Cross-Check Your Trade Proposal Against Contract Drawings & Specifications
Scope & Proposal Review • Contract Drawings vs. Trade Quote
How BuildDesk Performs This Review
Subcontractors often lose profit on items shown on drawings or buried in specifications that were omitted from their proposal scope. BuildDesk conducts a rigorous pre-submission audit comparing your draft quote against contract documents to uncover hidden scope exposure.
- •Your draft proposal, quote worksheet, and listed exclusions
- •Relevant trade drawing sheets and general architectural notes
- •Trade specification sections (e.g., Division 07, 08, 09, 26)
- Audit drawing notes and detail callouts against your proposed inclusions
- Review specification sections for mandatory trade scope (mockups, testing, warranties)
- Flag ambiguous items where drawings and specifications conflict
- Provide an itemized coverage report highlighting missing or uncovered requirements
