Services
We go through your project's cost data, find what's costing you money, and help you get it back.
Redline Reclaim goes through the paperwork behind a construction project — variations, day-work, subcontractor accounts, retentions — and checks it against what was actually instructed, approved, and delivered. A structured review of the figures is how we do it; recovering what's been lost is what it's for.
What we look at
Six places money commonly goes missing.
These are the areas we focus on first — not because leakage is guaranteed in every one, but because they're where it most often hides.
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.
Preliminaries & overheads
Site set-up and running costs charged for longer than the project actually required, or duplicated across packages.
Design & spec discrepancies
Work billed against an earlier specification that was later downgraded or removed, with the cost never adjusted.
How it works
Four steps, in order.
Each step depends on the last — you're not committed to anything beyond the scoping call until you decide to be.
Scoping call
A short conversation about your project — size, structure, what cost data exists. We give you an honest view on whether it's likely worth taking further before anything is agreed.
Document & data review
You share the relevant records — interim valuations, variation instructions, subcontractor accounts, correspondence — and we work through them systematically.
Leakage identification & verification
Every flagged item is checked against what was actually instructed, approved, and delivered — not just marked as suspicious and left there.
Findings report
You receive a clear, evidenced write-up of what we found, what it's worth, and what we'd recommend doing about each item — so the decision on next steps stays with you.
Before you enquire
What we'd typically ask for
You don't need any of this ready before your first conversation — this is just what a review usually draws on once we get going, so there are no surprises.
- → Interim valuations and payment applications
- → Variation instructions and related correspondence
- → Subcontractor accounts and day-work sheets
- → The contract and any relevant specification changes
Good to know
New company. Not new expertise.
Redline Reclaim is a new company — and we're upfront about that. What you get is two co-founders with real depth: financial audit and reconciliation expertise on one side, and the technical systems to run the process properly on the other, plus a genuinely careful read of your numbers from day one.
Commercial terms — how a review is priced — are agreed individually on the scoping call, once we understand your project. Nothing is charged before that.
