Payment applications that show the full value of your work.
We measure completed work, include variations and put the backup together so the main contractor can clearly assess what your subcontract business should be paid.

Submitting a number is not the same as proving value.
A strong application follows the payment mechanism, shows measured progress, separates change and gives the assessor a clean route through the evidence.
Where the application is late, inconsistent with the contract or unsupported, the discussion quickly shifts away from the work completed. We help keep the focus on entitlement and value.
Timing and format
Due dates, valuation dates, required format and submission route checked against the actual contract.
Measurement and evidence
Progress, materials, variations and other entitlements tied to records the assessor can follow.
Certification response
Differences identified promptly and carried into a structured challenge or the next application.
Control every step, not only submission day.
Exact dates and rights depend on the contract. We map the relevant cycle and turn it into a practical project calendar.
Value

Include applications in my retainerPayment support in practice.
Can you prepare applications in our existing template?
Yes. We can work with the employer or main contractor format, your internal workbook or a clearer schedule agreed for the project.
What records will you need?
Typically the contract, pricing document, previous applications and certificates, progress records, change schedule, relevant drawings, delivery records and current programme information.
Can you review an under-certified application?
Yes. We can reconcile the assessment, identify the reasons given, test them against the contract and records, and recommend the next commercial step.
Are payment applications included in the monthly retainer?
Yes. Regular application and certification control is a core workstream within the monthly retainer and is generally more effective than reviewing individual cycles in isolation.
