Agentic AI contract review for construction

Every amendment reviewed in under 5 minutes.

Stop signing contracts with costly clauses buried in the amendments. StoneRise Agentic Contract Review flags every change that puts your margin, cash flow or programme at risk, and tells your QS what to push back on before you sign. Built for UK main contractors on JCT and NEC subcontracts.

What is Agentic Contract Review?

Every clause graded, with a position to take back.

It's AI contract review that works as a team of agents: one reads your schedule of amendments, one matches each clause to the standard form, one grades the risk, and another checks the work before your QS sees it.

StoneRise Agentic Contract Review compares each amendment with the indexed standard form: JCT, NEC or your bespoke terms. For every clause you get the same six things, plus an overall contract RAG rating and an executive summary.

FAQ

Questions about agentic AI contract review

What is agentic AI contract review?

Agentic AI contract review is AI contract review that works as a team of agents, not a single chatbot. One agent reads your schedule of amendments, one matches each clause to the standard form, one grades the risk, and another checks the work before your QS sees it. StoneRise Agentic Contract Review then returns the original wording, the proposed amendment, a High, Medium or Low grade, plain-English commentary, which risks can be passed to subcontractors, and a negotiation position on every clause.

Does it work with JCT and NEC subcontracts?

Yes. It is built for UK main contractors on JCT and NEC subcontracts, and it also reads bespoke terms. Each amendment is compared with the indexed standard form, so you see what the clause said before it was changed and what you are being asked to accept. Every clause gets the same review, plus an overall contract RAG rating and an executive summary.

How accurate is AI contract review?

The target is 98% factual accuracy. Clause references, original wording and amendment text are taken from your documents, not written from memory, and every fact links back to its source. The review is built not to invent a clause, a point of law or a price. If a clause cannot be matched to the standard form, it says so instead of guessing. A separate checking agent verifies every match and grade before the report is produced, and each grade shows the reasoning behind it so your QS can check it in seconds.

Who signs off the review?

Your QS signs it off. Agentic Contract Review does the first pass. Your QS reviews the findings, changes any grade or position they disagree with, and approves the report. Nothing goes into a negotiation without that approval.

Is our contract data kept secure?

Yes. StoneRise is UK-hosted and encrypted, ISO 27001 compliant, with role-based access so people only see the contracts they are allowed to open. RICS has found that privacy concerns are the barrier to AI that is growing fastest. Contract documents stay in your StoneRise workspace, and a finding is only used once your QS has signed it off.
