The manual recovery drag
Worked example: at £45/hour commercial time, a 6-13 hour manual build-up is £270-£585 per event before you even account for missed records, weak substantiation or payment delay.
Track EWNs, build compensation events, price the cost build-up, defend entitlement and manage recovery through to payment.
Subcontractors often already have the facts, labour, plant, instructions and site records.
The hard part is turning them into clear, priced and defensible CE / VO submissions quickly enough to avoid discounting, rejection or delay.
The longer it takes to turn site records into a clear, priced and defensible submission, the easier it becomes for recoverable value to be missed, diluted, delayed or forgotten.

These are simple calculations, not promises. But they show why stronger records, quicker submissions and proper payment follow-through matter.
Commercial Co-Pilot helps subcontractors move faster from site issue to priced submission, then keeps submitted, unpaid and overdue value visible until it is recovered.
Commercial Co-Pilot keeps each step connected from the first site issue through to recovery.
Not generic project management. A focused system for notices, events, entitlement, cost support, submissions and payment.
Never miss a notice or lose track of early warning issues.
Track every event from first record through to submission and agreement.
Build auditable labour, plant, material, subcontract and prelims cost support.
Structure NEC and JCT arguments around entitlement, causation and assessment.
Prepare responses to the common reasons submissions are challenged, rejected or discounted.
Track submitted, agreed, unpaid and overdue value.
A modern commercial control workspace for EWNs, CEs, submission packs, pushback and payment recovery.
The original basis for the subcontract works involved a planned sequence supported by agreed access, labour and plant.
The event changed that basis. The submission links the instruction, site records, cost build-up and contractual position into one recoverable pack.
Commercial Co-Pilot is designed around site records, notices, compensation events, variations, evidence, entitlement, cost build-ups, commercial recovery and payment.
Track notices. Build stronger submissions. Recover more.
