Our Solutions
Progress Claims

Contract Variations
The Plus 3 team also handles contract variations by documenting, pricing, and negotiating any changes to the original scope of work defined in a contract and manages any changes to the scope of work. Effective management of contract variations is crucial to ensuring that all parties agree on the changes and that contractors are fairly compensated for additional work or adjustments.

It helps to resolve discrepancies and ensure that all parties are satisfied.
Final Accounts Settlement
We can reconcile payments, claims, and variations, and any other financial transactions from the project to agree on the final amount that is due under the contract upon completion of the work. Plus 3 aims to reach mutually agreed settlements at contract close out.
Cost Audits
We conduct comprehensive audits of project incurred costs to ensure that they are accurate, reasonable, and in compliance with the contract terms. Cost audits help identify discrepancies and potential overcharges, whilst also reviewing the financial performance of the project.
