Used on more than 2,500 construction tenders and contracts
Expertise has never been the constraint. Complexity is.
Missed obligations
Flagged with their source, before they become disqualifications or claims.
Time-consuming
Reading and checking done early, so the weeks go to the bid and the risks.
Unchecked quantities
Built from the drawings and model where you measure, checked where the client supplies the bill.
Lack of repeatability
What you learn on one tender carries into delivery and the next one.
The workflows
Give Volve a task and it runs the work, verifies the result and shows how it got there. Save a task as a Playbook to run it on the next project.
Chat reaches the documents, scope and numbers across versions. Longer tasks run in the background and show progress.

What comes back
A risk register with 18 items and 6 time bars, each traced to the clause.
Quantities
Volve checks the bill against your drawings, specification and BIM model, and builds one where the tender has none.
Every line shows how the quantity was found: measured, counted, conditional or not quantified. Your team decides how the gaps close before pricing.

In the specification, not on the drawings
Each line links to the page, drawing or model element it came from.
Risk, scope, bid and procurement. One baseline for the whole team.
Each needs something different as the tender moves from first read into the contract. Findings and sign-offs carry over, so the project team inherits what the bid team found.
Understand what you're taking on
From first read to final account, risk decides the terms you sign. Go/no-go, contract reviews, risk drivers, deviations, obligations and time bars. Volve connects the full set and links each finding to its source.
Free checklist: contract review
Different roles, different needs, one structured baseline.
Contractors and client-side teams run the same checks from each side of the tender. The judgement stays with your team.
Estimates, quantities and pricing, checked against drawings and the model.

✓ Same checks on every tender
Your standards and processes, every time
Each tender is checked against the contract and technical standards and specification system it uses, such as NS 8407, FIDIC, NEC, NS 3420 or NRM, and run through your own process and checklists. The same way, whoever runs the review.
