Prepare clear, professional compensation event quotations with a structured workflow — built to speed up the agreement of change on your project.
Free Sign UpTired of every CE quotation looking different depending on who wrote it? Follow one structured template from notification through to priced quotation.
Record the compensation event reference, clause, and a clear description of what's changed.
Break the change into Defined Cost categories — people, plant, materials — with time and cost impact laid out clause by clause.
Generate a formatted quotation document ready to issue to the Project Manager, with your assessment clearly shown.
A consistent format that holds up whoever on the team is preparing it.
Structured around the Defined Cost categories NEC contracts expect, not a generic invoice template.
Show the effect on Prices and Completion together, so the Project Manager sees the full picture in one document.
Every quotation follows the same structure, whoever on the team prepared it — useful when a PM reviews several from your team.
A clear, well-evidenced quotation is easier to agree quickly, with fewer rounds of queries back and forth.
The same template works whether you're on Option A, C, or another main option — just the pricing basis changes.
Keep a clear record of what was quoted and why, useful if the compensation event is later disputed.
Track every compensation event from notification through to agreement.
