Modules

One system for the commercial side of every job.

Every variation, from the first photo to payment

  • Ten stages from potential to paid, each one timestamped
  • Forward a site email and it lands as a draft variation, with the email filed as evidence
  • Alerts at 28 and 42 days on anything still waiting for an instruction

How it works

Site and office, finally looking at the same job.

The person who saw the change records it. The person who gets it paid sees it the same minute. Nobody retypes a WhatsApp photo into a spreadsheet.

On site

Record it before you leave the area

Photos, location, a voice note and who asked for it, saved on the phone when there is no signal and in your crew’s own language.

In the office

Price it, send it, chase it

Your QS prices the variation, sends it for instruction and sees every one that is ageing. Certified valuations go to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks as sales invoices.

Work out your own ROI

What is variation leakage costing you?

No inflated headline number. Put in your own figures and see the maths, line by line, against the plan’s real price.

How the sum works
Your numbers
£2,000,000

Your yearly turnover.

2%

Share of turnover exposed to under-claimed or untracked variations. The Get It Right Initiative puts the direct cost of avoidable error at around 5% of project value. That covers every kind of error, not only variations, so the default is lower.

40%

How much of that at-risk value better evidence, ageing alerts and one-click instruction help you actually recover. An assumption: set it to whatever you'd believe.

Illustrative, from figures you set. Not a guarantee. Benchmark: the Get It Right Initiative puts the direct cost of avoidable error at around 5% of project value, and the total at 10 to 25% with indirect costs. That is a cost of error, not revenue you can recover.
