We’ll help you understand what work stage, item, change or project component the claim or variation appears to cover.
We’ll compare the claim or variation with the scope, quote, correspondence, photos and other information you provide.
We’ll flag descriptions, amounts, quantities, stages, credits or additions that are difficult to understand from the supplied information.
We’ll suggest practical questions about what work was completed, why a variation arose, what supports an amount, or how an item relates to the agreed scope.
We’ll point out construction, timing or sequencing issues that may be worth checking before you respond.
