Close scope gaps before it costs you.
RACOS reads your project documents, writes a scope of work and bid sheet for every trade, and surfaces gaps, errors, and omissions before contracts are signed.
Most disputes with subs start in the bid phase
Scope gaps are introduced when a responsibility gets missed. They surface in the field, when it costs the most.
Always under a deadline.
Documents that run hundreds to thousands of pages, with addenda and revisions arriving mid-bid.
Errors and omissions hiding in the documents.
A manual review of each trade, one at a time.
A familiar story
“The sump pump was on the architectural sheets. Plumbing never saw it.”
RACOS does the reading and the writing. You make the calls.
Every drawing sheet, down to the individual notes, callouts, and annotations. The specifications, section by section, with all reference documents and owner standards included. Send us everything.
Organized by trade.
What is on the sheets and in the specs, without anyone tagging it first. The same unit drawn five ways on five sheets is one component, and each one goes to a trade. Disagree? Reassign it, and the impacted scopes are updated.
Written with receipts.
Not a regurgitation of everything. Line items stated clearly, in the order a PM reads it, with the sheets it came from underneath. Click the line and you are looking at the drawing. Edit anything, and every line carries receipts: the referenced documents, what changed, by who, why, and when.

Every project makes the next one smarter
In most offices the lessons learned live in somebody’s head. RACOS keeps them, and every project your team runs teaches it more about how your company works.
It learns how your company works
Fire caulking with MEP trades. “Trade partner,” not “subcontractor.” Low voltage as a separate trade. When your team makes the same call across projects, the trade reassignments, the renames, the way a line is worded, RACOS picks it up, and the next draft starts from it instead of a blank template.
Your standard, whoever runs the job
Your trades, your trade names, your letterhead. Set them up once, and every project comes out in your firm’s structure, no matter which PM or estimator picks it up. Customize per project as needed.
The office’s memory stays
When your best estimator moves on, their judgment stays: the assignments, the wording, the calls on what belongs to which trade. The next hire starts from your firm’s scopes and builds on everything the office already knows.
