AI can generate a custom review checklist based on the project type and documents you have — so you walk into estimate meetings or bid reviews with confidence that you haven't overlooked anything critical. Use this prompt when you're reviewing plans, specs, or RFPs before submitting a proposal or finalizing a contract.

“Act as an experienced construction estimator and project planner. I'm preparing to bid on a project and need a detailed scope review checklist to make sure I don't miss anything important before pricing or committing. The project is: [describe project type, size, and key details — e.g., "a 3,500 sq ft commercial tenant improvement including new HVAC, electrical upgrades, and interior finishes"]. Create a thorough checklist I can use to review the plans, specs, and scope documents. Organize it by category (site conditions, structural, MEP, finishes, permits, etc.). For each item, include what to verify, what questions to ask, and what could become a cost or schedule risk if overlooked. Make it practical and easy to use during a plan review or pre-bid walkthrough.”
