Contract Review Software

  • 1.  Contract Review Software

    Posted 13 days ago

    Just wondering if any other subcontractors have looked at Contract Review software?  Our current process is paper-based and we are trying to have everything be computer-based with AI review integrated as well.  ChatGPT helps to focus on issues, but wondering what others have used and would recommend.

    What is Document Crunch and its capabilities?  It would be nice to have something that quickly review long contracts.

    DocumentCrunch is a construction-specific AI based contrat review tool.  We upload all of our contracts to it and it quickly scans and earmarks all key areas that should be reviewed (Insurance requirements, bonding, liquidated damages, notices, etc).  It also gives you the ability to "chat" with your contract which allows you to understand it better.  It has been a game changer for us.

    Hi Vince.

    Thank you for elaborating!  What do you like most about it?  Does it catch things that the naked eye can easily miss?

    I know this has come up in the past, but I'd definitely be interested in hearing what others are doing regarding contract reviews.

    I really like First Rule.  I previewed the software on one of their webinars.  It is solid, scalable, and has one add on feature that is worth the entire price of the software for Kelley Brothers Roofing....a contract summary.  We waste time and effort with estimating, procurement, operations and accounting not fully understanding what the contract really says.  We ask contract questions over and over again throughout the job.  This summary gets the company singing from the same sheet of music so to speak.  We will seriously look at incorporating this software into KBR this summer.  If the add on feature is worth the price of admission, the buy decision should be a "no brainer".

    Thank you, Joseph! I'll look into that one as well.  Did you compare it to DocuCrunch or any other similar software?

    Hi Daniel- 

    We use First Rule and have great feedback from our PMs about it. They are heavily involved with CFMA and you can find their booth at most regional conferences and definitely at the national conference. They do have a free contract upload on their website if you'd like to check it out.

    Great question Daniel!

    Would love to see if First Rule could be a fit for you (and anyone else who expressed interest) and I would be happy to have a 15 minute call with anyone who'd like to understand more.  Just shoot me an email (Victor@firstrulecm.ai).  As Jasmina mentioned, we do have a free and secure contract upload on our website for you to try it out (https://firstrulecm.ai/).  Just click "Start reviewing in minutes", then you have to create an account (that is how we keep your documents secure), no credit card needed.  Thanks Jasmina :).

    Document Crunch is also good.  We often compete with each other in the market for contractors looking for AI contract review.  Major differences include our ability to scale with your organization (as Joe mentioned), our ability to create a company specific workflow, and we have a greater focus on analytics and risk scoring to help make it easy for you to decide to move forward with a contract (at our mastery tier).  Of course I am a bit bias on this...

    Would welcome you to check out both products and decide for yourself.  To our knowledge First Rule and Document Crunch are the only two "built for construction" AI contract review products.  Everything else seems to have started as industry agnostic and are trying to get into the construction space.  But as we all know in this industry, construction contracts are just different!

    Good morning, Victor.  

    I appreciate your honesty and respect for your competitor. I have not seen that much lately. 

    Thank you for noting the key differences in your software.  I will definitely check out the free online demo.
