The drawings you hand out carry your warranty.
Your design coordinator has the set, the consultants’ revisions, and the lender’s checklist. Reading 500 sheets against each other is the thing that slips. Give a contractor a set to build from and you have warranted it is adequate to build from. Every conflict left in it comes back as a change order against your contingency — and as the weeks everyone spends arguing about who pays. Flikt reads all 16 disciplines against each other before the set goes out. Same day, so it fits between issue and bid.
Change orders don’t come from bad luck. They come from conflicts sitting in the drawings the whole time — and every one you catch before concrete is money that never leaves your pro forma.
What you’re up against
Three things every developer hears after the GMP is signed.
By the time the trades find the clash, you’re past the point where a redline is cheap.
The people who produced and manage the drawings are the wrong people to independently check them.
BIM was priced for the megaproject next door, not the $5M–$30M deal you actually closed.

Here’s what changes
Pre-construction review before bid leveling
You bid against a coordinated set, not a discovery process.
Severity-rated findings
Your team prioritizes what matters before IFC, not after mobilization.
An independent review layer
It doesn’t replace your architect or CM. It checks their work, on your behalf.
Every discipline, one pass
Each of these is read against every other one — that cross-reference is where the conflicts live. See the finding types that come back, with real examples from the published reports, or read where this is the wrong tool for the job.
Underwrite cost certainty.
