Speed up valuations

  • Record live progress onsite & download detailed reports for substantiation
  • Produce valuations instantly, including accrued costs, work in progress & variations
  • Generate applications for payment in one click, including all materials onsite 

    Does this
    sound familiar?

    • We double handle information. We walk the site, highlighting progress on drawings. We then have to transfer this to our spreadsheets. It's easy to make mistakes.
    • Calculating the value works completed is manual. Most valuations are 'there' or 'thereabouts', instead of being 100% accurate. It's also hard to project forward.
    • Our applications for payment are not based on robust data. We sometime create applications based on the costs we need to cover, instead of the actual works completed.

    “We produce accurate applications for payment. Recording progress is much quicker, as Chalkstring calculates the value of the work done automatically, as we log the works done. Once the valuation has been sense checked, Chalkstring generates the application for payment.”
