Look for the dates tied to the work done, approvals, and submission of the claim. Check the correspondence and project timelines. Extract these dates and compare them against your contract obligations to make sure they're documented correctly.
Key points
- Identify dates of work completion.
- Check for approval dates.
- Review submission dates of the claim.
Go through the variation claim document and pull out any dates mentioned in the text or in attached correspondence. Pay attention to any commitments made by the contractor or responses from the principal, as these often indicate key milestones.
