Stop spending 6 hours on a tender pack that should take 20 minutes. Upload your 300-page ZIP and get a clause-level risk analysis before your bid deadline.
LazyQS flags scope gaps, unfair payment terms, missing liquidated damages caps, and programme risks — with exact page references so you know exactly where to push back.
No credit card required. First review is free.
A tender pack arrives Friday afternoon. There are 47 documents, a 200-page employer's requirements, and three different versions of the spec. The deadline is Monday morning.
That is the realistic time to read a large tender pack manually and not miss anything material. Most QSs are doing three tenders at once.
Works described in the spec but absent from the bills. Design responsibility buried in clause 4.3. You miss it at tender, you carry it at delivery.
30-day payment terms buried in the subcontract conditions. No cap on LADs. Unlimited fitness-for-purpose warranties. Clause 23 that transfers main-contract risk in full.
There is no time to read everything properly. You qualify what you can see and hope for the best. That is not a risk management strategy.
Three steps. No setup. No training required.
Drop in every document from the ZIP — specs, drawings schedules, employer's requirements, subcontract conditions. PDF, DOCX, XLSX all accepted. Up to 75MB per file.
LazyQS reads the full pack, cross-references documents for contradictions, and filters findings to your trade scope. No copy-pasting. No manual prompting. It checks what you would check if you had 6 hours.
A structured risk register with exact page references, clause citations, and recommended amendments. Ready to export as PDF or Excel. Email notification when complete — usually within 30 minutes.
Specific findings, not generic summaries. Every risk category has a page reference.
Works in the specification or drawings that are not explicitly included or excluded in the bills of quantities. The kind of thing that becomes a variation claim on day one.
Pay-when-paid provisions, assessment period end-dates that defeat the Housing Grants Act, retention deductions with no release trigger.
Missing or uncapped liquidated and ascertained damages. Sectional completion obligations with no corresponding access dates. Programme that makes the LAD trigger unavoidable.
Fitness-for-purpose obligations pushed downstream. Novation clauses. Employer's design that becomes your liability at contract execution.
Access restrictions, working hours, welfare obligations, and noise constraints that affect your programme but are buried in the preliminaries or health and safety plan.
Main-contract terms incorporated by reference without a corresponding schedule. Risk transfer clauses that make the subcontract worse than the underlying contract.
The kind of risks that cost subcontractors money at delivery. Every example below was flagged by LazyQS.

About AI tender pack review
Most tender pack reviews complete in 10–30 minutes, depending on the pack size and number of documents. Large scanned packs with poor OCR can take a little longer. You will receive an email notification when your review is ready.
LazyQS accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and CSV files up to 75MB per file. You can upload multiple documents as separate files — drawings schedules, specifications, contract conditions, employer's requirements, all of it. Zipped folders and image-only scans without OCR text are not currently supported.
Yes. When you upload a tender pack you select your trade scope — M&E, structural, fit-out, groundworks, roofing, and more. LazyQS filters findings so you only see risks and obligations relevant to your specific scope of works, not every clause in the spec.
LazyQS flags scope gaps (works described but not priced), unfair payment terms, missing liquidated damages caps, programme risks, design responsibility pushed to the subcontractor, absence of site constraints information, and 47 other risk categories. Every finding comes with an exact page reference.
