Contractor Offer Review Checklist

Contractor Offer Review Checklist

A contractor offer should be reviewed as a decision document, not only as a price. This checklist helps identify the main points that should be clarified before any agreement is accepted.

Scope review

Check: - what is included - what is excluded - which assumptions are behind the offer - whether site conditions are verified or assumed

Schedule review

Check: - proposed start date - milestone structure - known delay risks - early decision dependencies

Responsibility review

Check: - who coordinates the project day to day - whether subcontractors are involved - how quality is controlled - how corrections are managed

Payment and change review

Check: - payment stages - documentation of deliverables - how variations are priced - how scope changes are approved

Final note

The stronger the review, the lower the ambiguity during execution.
