Variation claims can be contentious, costly, and confusing!

 

Inscope can provide professional assistance with variation reviews, calculations, and submissions.

 

All standard construction contracts include specific requirements for variation claims. Most variation disputes arise from failure to strictly comply with these requirements or properly substantiate the claim.

 

INSCOPE can help you avoid the drama by:

 

Assessing your entitlement to a variation order

 

INSCOPE will carefully review your contract to determine whether you are entitled to make a variation claim and identify any procedural requirements.

 

Compiling the necessary information

 

INSCOPE will ensure your claim conforms to the proper template, including

  • A clear outline of the work to be performed
  • Material and labour costings
  • Any supporting documentation, including emailed approvals, site instructions, and contractual clauses that support your claim.

 

Any supporting documentation, including emailed approvals, site instructions, and contractual clauses that support your claim.

Making a successful variation claim

Presentation, format, and language can be just as important as the information included in your claim. INSCOPE’s professional expertise can go a long way towards getting you paid.

 

Of course, it’s always better to minimise the need for variations from the outset by:

 

  • ensuring your tender is complete and comprehensive
  • identifying and allowing for relevant regulatory requirements
  • properly identifying the relevant risks and allowing for reasonably foreseeable problems
  • preparing accurate, detailed bills of quantities, drawings, and specifications
  • ensuring the contract defines the scope of works clearly and unambiguously.

 

If you need support in these areas, INSCOPE can help!
