Construction Claims Register Guide
A live claims register gives commercial teams one view of events, notices, entitlement risks, documents and actions across active projects. This is general workflow guidance, not legal advice; always check the signed contract.
Track the fields that drive action
Include project, event, owner, trigger and notice dates, contract family, status, risk, days claimed, value claimed and the next required action.
Link the register to the record
Each entry should connect to the underlying event, evidence, analysis, correspondence and latest document version rather than becoming another disconnected spreadsheet.
Review it on a regular cadence
Use the register for weekly deadline reviews and monthly commercial reporting. Close or update stale actions and keep ownership explicit.
Turn the guidance into a controlled project record
ContractingClaims keeps sources, events, missing information, drafts and versions together for professional review.
