Know what you are signing
before the price is locked.
A bid package can look complete and still carry scope you have not priced, qualifications that conflict, and obligations buried in hundreds of pages. Halozen helps your team surface what matters before the number is locked.
What are we about to commit to that is not properly priced?
Scope and fee agreed up front. No implementation. NDA first.
The mistake didn’t happen in the field. It happened months earlier.
- 01The package
The base specification looked normal. A supplementary condition quietly moved a testing and temporary-services requirement onto the contractor.
- 02The estimate
The team priced what was obvious in the drawings and trade scopes. Nobody carried that clause into the number, and nobody excluded it.
- 03Award
The job was awarded on that number.
- 04Months later
The owner pointed back to the contract: this is your obligation. The work got done, at a cost that was not trivial, with almost no commercial argument left. The clause was there before bid day.
One obligation never made it from the contract into the commercial decision. That is what a pre-award review is for.
A working review, not another hundred-page summary.
What matters, where it came from, and what still needs a decision, in a form your estimating team can use before bid day.
Every material commitment the package creates, each tied back to source.
Scope gaps, conflicting requirements, and commercial exposure that need a decision.
Changes and amendments that alter the standard terms or create contract defects.
Items with no clear owner, so nothing gets accepted by default.
Review each item
with full context.
See the requirement, its commercial meaning, what would prove it, and the exact clause it came from, all in one review flow.
Notify the Engineer in writing of the intention to claim additional compensation within ten (10) calendar days.
A dated written notice to the Engineer, within 10 calendar days of the event or first recognition, and before the work begins.
GENERAL PROVISIONS › 50-17 › GP-23
Clear obligation extracted from the contract with full context.
Link to the original document, page and clause.
Acceptance criteria, related evidence, and notes from your team.
Built around the bid room, not another place to re-enter the bid.
We review the documents your team already works from, in the formats you already receive them. No new workflow before bid day.
The estimator still
carries the number.
We give the team a cited commercial review so the people responsible for the bid can make a better decision in front of them.
The review is input to a judgement your team has been making for years.
What to carry, qualify, exclude or price is yours.
Clarifications, RFIs and the bid itself go out from your team, in your name. Halozen never contacts the owner or the design team.
No citation, no output.
The people who answer for the number.
Catch scope and pricing exposure before the estimate is final.
See the commercial issues needing a decision across the whole bid.
Run a commercial review without asking every estimator to read every page twice.
Start with
one live bid.
Pick a package your team is already reviewing. We return a source-cited commercial review before the price is locked.
No implementation. Start with the records you already have.
