Payment claim preparation

Make the claim clear.

We organise the work claimed, the contractual entitlement, the calculation and the supporting records. The review includes previous claims, payments, credits, retention and GST so that the outstanding amount can be followed.

Variations and valuation.

For disputed additional work, we examine instructions, notices, correspondence, site records and the contractual valuation provisions. We distinguish the work performed from the evidence needed to establish entitlement and value.

Prepare for the next stage.

A well-organised payment claim creates a clear record for assessment, discussion and any later adjudication. We review the applicable legislation and service requirements for the project location.

Documents to provide.

• Contract, subcontract, purchase order and amendments.
• Scope, drawings, rates and pricing schedules.
• Progress claims, certificates and payment history.
• Variation instructions, notices and correspondence.
• Measurements, photographs and relevant site records.
