Temporary power requirements not carried
Suggested action
Carry temporary power and construction lighting as an allowance, or exclude utility fees and distribution beyond GC-provided service.
The problem
Missed quantity is not the only way bids lose money. Unclear scope, buried spec requirements, vague ownership, and weak proposal language can survive review and damage margin after the bid is won.
Corvello Risk Intelligence
Corvello reviews every package across drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions to surface what matters. Findings are confidence-scored, source-cited, and filtered for action before submission.
Drawings, specs, addenda, alternates, proposal instructions, and estimator context stay connected in one review.
Drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions are reviewed together so the risk shows up before submission.
Accept, reject, or edit source-cited findings before they become exclusions, clarifications, assumptions, or RFIs.
What it catches
Corvello cross-references drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions to surface the exposure quantity counts miss.
Cost exposure that is implied by the package but easy to miss when takeoff is focused on quantities.
Examples
Temporary power, firestopping, cutting and patching, core drilling.
Responsibility gaps where furnish, install, wire, program, commission, or pay is not nailed down.
Examples
Div 26 / 27 / 28 overlap, fire alarm, access control, lighting controls.
Specification language that adds labor, coordination, warranty, testing, closeout, or procurement burden.
Examples
Commissioning, permits, arc flash labels, O&M manuals, owner training.
Weak proposal language that leaves someone else to define your scope after award.
Examples
Premium time, utility fees, shutdowns, AHJ costs, coordination allowances.
Structured output
Every finding cites the source, explains the exposure, and gives you proposal-ready support before submission.

Built for
Too many bids in flight to review every risk line by line.
Complex packages, tight deadlines, and no second set of eyes.

Running the business and estimating, with no room for silent scope.
Security
Corvello is designed around private company workspaces, controlled document access, and reviewable outputs — so your team can analyze bid risk without treating sensitive bid packages like disposable chat prompts.
Each company works inside its own workspace. New users from the same company domain require approval before accessing prior analyses.
Bid packages are stored in private project paths, with server-side checks around document access and upload promotion.
Findings include page references, source excerpts, and structured proposal-defense language so estimators can verify before using the output.
Important actions like member approvals, analysis events, finding decisions, and plan changes are recorded for auditability.
Pricing
Every plan covers one company workspace with unlimited collaborators. Price scales with bid volume — how many packages your office runs through Corvello each month.
