Questions from construction subcontractors
Which subcontractors is this for?
Construction firms delivering a package of work for a main contractor, such as earthworks, concrete or drainage. It is useful when payment depends on measured quantities and you need a clear record of what your crew completed.
What happens when our measurement differs from the main contractor's?
Open the recorded quantity and its supporting detail for the relevant work. Your team can review the difference with the main contractor's quantity surveyor, using the location, date and evidence behind the entry.
Can we record materials the main contractor supplies?
Yes. Keep delivery and material-use records with the project. Compare those entries when the supplied and used quantities differ or a charge needs checking.
Can we check charges for rented machines and fuel?
Keep machine-hour and fuel records for the work. When a statement arrives, use those entries to identify which charges need a closer look.
We work on several sites. Can the records stay separate?
Yes. Records are organised by project, so your team can review the work and costs for each job before preparing its claim.
