Tips for Final Accounts, Claims & Disputes
Explore all tips for Final Accounts in Claims & Disputes, with every available item in one place.
Tips
Building the account
A final account is assembled through the job, not written at the end of it.
Claims within the account
Loss and expense stands or falls on cause and effect, shown item by item.
Negotiating the settlement
Most final accounts settle. Settle from a position you have built, not one you have drifted into.
Deciding whether to fight
The cheapest dispute is the one you tested before you started it.
Closing out
The last documents of the job decide whether the settlement holds.
