FICTIONAL DAYWORKS DEMO
See the commercial trail before using it on a live job.
This example uses invented project names, values and statuses. It shows how a subcontractor can move from a daywork record to a saved project, group supporting dayworks into a variation, then keep the application, certification and payment position visible.
FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Riverside Fit-Out
Client: Northbank Main Contractors · Subcontract ref: RIV-MEP-042
Recorded daywork value£4,5503 saved dayworks
Capture the daywork.
The free sheet records instruction details, labour, plant, materials, percentage additions and a site acknowledgement/signature, then prints or saves as PDF.
Try the free sheet →Keep the value and evidence visible.
Carry the reviewed summary into a saved project. On Pro, keep up to five private PDF or photo files with each saved daywork while you move it through the commercial status you use.
Open the saved workspace →Link the variation.
Signed-in Free can save one live variation and one payment application at a time to prove the chain. Pro keeps more live records, private evidence and Payment Schedule across projects.
See the fictional variation →Keep the payment position moving.
Record the figures and dates you actually receive, then keep the assessment difference, retention review date and next action beside the same application. Pro can optionally email the account holder about those user-entered dates.
