Cost data & leakage recovery for construction
We put a redline through costs that shouldn't be there.
Redline Reclaim goes through your project's cost data — variations, day-work, subcontractor billing, retentions — to find money that's leaked through inefficiency, error, or overbilling, and helps you get it back. Auditing the figures is how we do it; recovering what's yours is the point.
Illustrative example
The problem
Cost leakage doesn't announce itself.
It sits inside cost data that looks routine — spread across variations, day-work sheets, and subcontractor accounts. On its own, each line looks reasonable. It's only when someone goes through it systematically that the pattern shows up.
Variations & change orders
Instructed changes that were never formally priced, approved, or reconciled against the final account.
Day-work & labour claims
Hours and plant claimed on a time-and-materials basis without records that actually support the claim.
Duplicate & overlapping billing
The same work claimed more than once across subcontractor packages or across valuation cycles.
Retention & final accounts
Retention released early, calculated on the wrong basis, or never chased down once practical completion passed.
The process
Four steps, starting with a conversation — not a commitment.
Nothing gets reviewed until we've talked through your project and agreed it's worth doing.
Scoping call
We talk through your project, what cost data exists, and give you an honest view on whether it's likely worth taking further.
Document & data review
You share the relevant records — valuations, variation instructions, subcontractor accounts — and we work through them in detail.
Our Methodology
Financial audit discipline, applied to construction cost data. Redline Reclaim combines reconciliation methodology from institutional finance with the engineering to run it at volume. The approach is the same one used to control cash across systems that never fully agree, applied to the documents behind every construction cost.
