Hi, this is part of the tender process to win a construction project. Could anyone advise on the "instruction technique" part?

Note that appraisal involves rather more than just examination. It also involves performing any necessary checks or research and producing a report.

Appraisal vs evaluation
Here is an example of differences, but note that the words are sometimes used in a less rigourous and more interchangeable way.
https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-public-finance-ma...
"Appraisal is normally the starting point for any proposal - but it is not a standard procedure. It is an ordered, but flexible, general approach to the analysis of proposals with implications for expenditure / use of resources. It should include not only economic analysis, but also other important information such as financing and/or human rights implications, arrangements for project management and plans for subsequent monitoring and evaluation. The principle of proportionality should be applied, so the scale of the appraisal will vary depending on the scale of the proposed project and its complexity, but an appraisal should normally include the following steps:
define the objectives;
consider a range of options;
identify, quantify and value the costs, benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with each option, including considerations of public private partnerships and the scope for shared services arrangements with other public bodies, optimism bias and distributional implications;
analyse the information;
decide what evaluation should be performed at a later stage; and
present the results.
....
"Evaluation examines the outturn of a project, programme or policy against its objectives. It adds value by providing lessons from experience to help future management or development of a specific project, programme or policy. Evaluation should be planned from the outset of the project, and should normally include the following steps:
establish exactly what is to be evaluated and how past outturns can be measured;
choose alternative states of the world and/or alternative management decisions as counterfactuals;
compare the actual outturn with the target outturn, and with the effects of the chosen alternative states of the world and/or management decisions;
draw up the results and recommendations; and
disseminate and use the results and recommendations."

Daryo
: or also "evaluation"

Thanks Daryo. No, an evaluation is about value for money. Note that this "instruction" is conducted before the financial bids are opened and is a technical appraisal..

Germaine
: although "technical evaluation" (which is not about money!) is a lot more usual (73,000 ghits vs 810)

Thanks Germaine. Yes, having looked at this further, I think both terms are used. There may also be a UK:US difference.

Chakib Roula
: Evaluation would also fit.

Eliza Hall
: Yep. And this is a legal question more than a construction one (it's about construction contract law terminology, not construction terminology).

Thanks Eliza. It's a bit borderline, but these appraisals are done by surveyors or engineers, without any lawyers being involved. So, I think it's rather more construction management than legal.
