Redline construction contracts in minutes — not weeks.
Built for midsize contractors and subcontractors. RCS reads the contract the GC sent, catches the outdated and one-sided terms, and redlines them against current construction law and your firm's standards — handed back fully marked up and ready for your team, in minutes.

Subcontractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor from any and all claims, including those arising from the sole negligence of the Contractorexcept to the extent caused by Contractor's own negligence.
Payment shall be due within ninety (90) thirty (30) days of a properly submitted invoice, contingent on Owner payment.
Either party may terminate for cause upon fourteen (14) days written notice and an opportunity to cure.
Your standards and the law — applied to the real contract.
Generic AI flags clauses. RCS marks up the contract the way your firm would — catching the outdated, one-sided terms and rewriting them to current law and your own standards.
Your rules, your non-negotiables
Load your firm's standard positions once — what you reject outright, what you'll negotiate, and your fallback language. RCS applies them to every contract, the same way, every time.
Current law for the state you build in
RCS reviews every clause against the construction law that applies where the work is today — pay-if-paid bans, anti-indemnity statutes, lien deadlines, retainage caps, prompt-payment rules — and flags the terms in the GC's contract that are outdated, off-market, or unenforceable.
Fully marked-up, ready for your team
You get the actual contract back with redlines in place — struck language, proposed revisions, and recommendations — so your team and legal review a finished markup, not a blank page.
Your contracts never touch public space.
RCS runs inside your own private cloud — not a shared, general AI platform. Your contracts, quotes, pricing, and invoicing stay firewalled in an instance you control, where competitors and the public can never see them.
Lives in your instance
Your workspace runs inside your own private cloud account. Contracts, quotes, and pricing sit on infrastructure you own and control — not on our servers, and not in a shared, general-purpose AI tool.
Firewalled from the world
What you review is private to your team. No competitor, no vendor, and no member of the public can see the contracts you're working, the prices in them, or what your job is worth.
Never trains shared AI
Your documents are never used to train public or shared models. What you upload is reviewed and stays yours — nothing leaks into a general AI system that someone else can query.
You hold the keys
Encrypted in transit and at rest, access-controlled to your team, and deletable on your schedule. You decide who can see what, and for how long.
In construction, your numbers are your edge. RCS is built so they stay that way.
Every day a contract sits in review, the project waits.
Manual contract review is the quiet bottleneck between a signed letter of intent and boots on the ground. It's slow, it's inconsistent, and the risk it's meant to catch still slips through.
Review drags on
Partners and project managers disappear into 60-page agreements while the start date — and the cash flow — waits.
Risk hides in the fine print
Indemnity, liens, pay-when-paid, delay damages. One overlooked term under deadline pressure can cost six figures.
Everyone redlines differently
Inconsistent markup, lost positions, and endless back-and-forth that no one can reconcile by closing.
From inbox to redlined in one sitting.
Upload the contract
Drop in a PDF or Word file — subcontracts, prime agreements, purchase orders, AIA forms. Any format, any length.
AI redlines it
Redline reads every clause, scores the risk, and proposes tracked-changes edits with a plain-English rationale — measured against your playbook.
Review & send
Accept, adjust, or override each suggestion. Export clean tracked changes and send it back the same day.
A reviewer that never skims, never tires, never forgets a position.
Clause detection & classification
Every provision identified and categorized — indemnity, payment, scope, insurance, dispute, delay — no matter how it's worded or buried.
Risk scoring in plain English
High / medium / low on each clause, with a clear explanation of what the language actually exposes you to.
Suggested redlines with rationale
Concrete proposed edits — not just flags — written in your voice, each backed by the reason it matters.
Your playbook, enforced
Load your standard positions and fallback language once. Redline applies them to every contract, automatically and consistently.
Tracked-changes export
Output clean Word redlines and comment threads your counterparty can open and respond to — no reformatting.
Built for construction
Tuned to AIA, ConsensusDocs, and custom owner forms — and the lien, retainage, and flow-down terms that define the trade.
See exactly what your reviewer would — only faster.
Here's a real excerpt from a subcontract agreement after Redline has been through it. Struck text is what to remove; green is what to add.
It catches the one-sided indemnity
Sole-negligence language is struck and replaced with a comparative-fault carve-out — the position your counsel would take every time.
It fixes the payment terms
Net-90 becomes net-30, and the contingent pay-when-paid trigger is surfaced for your call.
It tells you what's already fine
Standard, balanced clauses are marked low-risk so your team spends zero minutes on language that doesn't need them.
Subcontractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor from any and all claims, including those arising from the sole negligence of the Contractorexcept to the extent caused by Contractor's own negligence.
Payment shall be due within ninety (90) thirty (30) days of a properly submitted invoice, contingent on Owner payment.
Either party may terminate for cause upon fourteen (14) days written notice and an opportunity to cure.
Built for everyone with a contract on the critical path.

One missed indemnity or pay-when-paid clause can cost $50k–$500k+. A firm doing 40–80 subcontracts a year saves $90k–$300k in review time. Plans start at $800/mo and scale with your volume.

Signing the wrong lien waiver can release security for money you haven't actually received — and some states prescribe forms you can't lawfully alter.
