How Our Services Work

Services for Subcontractors


Commercial Health Check for Subcontractors
$0.00

Find out where your commercial side is costing you.


A one-off, in-depth look at how your business handles the commercial side: variations, payment claims, contracts, retentions and job costs. I go through your current jobs and paperwork, find where money is slipping through, and sit down with you in person to walk through what I found and what to do about it.


Monthly Commercial Retainer
$0.00

Ongoing commercial support, without the full commitment.


For subbies who want the core commercial work handled every month. I take care of your variations and payment claims, keep an eye on your contracts and costs, and I’m on the end of the phone when something comes up. Also includes a few estimates a month.

Rates are based on number of projects, value of your works, and long-term customer discounts. Any works past the contracted amount will be subject to One-Off Task rates, with any long-term customer discounts applied.


Outsourced Commercial Team
$0.00

Your whole commercial side, owned and run.


For busy and growing subbies who want the commercial function taken off their plate completely. I don’t just do tasks; I run the commercial side of your business, from contract to final account, and keep you across what matters.

Services for Main Contractors


Commercial Health Check for Builders
$0.00

A clear view of the commercial risk across your projects.


A one-off, in-depth review of how your business manages the commercial side of its projects: subcontractor claims and variations, payment schedules, head contract claims and cost reporting. I review your current projects and processes, identify where cost and risk are going unmanaged, and meet with you in person to walk through the findings and recommended next steps.


Tender and Project Subcontractor Management
$0.00

Control of your subcontractors, from tender to final account.


Managing a full set of subcontractors takes time and commercial know-how. SureSpec manages the subcontract side of your projects, from pricing through to close-out, so your trades are priced, contracted, claimed and paid properly.

At tender

  • Subcontractor quotes sought, compared and levelled.

  • Scope gaps, exclusions and qualifications identified.

  • Recommendations to support your tender price.

During the project

  • Subcontractor claims and variations assessed accurately and on time.

  • Payment schedules issued correctly under the Construction Contracts Act, with clear reasons where amounts differ.

  • Subcontract cost reporting across the project.

  • Subcontractor final accounts closed out.

I’ve spent years preparing claims and variations on the subcontractor side. I know what a sound claim looks like and where to look when one doesn’t add up.
