## Further detail

Read this alongside [section 110A of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996](<https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/53/section/110A>).

The contract's payment mechanism identifies who gives the notice, which sum it addresses and when it is required. The notice states the sum considered due and the basis of calculation. Under the applicable legislation, this obligation can apply even where the sum considered due is zero.

Check the notice against the relevant cycle and terms. Our [Subcontract payment assessments](<https://www.quantsurv.com/quantity-surveying?service=%2Fquantity-surveying%2Fpayment-applications-valuations#client-types>) service supports the assessed sum and calculation. An [Underpayment recovery](<https://www.quantsurv.com/claims?service=%2Funderpaid%2Fservices%2Funderpayment-recovery#client-types>) addresses a contested reduction or notice position.
