Use AI to draft a pre-negotiation talking points sheet before discussing contract terms or project changes.

Before you sit down with an owner, architect, or sub to negotiate terms, pricing, or scope changes, you need your key points organized and your position clear. AI can help you create a structured talking points sheet in minutes—organizing your priorities, anticipating pushback, and keeping you focused when the conversation gets tense. Just tell AI the topic, what you want, and what concerns you expect. You'll walk in with a one-page reference that keeps you confident and on message instead of scrambling or forgetting important details mid-conversation. This works for contract negotiations, change order discussions, schedule extensions, cost disputes, or any high-stakes conversation where being prepared matters.

I'm meeting with the owner tomorrow to negotiate a 10-day schedule extension due to delayed material delivery and unexpected site conditions. I need to protect my timeline without losing goodwill. Create a one-page talking points sheet with: my main request, supporting reasons, anticipated objections and responses, and what I'm willing to compromise on. Keep it concise and professional.
