Frequently asked questions
Get in touch if you have a question not covered here.
Can LateShield prepare a bill of quantities for my project?
Yes. LateShield can prepare detailed bills of quantities giving contractors a clear, comparable basis for tendering.
What is a scope-gap review?
A scope-gap review checks a contractor's quotation or contract documents for items that are missing, ambiguous or likely to generate additional costs. LateShield identifies the gaps and provides a written summary.
Can LateShield check a contractor's quote?
Yes. LateShield can review a quotation, compare it against the scope of work and provide a written assessment of whether the price is reasonable and what may be missing.
