VariationFlow

For groundworks and civils contractors

Unforeseen ground, fully accounted for.

Groundworks meet the unknowns first: obstructions, soft spots, services that are not on any drawing. Much of it is done on dayworks, and on an NEC4 subcontract much of it is a compensation event with a notice period running from the day you find it.

Where the money goes on a groundworks package

Obstructions and unforeseen ground

Extra dig, extra muck away and extra stone, all recoverable if they are recorded when they are found.

Dayworks sheets that go missing

Signed by a site manager who has since left, or never signed at all.

Notice periods that run out

On an NEC4 subcontract a compensation event must be notified within seven weeks of becoming aware of it, and often less where Z clauses shorten it. Miss it and the claim is lost.

How VariationFlow handles it

  • 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.

  • Compensation event clocks

    The notification bar, the quotation and the reply run on each event, on your subcontract's own periods, with alerts before they close.

  • A site diary in two minutes a day

    Weather, labour, work done and delays, exported as the contemporaneous record adjudicators trust.

  • Capture it in the trench

    Raise it from the phone app with photos and the grid reference, with or without signal.

Contract Deadlines: overdue, opportunity and critical notices across projects, most urgent first
