About This Automation

Final account preparation pulls together contract records, variation orders, measured work, and subcontractor figures into one reconciled statement before a project can close.

The automated version gathers and reconciles the underlying figures, drafts the statement and supporting schedules, and sends the report for approval. This shortens the time between project completion and a signed-off final account.

Key features
Pull contract documents, variation orders, and measurement records into one place automatically
Reconcile measured work and subcontractor figures against agreed contract values
Calculate retention release and apply agreed adjustments without manual recalculation
Draft the final account statement and compile supporting schedules automatically
Format a client-ready report and route it for sign-off
Track client approval status and follow up until the account is signed

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Project Marked Practical Completiontrigger

Automation starts when a project's status changes to practical completion.

2. Reconcile Variations And Measurements

The reconciliation pulls variation orders, measured work, and subcontractor final accounts and checks them against contract values.

3. Review Discrepancy With QS

If figures do not balance, a surveyor reviews the flagged discrepancy directly in the reconciliation workbook.

4. Draft Final Account And Schedules

The drafting generates the final account statement and supporting schedules from the reconciled figures.

5. Save Draft

The draft and schedules are saved to the project folder for record keeping and version control.

6. Send Final Account

The final account report is emailed to the client for sign-off with the supporting schedules attached.

7. Log Final Account

Once sent, the final account value and retention release are logged against the project.
