Variation orders and NEC compensation events kept under control.
We turn instructions, emails, marked-up drawings and site photos into JCT variation or NEC compensation event notices and prices before the trail goes cold.
JCT and NEC · Clear variation list · No jargon
The work moves today. The paperwork gets left until later.
That gap is where otherwise valid change becomes difficult to recover. People move projects, records disappear and the reason for additional labour, plant or time becomes harder to demonstrate.
We create a live route from instruction to submission and keep the unanswered issues visible before they disappear into the final account.
Four connected parts of every submission.
A price alone rarely explains the commercial position. The strongest submissions connect the contract, facts, effect and valuation.
Cause
The instruction, event, late information, access issue or changed condition, supported by a dated chronology.
Entitlement
The contractual route, notice requirement and basis on which time or money is claimed.
Effect
The actual or forecast impact on sequence, resources, productivity, programme and cost.
Value
Transparent build-up using the applicable rates, quotations, records and contractual valuation rules.
The process changes. The need for evidence does not.
Variation and loss-and-expense control
- Instruction and authority review
- Notice and particulars requirements
- Valuation under contract rules
- Time-related cost narrative
- Variation and account schedule
Early warnings and compensation events
- Early-warning and risk-reduction records
- Notification and time-bar review
- Quotation assumptions and programme effect
- Defined Cost or subcontract valuation support
- CE register and accepted-value tracking
Build the evidence before memory becomes the only source.
Not every item needs a long report, but every material change needs a reliable record and an owner.
A change register management can use.
- Single schedule of instructed, notified, priced, agreed and disputed change
- Contractual route and deadline against each material item
- Evidence status and missing-record actions
- Quotation or compensation-event submissions
- Reconciliation to applications, certificates and final account
- Escalation list for commercial meetings
Price the extras without the fog.
Can you recover changes that are already historic?
We can review the available records and identify the strongest route, but late reconstruction is always more difficult. The first task is a document and chronology audit so you understand both the opportunity and the evidential gaps.
Do you prepare delay analysis?
We can prepare the commercial chronology and work with programme information. Where specialist delay analysis or expert evidence is required, we will identify that early and coordinate with the appropriate specialist.
Can you attend change-control meetings?
Yes. Meeting attendance can be included within the monthly retainer where it helps progress decisions and maintain a reliable record.
Will you value both labour and time-related effects?
Yes, where the contract and evidence support the relevant heads of claim. The valuation method and assumptions are set out transparently.
