Claiming Variations Made Easy

Navigating the Maze of Contract Variations: Documentation is Your Compass

Estimating contract variations can feel like navigating a minefield – time-consuming, fraught with disputes, and often leading to costly litigation. Securing payment for variations hinges on one crucial element: impeccable documentation that leaves no room for argument.

It’s no secret that estimators command significant salaries, largely dedicated to the intricate task of unraveling and quantifying these changes.

So, how does Tek1 empower you to confidently claim contract variations when design drawings shift?

We understand firsthand the frustration of pursuing variation claims without bulletproof evidence. That’s why we developed a proprietary app – a game-changer for our clients. This isn’t a publicly available tool; it’s an exclusive advantage for those who partner with us on their projects.

Unlocking the Power of Real-Time Documentation

Our app revolutionizes the variation claim process by putting the power directly in the hands of those closest to the changes: the detailers.

Imagine this: As soon as a drawing change occurs, the detailer meticulously documents it within the app. This includes:

• Precise markups of the alterations on the drawings.
• Detailed reports of added or removed materials with quantities.
• Specific notes on additional work required, both in detailing and fabrication.
• A clear breakdown of the detailer’s associated costs.
• All this information compiled into a single line item, complete with supporting attachments.

Instantly, our clients gain access to this comprehensive documentation, alongside readily available Excel spreadsheets and PDF reports (with and without pricing).

Effortless Claiming for Our Clients

Claiming for variations becomes a streamlined process:

• Instant Access: All the necessary data is available at the click of a button. No more time wasted chasing information or sifting through emails.
• Transparent Costing: Our detailed breakdown provides a clear foundation for your claim.
• Simplified Upstream Process: Your team can easily integrate our costs, add your own material and labor expenses, and confidently present a well-supported variation claim. (While the final upstream process involves your specific procedures, our app provides the bedrock of information you need.)

The Undeniable Value of This Level of Reporting

Consider the tangible benefits our app delivers:

• Eliminate Time-Consuming Collation: No more hours spent gathering and organizing change-related information.
• Strengthen Justification: The detailed documentation speaks for itself, significantly reducing the potential for disputes.
• Instant Excel Reports: Generate comprehensive reports with a single click, ready for upstreaming with your added costs.

By providing this level of clarity and detail, Tek1 empowers our clients to claim variations accurately, efficiently, and with the confidence that comes from having indisputable documentation at their fingertips.
