Contracts, Variations & Claims Manager

Contract, Variation and Claims Management for Project-Based Industries

Protect the contract value from award to final account.

ProjectVIEW ERP is not a contract register beside the project. It is one integrated system where every instruction, notice and time bar is recorded and linked to the scope items, WBS activities and cost codes it affects, and priced from cost recipes and actual cost. Approved variations update the contract value, the client invoices and the company forecast at once. The BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure weaves site, project and company data into one consistent record, with the integrity that ProjectVIEW AI needs to give reliable forecasts, alerts and answers.

Projects change with markets, supply chains and weather: documented claims keep execution sustainable and stop the bleeding of money. Clients, owners, consultants, designers and insurers see the same records, and each closed claim becomes a precedent for the next contract.

What does a contracts and claims manager do in a project-based company?

A contracts, variations and claims manager protects the contract value from award to final account. In ProjectVIEW ERP, every variation, notice and claim is linked to the scope item (BoQ or BoM), as well as to the WBS and the cost codes it affects. Entitlement, cost and time effect are therefore supported by records, not by memory. It applies to construction and EPC contracts, shipbuilding and repair contracts, marine and offshore EPCI contracts, and also contract mining and manufacturing supply contracts.

  • Administer: track contract terms, notices, time bars and obligations with clients and also with subcontractors.
  • Value: then price variations and claims from the BoQ or BoM, cost recipes and actual costs.
  • Recover: finally, prepare the evidence for change orders, extensions of time and final accounts.

What is the real cost of this change?
Variations are priced from cost recipes and then checked against actual costs per cost code. Cost Control
04
Are subcontractor claims justified?
Subcontractor claims are checked against the contract and the certified quantities, as well as the payments. Subcontractors Management
05
What is the time effect?
Changes are linked to the schedule, so delay and disruption can be shown activity by activity. Integrations
06
Can AI help build the claim?
The Claims and Variations AI Agent collects the records linked to an event and then drafts a structured summary for review. Claims and Variations AI Agent

FAQ

FAQ: Contracts, Variations & Claims Manager

Talk to our expert

Questions about your role or your industry? Talk to a subject-matter expert who implements ProjectVIEW ERP.

What is the difference between a variation and a claim?

A variation is a change that is either instructed or agreed under the contract. In contrast, a claim is a request for additional time or money where entitlement is not yet agreed. ProjectVIEW ERP records both and also links them to the same cost structure.

Which contract types does ProjectVIEW ERP support?

Lump-sum, re-measured, cost-plus, EPC, FIDIC-based, as well as BOT or PPP contracts. The BoQ, WBS and cost codes structure works for all of them in the same way.

How does ProjectVIEW ERP help with time bars?

Notices and events are recorded with dates in the Common Data Environment, and then workflows remind the team of contractual deadlines.

Can a claim use documents from the CDE?

Yes, because instructions, notices, drawings and correspondence in the Common Data Environment are linked to the event, the scope items and the costs of the claim.

Which industries does this cover?

Construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, as well as project-based manufacturing. The same variation and claims logic also applies in each, whether the scope is a BoQ, a BoM or a work package.
