Case studies

Recoveries backed by contemporaneous records.

Real, anonymised examples of Site Chronicle records supporting subcontractor valuations, certification and instructed works on live UK projects. Company, project and client details are anonymised, and the records supported (but did not by themselves determine) the outcomes described.

CASE 01 · CERTIFICATION SHORTFALLANONYMISED

UK civil engineering subcontractor

Live UK infrastructure project

£300,000

Increase in the certified amount

ONE WEEK — CONTEMPORANEOUS RECORDS SUPPLIED
~10 MIN — EVIDENCE ISSUED → CERTIFICATE REVISED

An interim application of ~£1.5m was initially certified at ~£1.2m. One week of contemporaneous diaries (labour, plant and progress recorded as the work happened) supported the valuation, and the certificate was revised to ~£1.5m. The diaries did not replace the contractual valuation; they gave the commercial team an immediate, structured record to support the amount applied for.

CASE 02 · INSTRUCTED WORKSANONYMISED

UK civil engineering subcontractor

Live UK construction project

£350,000

Additional instructed work claimed and paid

12 WEEKS — OF ADDITIONAL WORK RECORDED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY
EVERY HOUR — CAPTURED AGAINST THE INSTRUCTED ACTIVITIES

Additional work was raised on site with no instruction reference. Because Site Chronicle requires instructed work to be linked to an instruction, the site team flagged the gap, and the commercial team secured the instruction before the work accumulated. The next ~12 weeks were recorded against it: activities, labour, plant and every hour, on client-signed daily records. ~£350,000 was claimed and paid in full. The records supported the valuation but did not, by themselves, determine contractual entitlement.
