For dry lining and ceiling contractors

Board changes, bulkheads, and the money for both.

Dry lining sits in the middle of everyone else's changes. A fire-rating upgrade, an extra bulkhead for services that moved, a partition set out again after a revision. Each one is real work, and each one is easy to lose once the boards are up.

Where the money goes on a dry lining package

Specification changes mid-install

A partition goes from a standard board to a fire-rated or acoustic system after you have priced and ordered. The difference is yours only if it is recorded.

Other trades' changes land on you

Services re-routed after first fix mean new bulkheads, access panels and patching. The cause is someone else's, and the cost is yours unless you capture it.

Evidence that gets boarded over

Once the joints are taped and the walls are painted, nobody can see what changed or when.

How VariationFlow handles it

  • Photograph it before it closes

    Capture from the phone app with photos and the grid reference before the boards go on, so the record survives the finishes.

  • Dayworks signed on the day

    Record labour, plant and materials for work done on a daywork basis as a signed allocation, so the backup is already there when you value it.

  • Every deadline on one screen

    Where your contract sets notice periods, the clock runs on the variation, and Contract Deadlines lists every one across every project, most urgent first.

  • Instruction in one click

    Submitting sends the instruction request. The main contractor's QS answers from a secure link without an account, and the register updates itself.
