  1. The project record

    Where construction margin risk starts

    SiteScribe Intelligence surfaces material cost and delivery events from connected drawings, instructions, emails and site records. A revised detail, late approval or access restriction becomes a source-linked signal for the Commercial Agent, while the team still has time to assess the exposure.

  2. The commercial position

    Separate the exposure from the recovery route

    SiteScribe brings what changed, the affected work, supporting records and evidence gaps into one Action Thread. The Commercial Agent prepares from that basis, helping the team distinguish internal cost exposure from a potential recovery route and test what the contract supports.

  3. Agent preparation

    Prepare the next commercial move

    The Commercial Agent prepares a source-linked response pack or a targeted request for the missing instruction, approval or supporting record. Your commercial professional reviews the basis, directs the next move and approves the correspondence before it is issued.

  4. Action and follow-through

    Keep the next move accountable

    SiteScribe keeps the action deadline, professional direction and issued correspondence in the same Action Thread. Captured replies return with a provisional interpretation and recommended next move, so the commercial team can review the position as the conversation develops.

  5. Professional review

    Example: revised detail after procurement

    SiteScribe can surface a façade revision affecting ordered brackets, connect the available drawing, purchase order and site records, and prepare a request for the outstanding instruction. The team assesses the cost and programme consequences, then decides the mitigation and contractual response.

Questions from commercial teams

Can commercial agents guarantee margin protection?

No. Available records, commercial judgement and the team's response determine the outcome. SiteScribe helps teams identify exposure and prepare action while they can still influence the position.

Does every margin risk become a claim?

No. Some require internal mitigation, some may have an external recovery route, and some require both. The contract and facts determine the appropriate route.
