What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the manual effort and risk involved in reviewing Chinese construction cost documents, helping professionals identify omissions, pricing inconsistencies, contract risks, unsupported claims, and missing evidence without inventing amounts or unsupported conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bill of Quantities Review: Check item codes, descriptions, units, quantities, project characteristics, suspected omissions, and quantity-price anomalies across construction, installation, municipal, and decoration work.
  • Cost and Contract Analysis: Support budgeting, bid review, unit-price analysis, settlement audits, progress-payment checks, material price adjustments, change orders, claims, contract risk registers, and target-cost monitoring.
  • Evidence-Based Deliverables: Produce traceable review tables, deduction and addition registers, risk ledgers, management summaries, missing-document lists, and human-confirmation points using contract clauses, page numbers, row references, drawings, and price-period sources.
  • Use Case: Given a contract, bill of quantities, settlement workbook, change-order register, and local price information, use the Skill to identify potentially duplicated items, unsupported adjustments, missing project characteristics, payment discrepancies, and unresolved evidence gaps.

Quick Start

Ask the costing-master skill to review the uploaded contract, bill of quantities, settlement files, and change-order records, then produce a traceable issue register, missing-document list, management summary, and second-pass quality review.
