Provision
AI pre-construction platform that reads drawings, specs, and contracts to catch scope gaps and contract risk before bid day.
Per-project pricing is the detail most buyers will underrate: put twelve people on one $500 Scope Agent project and the seat math against Document Crunch or LegalOn stops being close. The citation-on-every-answer design is what makes the output usable in a dispute, and Risk Review's severity levels plus RFI and redline generation turn a flagged clause into something you can actually send. If your scopes are short and residential, the per-project fee won't pay back.

Skip Provision if your bid packages are short residential scopes, you need API access or ERP/estimating-stack integrations, or you won't engage sales without a self-serve trial first.
Scope Agent starts at $500 per project — roughly ten times the Chat Agent entry price — so teams that assume one flat subscription should budget per-project before committing.
Per-project pricing from $50 (Chat Agent), $100 (Risk Review), and $500 (Scope Agent) fits mid-size GCs and subcontractors running a handful of pursuits at a time. It undercuts per-seat contract-review platforms like LegalOn for small teams but adds up on high-volume bid calendars, where Document Crunch or TrunkTools quote differently and platform-level volume pricing requires a sales call.

About Provision
Provision is an AI risk-reduction platform built for pre-construction teams — estimators, pre-construction managers, and COOs at general contractors, plus subcontractors reviewing scope and contract terms before they sign. It reads drawings, specs, contracts, RFIs, and addenda, then returns source-cited answers, so every claim traces to a page, section, or clause instead of a model's guess. Vendor-published benchmarks put it at 95% verified accuracy on real project documents — the pricing page claims 95–99% on construction questions versus roughly 60% for generic AI. The platform is three products, not one. Chat Agent handles source-cited Q&A across an entire bid package and ships free with either paid product. Scope Agent identifies missing, unclear, or conflicting scope across drawings, specs, tables, and notes, then generates standardized scope packages. Risk Review runs automated contract analysis, flagging risky clauses, missing scope, and commercial exposures with high/medium/low severity levels, default-position comparisons, RFI and redline generation, and customizable review checklists. Scope Agent is now generally available. Scale numbers the vendor publishes: up to 100,000 pages per project including tables and complex references, 66,000 documents processed, 1M+ risks identified, 50,000 queries answered, and $100B+ in project value reviewed. Case studies cite $1.8M saved per year across P3 projects, 2,221 risks caught, $100K+ in claims avoided, contract review cut from 4–8 hours to same-day, and 2x faster through pursuits. G2 sits at 4.7 stars. Pricing is per project, not per seat — add the whole team to a project without adding to the bill. Chat Agent starts at $50, Risk Review at $100, Scope Agent at $500; teams running all three or needing volume go to a platform plan. That puts Provision against Document Crunch, TrunkTools, LegalOn, and raw LLMs. Its own comparison table leaves cross-document conflict detection and scope package generation blank
Behind the Verdict
Pick Provision when a bid package is the unit of work. If your pursuits run into the hundreds or thousands of pages and someone still has to defend the pricing assumptions in a meeting, the per-project fee is easy to justify — and because it isn't per seat, you can hand access to the whole pursuit team without a budget conversation. That is the structural difference from TrunkTools and LegalOn, which price in a way that makes wide access expensive. Scope Agent is the piece worth a serious look. Scope qualification is a different problem from quantity takeoff, and cross-document conflict detection plus standardized scope package generation are the two rows Provision's comparison table leaves empty for nearly everyone else. Vendors write their own comparison tables, so treat it as a claim rather than a finding — but it is the claim to test in a pilot. Risk Review is the easier sell internally. Four to eight hours of line-by-line contract review cut to same-day is a number a contracts manager can verify in a week, and default positions compared against uploaded language gives legal-adjacent reviewers a consistent baseline across projects. EllisDon's team reports six hours saved per contract reconciling supplementary conditions against base documents. Provision's recent writing follows where its customers' pain actually sits: RFIs traced back to weak scope letters, addenda tracking across ten-plus concurrent pursuits, longer sustainability specs that estimators miss. Useful context for scoping a pilot, though it is vendor content — read it as a map of the intended workflow, not independent evidence. Where it bites. This is pre-construction only. No project management, scheduling, or field execution; if you wanted one system for the whole job, Provision is a component,

