Chapter 4. Run it as a business · Step 13 of 15
For GCs and owners
Everything so far is the sub's side. The same review works from the other side of the table. A GC can give every sub on a job's bid list a free review of the GC's own subcontract, and get back one clean page of asks from each, before buyout instead of after mobilization. An owner can require it across a project.

You see status and open high-risk counts. You never see a sub's pricing or private analysis, which is why the asks you get back are the real ones.
How a job works
One job, every sub, one board
- 1
Send the bid list one link
Each sub reviews your subcontract on their side, free to them. Nothing for your team to install or learn. - 2
Asks come back as one page each
Instead of a dozen markups in a dozen styles, every sub sends the same clean format: what they want changed and why. - 3
Settle it at the table
Work through the asks before anyone signs, so the problem a sub would have found in month four is handled in week one. - 4
Their review stays theirs
You see where each sub stands and what they ask for. The sub's private review of your paper stays private to them.
