Contracts Q&A Module

Ask Your Contract
a Question.
Get an Instant Answer.

The Contracts Q&A module is a document-aware AI assistant trained on construction contract language. Upload your contract documents — subcontracts, prime contracts, specifications, general conditions — and ask questions in plain English.

Plain English Questions. Clause-Level Answers.

Upload any contract document and start asking questions. The AI reads the actual language of your contract — not a generic summary — and cites the exact clause and page number behind every answer.

Contracts Q&A — Sample Session
PM
What is the notice period for delay claims under this subcontract?
AI
Under this subcontract, written notice of a delay claim must be submitted within 7 days of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to provide timely notice may waive entitlement to an extension of time or additional compensation.
↳ Clause 18.3, Page 24 — "Claims for Extension of Time"
PM
Does this subcontract flow down liquidated damages from the head contract?
AI
Yes. Clause 11.2 includes a flow-down provision that makes you liable for LDs at the same rate as the head contract if your scope delays Practical Completion. The current LD rate is $2,500 per calendar day, per Schedule 1 of the Head Contract attached as Annexure B.
↳ Clause 11.2, Page 16 — "Liquidated Damages" & Annexure B, Page 47
PM
What are the payment terms for progress claims?
AI
Progress claims must be submitted on the 25th of each month. The Head Contractor is required to respond with a payment schedule within 10 business days. Payment is due 30 days from the claim date. Late payments attract interest at the rate set in Clause 14.6.
↳ Clause 14.1–14.6, Pages 19–20 — "Progress Claims and Payment"

EOT Entitlement Analysis

🔔
Notice Requirement Tracking
Extracts every notice period from the contract and adds them to a calendar. Never miss a notice obligation that could waive a claim entitlement.

Every Answer on the Record

Content to be populated

Audit trail features — AI answers cite exact clause and page; Q&A threads can be saved to the project record; saved threads are timestamped and user-attributed; module supports claim preparation by providing a searchable library of contract positions; dispute avoidance by surfacing obligations before they are missed.

Every Q&A session is logged to the project record with timestamp, user, question, answer, and source citations. When a dispute arises, your team's documented research into the contract terms is already on record — showing due diligence, not improvisation.
