For construction, capital projects, and project management teams
Every drawing set read against every contract, so the gaps surface while they still cost nothing.
Why it matters
A change order is usually a gap that was visible in the documents before anyone broke ground.

Work that appears on a drawing but in no contract, and exclusions buried in bid qualifications. REAL reads both sides and names what nobody has agreed to do.
Demolition

Fire alarm tie-in
no contract covers it
Work is checked against the approved drawing while it is still accessible. A deviation found at rough-in is a conversation. The same deviation found at punch list is a change order.
Approved plan

Circuit count
A change order for work the contract already covers is not a change. Each one is checked against the executed scope and the approved drawing before it reaches an approver.

Assessment
Closeout is where undocumented changes surface. Comparing the bid set to the as-built shows what changed, whether a change order covered it, and whether it was paid for twice.

Change order on record
The same gap tends to recur across a rollout.
Nine of thirty-four projects with the same fire alarm tie-in gap is not nine accidents. Patterns across the portfolio become checks on the next bid package instead of a surprise on the next invoice.
Work that changes the building changes the asset register. An approved change order updates the equipment record and its warranty start without a separate handoff.

The REAL Suite
Each REAL agent is an expert in its domain, built to share context and act on what the others know. The more agents work in your portfolio, the more complete each one’s view of it becomes, and the stronger every decision your team makes.
Scope & Change Orders
Most change orders trace back to something already visible in the documents: scope on a drawing that no contract covers, or an exclusion buried in a bid qualification. REAL reads the drawing set against every contract and names the gaps while they are still free to fix, then checks execution against the approved plan during the build rather than at closeout.
Work that needs doing but that no party has contracted to do. It arises when a drawing shows something no bid priced, when each bidder assumed another trade would handle it, or when an exclusion in a bid qualification was never reassigned. It surfaces later as a change order at a worse price.
At the inspection stage where it is still accessible, which usually means underground or rough-in rather than punch list. Installed work is checked against the approved drawing version, so a circuit count or a panel location that differs from the plan is raised while correcting it is still cheap.
Against the executed contract scope and the approved drawing set. A change order claiming work the contract already covers is flagged with the clause that covers it. One reflecting genuine new scope is confirmed as such, with supporting references attached.
Yes, and closeout is where that comparison earns its keep. Differences between what was bid and what was built are surfaced along with whether a change order covered them, which catches both unbilled work and work paid for twice.
That is where it is strongest. The same omission recurs across a programme, so recurring patterns across the portfolio become checks on the next bid package rather than a repeated surprise.
REAL runs in a single tenant on your data, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, and your data is never used to train any model.
