Red Flags Our AI Caught
These are real patterns extracted from Chennai contractor quotes — anonymized for privacy. Each one cost clients money before Buildogram's AI was involved.
Risk: Contractor can switch from pile to spread footing, saving them ₹3L at your expense — while delivering a structurally inferior foundation.
Risk: Open-ended clause — expect ₹1.5–2L extra demand mid-project. "As required" is the most abused phrase in Chennai renovation quotes.
Risk: High advance creates contractor dependency; industry standard is 10–15% mobilization. You lose all negotiation leverage once payment is made.
Risk: Most ECR plots need 50–80 RM compound wall: ₹2.5–4L excluded from quoted scope. "Later" always costs more.
Risk: No tile brand, no paint grade, no fixture spec — this is a blank check for contractor upgrades billed as extras.

Common Red Flags We Detect
Our model is trained on over 2,400 real Chennai contractor quotes. These are the most financially damaging patterns it has learned to identify.
Unspecified Material Brands
Quotes that say "ISI-grade tiles" or "branded paint" without naming the brand allow substitution to the cheapest option available.
High Mobilization Advance (>20%)
An advance above 20% of project value before a single brick is laid significantly weakens your position if quality issues arise.
"As Required" Scope Items
Any scope item described as "as required," "if needed," or "based on site conditions" is an open billing invitation.
Missing Compound Wall / Sump / OHT
These three elements are commonly excluded from base quotes and collectively add ₹3–6L to final project cost.
No Penalty Clause for Delays
Without a defined liquidated damages clause, contractors have zero financial incentive to complete your project on schedule.
Vague Payment Milestone Triggers
"On completion of first floor slab" — what does completion mean? Ambiguous milestones increase the risk of payment disputes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions from clients who have used this tool.
QIs this the same as a BOQ check?
Different focus. BOQ checking analyzes the quantified items list for missing items and rate anomalies. Quote analysis focuses on contract terms, payment structure, scope exclusions, and legal clause risks. Both are complementary — many clients use both tools together.
QCan I use this for renovation quotes?
Absolutely. Renovation quotes are especially prone to scope ambiguity — for example, "demolish and redo bathroom" — does that include plumbing, waterproofing, and tile, or just tiles? Our AI is specifically trained on Chennai renovation contracts to catch these patterns.
QDo you share quotes with third parties?
No. All documents uploaded are processed by Buildogram's AI and deleted after analysis. We do not share your data with contractors, vendors, or third parties. Your quote contents are never used for model training without explicit consent.
QWhat happens after I get the risk report?
You can either use it to negotiate directly with your contractor, or request a Buildogram engineer to facilitate a structured negotiation meeting. Our team has facilitated 400+ contractor negotiations across Chennai and surrounding areas.
