Payment Application Workflow for Construction Quantity Surveyors
BuildQS helps quantity surveyors deliver monthly payment applications faster with automatic calculations, clearer variation tracking, and better visibility of retention positions.
Where QS Teams Lose Time
- Repeated manual checks — Cumulative claim values are rechecked each cycle when spreadsheets are unreliable.
- Variation visibility issues — Scope changes are often mixed into base lines, making claim narratives harder to defend.
- Retention context is split — Retention held and release timing is tracked outside the main claim workflow.
- Submission history is fragmented — Teams lack a single timeline from draft to approved status.
How BuildQS Supports Quantity Surveyors
- Automatic Calculations for period values, cumulative totals, and net due.
- Variations Tracking to separate variation lines from base contract scope.
- Retention Management with release schedule support and reminders.
- Approval Workflows for shared draft, submitted, approved, and paid status.
- PDF and CSV Export for client-ready submission outputs.
