The Clauses That Kill Construction Margins

Every tender has traps. Here's what TenderScan DE catches that your team might miss.

78%

of tenders have excessive LDs

Killer LD Clauses

Liquidated damages of 0.5% per day buried on page 127. Miss it and your entire margin evaporates.

$280K LD on a $1.8M project = 15% margin gone

65%

of projects miss first milestone

Impossible Milestones

30 days for foundation when weather alone takes 45. Unrealistic timelines set you up to fail.

Milestone 3: Complete structure in 60 days (impossible)

$500K

average locked capital per project

Cash Flow Killers

10% retention for 3 years. 90-day payment terms. Your working capital locked forever.

$180K retention on a $1.8M project for 36 months

23%

of PBGs face encashment threats

EMD/PBG Traps

Performance guarantees with vague forfeiture clauses. One dispute and your bank guarantee is gone.

10% PBG encashable 'at sole discretion of employer'

40%

of variations disputed

Variation Order Nightmares

No pre-approval clause. Do the work first, fight for payment later. Classic contractor trap.

'Variations only payable if pre-approved in writing'

92%

of contracts favor the client

One-Sided Risk Allocation

All risk on contractor. Force majeure limited. No extension of time for client delays.

'Contractor bears all unforeseen site conditions'

"TenderScan DE caught a $280K LD clause buried on page 127 of a highway tender. The daily penalty rate would have wiped out our entire margin. That single find paid for 10 years of subscription."

"We ran a subcontract through TenderScan DE and discovered a back-to-back retention clause — 10% held for 5 years until main contractor gets paid. Would have killed our cash flow on a $1.4M job."