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Provision actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
A 2,400-page healthcare spec package lands with 48 hours to bid. They upload the full package to Chat Agent, ask whether the mechanical scope covers the specified BAS integration, and get a source-cited answer pointing at the division 23 and 25 sections that conflict.
Outcome: The conflict becomes an RFI instead of a change order, and the bid goes out with a defensible assumption rather than a guess.
They run their draft scope letter through Scope Agent before sending it to the GC, looking for missing, unclear, or conflicting scope across the drawings and specs they were issued.
Outcome: Gaps surface before pricing is committed, which the vendor's case study material ties to reduced change orders and fewer subcontractor disputes during construction.
A tender contract arrives with non-standard terms. Risk Review flags clauses and commercial exposures with high/medium/low severity, compares the uploaded language against the firm's default positions, and drafts redlines and RFIs.
Outcome: Contract review that used to take 4–8 hours of manual line-by-line reading closes the same day, and every flagged term comes with a citation the reviewer can check.
Use Cases
- Review 2,400-page healthcare construction specs in minutes to catch missing scope before bid day
- Analyze subcontractor scope letters to identify vague requirements that lead to RFIs
- Compare contract language against default positions to flag high-risk clauses
- Generate RFIs and redlines for risky contract terms automatically
- Standardize scope packages across multiple bidders to ensure consistent coverage
- Feed multi-page tender documentation into source-cited Q&A to refine pricing assumptions and opportunities
- Copy and paste text out of locked files during a bid review without retyping
- Pressure-test a scope of work with the vendor's free pre-assessment before committing to a paid project
Limitations
- Pricing is per-project starting from $50 for Chat Agent, $500 for Scope Agent, and $100 for Risk Review, with no free tier mentioned in the scraped content.
- The platform claims 95% verified accuracy across real project documents and can read up to 100,000 pages per project.
- It is web-based, and the evidence does not mention a mobile app or API.
- The tool focuses on pre-construction document review, including drawings, specs, contracts, RFIs, and addenda.

Chat Agent
From $50 per project
Ideal for
A single estimator or bid manager who needs source-cited answers across one bid package without committing to a contract-review or scope product.
What this tier adds
Starting tier — source-cited Q&A across drawings, specs, contracts, RFIs, and addenda, up to 100,000 pages per project.
Risk Review (Chat Agent included free)
From $100 per project
Ideal for
Legal, risk, and commercial teams at contractors who review tender contracts line by line and need flagged clauses with severity levels and redlines.
What this tier adds
Adds automated contract analysis, high/medium/low severity flags, default-position comparison, RFI and redline generation, and custom review checklists — plus Chat Agent at no extra cost.
Scope Agent (Chat Agent included free)
From $500 per project
Ideal for
Subcontractors and GC pre-construction teams who write scopes of work and need to catch missing, unclear, or conflicting scope before pricing starts.
What this tier adds
Adds automatic scope gap detection across drawings, specs, tables, and notes plus standardized scope package generation in minutes — the highest-priced single product, with Chat Agent bundled free.
Platform Plan
Custom
Ideal for
Larger teams running high pursuit volume that want Chat Agent, Scope Agent, and Risk Review together without per-seat charges.
What this tier adds
All three products in one plan with volume pricing negotiated through sales — the only tier where the full stack is purchased together rather than à la carte.
Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Provision's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Per-project pricing from $50 (Chat Agent), $100 (Risk Review), and $500 (Scope Agent) fits mid-size GCs and subcontractors running a handful of pursuits at a time. It undercuts per-seat contract-review platforms like LegalOn for small teams but adds up on high-volume bid calendars, where Document Crunch or TrunkTools quote differently and platform-level volume pricing requires a sales call.
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Provision — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Individual users reach first value fast: upload a bid package and ask a question in Chat Agent the same session — the product is browser-based with no install. Team-level value takes longer: Risk Review checklists and default positions need configuring to match your firm's risk appetite, and payment runs through a demo or 'buy now' flow rather than free self-serve signup.

Switching to or from Provision
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From manual PDF review: upload the same drawings, specs, and contracts you already read by hand and use Chat Agent's citations to spot-check its answers against your own.
- →From ChatGPT or Claude: keep the general LLM for drafting, but move bid-package Q&A to Provision where answers cite the clause or page instead of paraphrasing.
- →From Document Crunch or LegalOn: run one contract through Risk Review alongside your current tool and compare flagged clauses and severity levels before switching pursuit volume over.
- →From a spreadsheet checklist: convert your existing risk checklist into Provision's customizable review lists so the same positions carry across projects.
- ↗To Document Crunch or LegalOn: export flagged clauses and redlines from a completed Risk Review project if you need a contract-review-only tool with a different pricing model.
- ↗To ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini: take your source documents with you, but expect to lose the clause-level citation trail and the scope package generation.
- ↗To your ERP or estimating stack: there is no documented API in the scraped content, so plan on manual export of RFIs, redlines, and scope packages.
