For UK construction contracts

Read between the clauses.

GroundWork extracts the key commercial terms and surfaces the risks buried in your construction contracts — each finding linked back to the exact clause it came from.

How it works

PDF or DOCX, up to 15MB. Most contracts are analysed in under 30 seconds.

Three steps to a clearer contract

No setup. No templates. Just upload and read.

Step 01
Upload your contract
Drag in a PDF or DOCX — framework agreement, sub-contract, or standalone works contract.
Step 02
We extract what matters
Parties, payment terms, programme, liability caps, termination rights — pulled out cleanly.
Step 03
See the risks, not the boilerplate
Asymmetric remedies, pay-when-paid, hidden carve-outs — each flagged with the source clause.

Built for UK construction

Tuned for JCT, NEC, and bespoke framework agreements — the kind of contracts your team actually signs. Aware of UK-specific concerns like pay-when-paid prohibitions and Construction Act compliance.

Every finding traceable

Risk flags and key terms link straight back to the originating clause, so you can verify, quote, and negotiate without scrolling through fifty pages.

Calibrated risk detection

Catches the obvious (uncapped liability, indemnity overreach) and the subtle (asymmetric remedies, indirect-loss carve-outs, aggressive termination triggers).

Ask follow-up questions

Once a contract is analysed, ask anything — payment timeline, what happens on delay, whether a clause is enforceable. Answers cite the contract.

Your contracts stay in the UK.

Built for documents you can't paste into ChatGPT.

Data residency

UK data residency

Contracts are processed and stored on UK-based infrastructure. Your documents never leave the UK.

Compliance

UK GDPR compliant

We process contract data under UK GDPR. No training on your documents, no sharing with third parties, deletion on request.

Purpose-built

Not a general-purpose chatbot

Pasting a contract into ChatGPT or a consumer AI sends commercially sensitive terms — and personal data — to US servers with no contractual protection. GroundWork is purpose-built so you don't have to.
