Duplicate, unclear, out-of-scope or commercially weak items are challenged before commitment.

02

Variation defence

Extra work is checked against the agreed scope and supported by written approval and technical evidence.

03

Invoice verification

Payment assessment is aligned with verified quantities, progress and accepted completion.
