Tips for My variations aren't being paid
My variations aren't being paid? Every tip we give on it, grouped by subject.
Tips
Getting the instruction
Put every instruction in writing: what was asked, who asked and when. Then check they had the power to ask, and how the change will be valued.
Recording the change
Keep dated records of each change as it happens, not pieced together months later.
Valuing the variation
Your subcontract sets the rules for valuing a change. Use them in order, and price everything the change touched.
Getting it paid
A valued variation still has to get through the payment cycle before it is money in the bank.
