We protect your commercial position from tender to final account. Every variation captured. Every notice served. Every payment application bulletproof.
Twelve disciplines, grouped into four clusters: pre-contract, live administration, payment defence, and final account. Each cluster delivered by chartered RICS personnel.
Catch the unenforceable clause before it's signed. Most commercial damage on a UK subcontract happens in the seven days before the contract is executed — not the 24 months after.
Variations are won or lost in the first 72 hours after the instruction. We capture, value, and serve the notice within the contract window — every time.
The Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act gives you statutory payment rights. Most subcontractors don't enforce them. We run the notice regime as your shadow.
The final account is settled at the rate your records support. We arrive at month one with the substantiation already in place — not month 26 hoping to reconstruct it.
Same package, same value, same main contractor. One running with embedded commercial protection from day one, one without. The financial gap at final account is consistently in the £200K – £500K range.
From your first call to your first month of operation. We can compress to two weeks for emergency intervention; standard mobilisation is three weeks.
We review the executed subcontract, the current programme baseline, the existing records (or lack thereof), and any live variation/notice positions. Output is a written red-flag report — what's safe, what's exposed, what needs immediate action.
We deploy the daily site report template, the photographic protocol, the EWN tracker, the variation register, the document-control flow. We train your site team — typically one PM, two engineers, one document controller — on capture discipline before the next reporting day begins.
Daily review of site report by 18:00. Notice drafting within 24 hours of trigger events. Variation valuation in parallel with capture. Monthly interim application preparation. Weekly progress meeting attendance. Adjudication-ready records logged throughout.
Final account submission package — full evidence library, variation valuations, notice trail, programme analysis, retention application. Scott Schedule prepared in parallel and held ready. Negotiation lead with main contractor's QS or commercial director until settlement.
Contract and programme review with a chartered partner. We tell you what we'd do differently — whether you hire us or not. Specifically for your live commercial position.
