Payment certification and change control provides the formal commercial oversight needed to ensure contractors are paid accurately, change is properly managed and the client's financial position is protected - providing an independent check on every financial decision made during construction.
The approach is rigorous, independent and commercially protective, ensuring that every payment is properly certified and every change is assessed before it is agreed.
The result is accurate contractor payments, a controlled change account and a clear financial audit trail from contract award to practical completion.
Typical involvement includes reviewing contractor applications, certifying payments, assessing variations and maintaining change control records throughout the construction programme.
Reviewing applications and issuing or recommending payment certificates.
Independent assessment of contractor interim valuations.
Formal management of variation instructions and change events.
Assessment of the financial impact of variations and change.
Maintaining a structured record of all change events and their status.
Payment and change reports for client, funder and governance use.
