Full scope and delivery details
A commercial review of one proposed UK construction subcontract for one trade package, using the documents you supply. The review covers scope, payment, changes, programme, completion and obligations passed down to your business.
Jack personally checks the findings and recommendations in your report before it is emailed to you.
Scope and limits
- One proposed subcontract and one trade package, with up to 100 pages across the complete submission.
- The service ends with the report. Negotiation, redrafting and review of a revised agreement are separate work.
- The review identifies commercial concerns. Specialist legal, insurance, tax and technical advice is outside this product.
Your completed report
- A PDF commercial risk report with prioritised findings and references to the relevant clauses.
- A summary of key payment, notice and delivery obligations in the proposed subcontract.
- A list of clarification questions and commercial points to raise before signing.
One consolidated clarification round is included within 10 working days of issue. We correct our own errors without charge; additional documents or a changed scope are separate work.
The 24-hour turnaround
Your deadline is 24 elapsed hours, including weekends, from payment and receipt of all the information in the checklist. We check for missing or unreadable items and confirm the exact delivery time by email. A later review of your files does not restart the clock.
A payment receipt or successful upload alone does not confirm that the information is complete. Changes to the brief or replacement documents after work starts need a separate agreement.
