EllisDon’s team runs live building projects where a single missed contract obligation can stall a site. Here is how Provision changed the way they work.
The obligations a project depends on are buried inside dense contracts. Before Provision, the team navigated them by hand, with manual review and Ctrl+F. That approach failed for three reasons:
Inconsistent terminology
The same party might be the “Contractor” in one section and the “M&R Provider” in another, so a keyword search rarely surfaced every relevant obligation.
10 to 20 hours per review
Reviewing one contract could mean full days of reading and cross-referencing by hand, and the effort only grew as projects matured and responsibilities shifted.
Effort, not information
The problem was never a lack of information. It was the work required to locate, connect, and interpret requirements spread across thousands of pages.

... and hope nothing slipped through.
While Provision is often associated with pre-construction contract review, EllisDon uses it where it delivers value every day. Provision answers the day-to-day questions that once meant digging through the document by hand.
“Provision is more intuitive for contract specifics. And we cannot upload contracts to general-purpose tools. Provision was built for this.”
Provision is part of the workflow across the portfolio. The team uses it to:
“Chat Agent summarizes contract information so well that I share the summary directly with my team. But I always check the source. That is the discipline.”
Adoption spread across EllisDon largely by word of mouth. New users become advocates for their own teams, and it keeps expanding company-wide.
On a recent project, the team used Provision to review contract obligations and validate readiness. During that review, Provision identified a security clearance requirement that needed significant lead time. Obtaining the clearances took several months, and because the requirement surfaced early, the team started the process well ahead of site access, avoiding delays.
“Provision highlighted a critical requirement early in the project lifecycle. Having that visibility gave us the time needed to complete the clearance process and maintain project readiness.”

“Once you see what Provision can do, you do not want to go back.”
