Automate Scope Validation on AIA Subcontractor Agreements

The Scope Checker Agent cross-references every element of the prime contract scope against the designated scope in each subagreement. When work is required by the construction documents but not clearly assigned to any specific trade, it flags that item as unassigned scope. It also detects interface zones between trades where coverage is ambiguous, such as where electrical scope ends and low voltage begins. These "white space" items are surfaced with risk context so project teams can resolve assignments before execution, not during construction.

The Scope Checker Agent prioritizes the most recent drawing revisions from Procore and flags discrepancies with older versions referenced in existing subagreements. When a late addendum changes a specification or a drawing revision modifies scope, it detects whether the corresponding subagreement still references outdated documents. This identifies cases where subcontract scope references no longer match the current project record.

No. The Scope Checker Agent validates scope assignments that project teams have made. It identifies where those assignments conflict with the construction documents, where exclusions create uncovered obligations, and where change orders have modified prime contract scope without a corresponding subcontract update. Project managers still decide how to resolve each flagged item. The Scope Checker Agent delivers the analysis that keeps those decisions informed rather than reactive.

When an executed change order modifies prime contract scope, the Scope Checker Agent compares the changed scope against every active AIA subcontractor agreement to determine which trades are affected. It flags subcontracts where work is being performed under a prime contract change order without a corresponding subcontract modification. This addresses a documented structural gap in the AIA system: the A401 creates a conduit for flowing down prime contract obligations, but no standard AIA document prescribes a workflow for confirming that each prime contract change has been properly reflected at the subcontract level.

The Scope Checker Agent evaluates each subcontractor exclusion against the full prime contract scope and construction document set. When an exclusion removes work that is required by the prime contract and not assigned to any other trade, it flags that item as an uncovered obligation with a risk assessment. It groups related exclusion items by CSI MasterFormat division so operations teams can evaluate cumulative exposure across all trade packages rather than reviewing exclusions one subcontract at a time.
