Commercial Risk Reviews for Active Bids.
We provide pre-submission commercial risk reviews during the estimating window—applying extensive commercial judgment to owner-written terms and conditions to distinguish what should be elevated, what should be priced, and what should be carried forward deliberately.
What We Do
EAG reviews owner-provided terms and conditions during the bid window to help contractors make informed commercial risk decisions before submission.
This work most often supports the final internal bid review before positions are finalized and leadership sign-off occurs.
We focus on three areas:
Identify decision-critical commercial risk
We review full owner-issued terms and conditions to understand how risk affects cost, cashflow, and execution exposure before pricing is finalized.
Determine what to elevate—and how to manage the rest
We apply judgment to decide which risks warrant clarification, how to frame them for owner acceptance, and which risks are better managed internally.
Provide clear internal guidance on residual risk
For risks that are determined to be better managed internally, we provide clear guidance on how residual exposure should be priced, governed, and managed so teams better understand how contractual risk should be managed during execution.
Judgment matters most prior to bid submission.
Our perspective is shaped by extensive owner-side bid reviews and post-award outcomes.
We’ve seen which clarifications bridge alignment gaps, which positions quietly weaken leverage, and how residual risk actually plays out once work is underway.
EAG applies that judgment during the bid window—before positions harden and leverage is lost.
Selective Elevation™
Selective Elevation™ is the disciplined application of commercial judgment—deciding what to clarify, how to frame it for acceptance, and how residual risk should be positioned for pricing and execution.
