The instruction might be verbal, emailed or buried in a message while the programme keeps moving.
CERTKEEP DAYWORKS
Keep extra work visible from the site record to the money.
For small UK subcontractors who are tired of reconstructing dayworks and variations weeks later. Record the detail while it is fresh, then give the office a linked trail it can follow without chasing site for the story again.
No sales call. Public daywork and variation tools need no account. Saved Dayworks starts free. Testing it on a real job? Email Aidan what gets in the way.
THE SITE-TO-COMMERCIAL GAP
The work is obvious on site. Commercial hears about it when the valuation is due.
The work gets done.
Labour, plant and materials are real, but the supporting detail is easiest to lose at exactly this point.
The handoff breaks.
Site has the context; the office needs the instruction, daywork record, value, current status and next action. Rebuilding that trail weeks later wastes time and makes the commercial position harder to defend.
Capture the daywork.
The free browser tool records instruction details, labour, plant, materials, evidence references, percentage additions and a site acknowledgement/signature, then prints or saves as PDF.
Open the free daywork sheet →Keep the value and evidence visible.
Signed-in Dayworks stores the project, daywork number/date, instruction reference, description, recorded value and commercial status. Pro can attach up to five private PDFs or photos to each saved daywork.
Open the saved register →Track the variation position.
The free browser register handles one-off variation tracking, and signed-in Free can save one live variation against the project. Pro keeps more live variations and private evidence together.
Open saved variations →Track the application and payment.
Signed-in Free can save one payment application at a time and link it to the saved variation. Pro keeps more live applications, adds Payment Schedule and private evidence, and scales the follow-up across projects.

Your records, your commercial decisions.
CertKeep records the information and statuses you enter. It does not decide whether work was validly instructed, whether a variation exists, which contractual rates or additions apply, calculate payment dates, create contractual applications or notices, or decide whether payment is legally due. Keep the underlying contract, instruction and evidence required by your own commercial process.
Sharing and export details
Evidence packs download to your device for you to review and share. External approval links are not available. A printed summary does not embed attachments or become a contractual document.
START WITH THE WORK YOU ALREADY HAVE
Try one real daywork before changing anything else.
Create the sheet, keep the value in the saved register, and see whether the workflow makes the next valuation easier to control.
