Drawings are late and areas aren't ready, so my gangs can't work

Drawings turn up after the work needs them. An area isn't ready, or another trade is in the space you were promised. Often nobody gives an instruction at all. Your gangs, plant and sequence take the hit, and that effect needs recording while it can still be seen.

Your subcontract may give you a route to be paid for late information, access or possession. But the notice, the cause, the programme and the value are four separate questions. Each needs its own facts: what you asked for, when it was due, what arrived, where the team could work and what it did instead.

Leave it, and the cost disappears into your labour account. A claim rebuilt from memory months later is far easier to knock down. A short log kept as it happens ties each site event to the drawings, emails, access records and resources. It supports a later claim. It does not decide the delay, whether you are owed the money or how much.

Log each event as it happens: what was needed, when it was due, what arrived, the activity it hit and what your gang did instead. Send the notice your subcontract requires, by the route it names. A late information tracker and an access log hold those facts, one row per event.

Delay & Disruption Loss Prevention sets that routine up on your site, with a same-day route from the site team to whoever sends notices. If the cost has already built up, Delay & Disruption Claim values it from the logs and your allocation sheets. We do not assess the effect on the programme. That stays with whoever assesses time.
