Pricing

Simple pricing. No surprise fees.

Straightforward variations stay straightforward. If a submission needs more detailed commercial, contractual or programme work, you'll know the price before any chargeable work starts.

Pricing FAQ

Is my first variation really free?

Yes. New clients can try one Standard Variation submission free of charge. If the submission falls outside the Standard scope, I'll review it first and confirm the price before doing any chargeable work.

What if I send something more complicated than a £49 variation?

I'll tell you before starting. More involved work may fall under Enhanced Variation, Delay & Disruption or a bespoke fixed fee. Nothing is automatically upgraded or charged.

What information do I need to send?

Send whatever you have - instruction, emails, WhatsApps, photos, dayworks, labour, plant, material costs or relevant contract information. I'll let you know if anything important is missing.

Can I send everything by WhatsApp?

Yes. The service is deliberately designed to be simple. Information can be sent through the site's enquiry process, email or WhatsApp.

Do you provide programme analysis?

Basic programme-impact narrative can be included where appropriate. Detailed programme comparison, concurrency analysis or EOT preparation falls under complex commercial support and will be quoted separately.

Can you help with rejected variations?

Yes. Straightforward responses may fall under Enhanced Variation. Larger disputes requiring substantial evidence or contractual analysis will be reviewed and quoted first.

Are there any long-term contracts?

No. Pay-as-you-go work has no ongoing commitment, and the monthly plan can be cancelled.

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. Straightforward submissions use the published prices. If something is more complex, you'll receive a fixed price before any chargeable work begins.

Got a change sitting in your WhatsApp chat?

Send it over. I'll tell you what it needs and what it will cost before anything chargeable starts.
