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.
