Tired of variations turning into a headache? Let's talk about the cure. 🛠️➡️✅

There’s nothing like a site visit to a great project here in Wellington to really nut out a variation. It’s all in the details—understanding the change, the impact, and crucially, how to present it.

That’s where many subbies get caught out. A variation isn’t just about the extra work; it’s about the paperwork, the substantiation, and getting it aligned with the head contract so it gets approved without a fuss.

At WQS Consultants, we’ve been in the main contractor’s shoes. We know exactly what they need to see to approve your claim swiftly. We use that insider knowledge to become your strongest advocate.

We specialise in:
✅ Compiling detailed, bulletproof Claims for Variation that speak the main contractor's language.
✅ Providing full substantiation with measured quantities, supporting photos, and clear references to the contract.
✅ Ensuring your claim is principled and justified, maximising your chance of approval and protecting your margin.

Stop leaving money on the table and start getting your variations approved smoothly.
