Knowledge
How do you document additional construction services?
Additional services get paid if you can prove what was not in the contract, who gave the instruction and what was actually carried out.
What to record immediately
Document on the day of the work, not only when there is a dispute.
- Date and area of the work
- Instruction from the client: letter, minutes, entry in the Bautagesbericht
- Photos before and after
- hours spent, material and equipment
- Reference to the contract clause that does not cover these services
Afterwards – the Nachtrag
On the basis of this documentation, the justification and calculation are prepared. The earlier the agreement, the lower the risk of rejection.
How it works in BauWalker
BauWalker brings together the documents of the construction project and creates the justification of the additional services.
