M&E Contractors
Track staged applications across mechanical and electrical packages, from first fix through to commissioning and final account.
The problem
M&E payment doesn't follow a single straight line.
Mechanical and electrical packages are claimed in stages, and each stage carries its own commercial risk.
Staged claims
First fix, second fix, testing and commissioning all get claimed separately, often months apart.
Variations pile up
Design changes and coordination clashes generate variations that are easy to lose track of against the original claim.
Commissioning delays
Final account often waits on commissioning sign-off, which can stall payment long after the physical work is done.
Notices across stages
Each stage can carry its own notice deadline, multiplying the number of dates to track.
Stage by stage
Keep every claim stage under the same contract.
First fix, second fix and commissioning applications all sit under one contract record, so the full commercial picture for a package stays together rather than scattered across separate files.
One contract, every stage
Track first fix, second fix and commissioning claims against the same package.
Context kept with the claim
Use the application notes and values to keep stage-specific commercial context with the right claim.
Retention held until sign-off
See retention held pending commissioning, without losing sight of what's already been paid.
