EllisDon is a global construction services company with 15 offices and 4,000+ global employees. They complete over $6 billion of construction per year. Recently, they chose to improve their contract risk review process.
Manual, time-consuming processes
Hours spent on keyword searches, cross-references, and generating comment and disposition tables — all done by hand.
Disjointed collaboration
Multiple tools separated project managers, estimators, and legal teams — limiting collaboration during pre-construction.
$20M CAD/year in missed risks
Unfavorable terms and unresolved risks led to disputes averaging $20 million CAD in losses every year — largely from avoidable claims.
EllisDon solved these problems by implementing Provision — the first end-to-end contract risk management tool built for contractors and subcontractors. With Provision, they automated reviews, unified their teams, and surfaced risks they previously missed.
“Reconciling supplementary conditions against base documents saves me six hours per contract.”
— Ryan Di Lella, Manager of Contract Risk, EllisDon
“Provision made finding critical information much faster, preventing missed deadlines.”
— Alexandra Ciccarelli, Project Manager, EllisDon
Provision is now embedded across EllisDon’s pre-construction workflow. Multiple teams comment, suggest revisions, and track changes in real-time — including with external counsel — from a single platform.
“Provision encouraged greater engagement from all team members, ensuring risks were addressed early.”
— Manik Raina, Vice President of Legal Services, EllisDon
“There was one big risk that Provision found that we actually didn’t understand or appreciate. I was able to immediately point to it and go, ‘Hey, here’s what it is, where it is in the document.’”
— Ashley Maxwell, Project Manager, EllisDon
“If people knew their contracts better, we could eliminate 15–50% of disputes annually.”
— Christian Wiechmann, Commercial Services and Project Controls, EllisDon
By switching from manual contract reviews to Provision, EllisDon has generated meaningful results across every stage of their risk review process.
As Ryan Di Lella at EllisDon summarizes:
“Provision is indispensable for streamlining contract review, enhancing team collaboration, and proactively managing project risks. It’s a must-have for any firm aiming to reduce disputes and improve operational efficiency.”
