Predominantly via Subcontractor / Supplier Operations Risk Reviews which is where your claim commences before the workface, followed by all our other Quantity Surveyor Services when required. This solution goes well beyond the normal reaction of engaging professional or legal consultant's advice to claw back uncertain payment at an exorbitant cost, compared with being initially proactive with your payment or set-off claim at a fraction of the cost. The "3 measures one cut" maxim learnt as an apprentice carpenter stays within one throughout a career to minimise risk proactively. Therefore, existing current methods for supporting payment or set-off claims, needs to be initially looked at in terms of efficiency within a client's existing hard copy & electronic systems, including any losses occurring, i.e. "a good tradesperson never blames their tools unless they're redundant, outdated or uncompetitive and need replacing". We then critically improve your existing hard copy & electronic reporting "Client Templates" to accurately & efficiently collect, protect, maximise returns and report your claim data to enable you to support your current & future unpaid valid payment or set-off claims. Our recommended Pre & Post Contract Risk SWOT Analysis offers you an internal quantity surveyor working with you daily identifying your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats throughout your business operations to payment. For existing unpaid valid payment or set-off claims, we Coefficiently review strategic options for your probable costs & time for debt recovery, and we then provide relevant claim preparation support from Debt Recovery Negotiation, Adjudication Amounts or Subcontractors Charges through to Litigation Support.
