Process labour claims fast
- Simplify how you verify & approve subcontract labour applications
- Easily identify if subcontractors are over-booking & eliminate overpaying
- Review real-time labour reports & always know any deviation from budget
Does this sound familiar?
- It's often not clear what works are being claimed for. There are many fact-finding conversations.
- We receive labour claims in many formats, which makes them hard to collate and cross-check.
- It's hard to keep track of dayworks and variations.
Yes? Chalkstring can help!
How it works
Input labour claim
Issue your labour bill to your subcontractor and ask them to fill in the completed measures and/or time. On receipt, add the claim to Chalkstring.
Review against progress
Chalkstring automatically cross-checks the claim against both the rates & measures in the live project scope and the recorded progress.
Subcontractor labour tracking
Another way to process labour claims is to mark up progress on a drawing using our Takeoff tool. Simply assign it to your subcontractor or operative.
Approve or investigate claim
Easily identify if the subcontractor claim can be approved and paid. Or, establish whether you need to investigate overbooking or a claim error.
