Protect your margin. Every week.

Remote contract administration and workflow design delivered with weekly structure, clear documentation, and no full-time overhead.

Your claims go out right. Your variations get captured. Your deadlines don't lapse.

We handle the contract admin that protects your margin — for custom home builders on HIA, ABIC, MBA, Australian Standard (AS), and bespoke residential contracts. Everything we do is remote, deliverable-based, and designed to get you paid on time without adding site overhead.

We also help businesses design and implement the systems that support that work, from Notion AI workspace builds to end-to-end workflow transformation.

What we do

Core ongoing services. The visual tells the story first; the copy just clarifies the move.

Your CA keeps pushing while you stay on site — Scopewise Advisory handles progress claims remotely

Core service 01

Progress Claims

Monthly claim packs built against the right reference date, with approved variations and retention already checked before anything goes out.

  • Claim pack assembled
  • Variation register cross-checked
  • Retention and dates verified

Keeps earned revenue from slipping between site delivery and certification.

Capture it or lose it — the lifecycle of a missed variation; SWA identifies triggers and issues formal notice within the time bar

Core service 02

Variation Notices

We catch the instruction, turn it into formal notice, and get it issued before the contract window closes.

  • Trigger identified early
  • Notice drafted in writing
  • Pricing issued inside the time bar

Turns informal scope changes into documented entitlement while the trail is still fresh.

The clock is already ticking — SWA identifies EOT triggers early and gets notices out before the window closes

Core service 03

Extension of Time Notices

Delay events are tracked week to week so your EOT notices land before the window expires, not after the dispute starts.

  • Delay events logged
  • Notice window monitored
  • EOT submitted on time

Protects time entitlement before liquidated damages become the argument.

The Bad Cop Buffer: SWA absorbs contractual friction so the builder-client relationship stays professional

Core service 04

Your "Bad Cop" Buffer

We handle the contractual pushback and overdue-payment friction so you can keep the site relationship intact.

  • Difficult notices handled remotely
  • Claim pushback answered clearly
  • Builder stays out of the firing line

Separates commercial enforcement from day-to-day client and consultant relationships.

Registers go stale, deadlines don’t wait — SWA maintains your contract registers and deadline tracking with clear fortnightly snapshots

Core service 05

Contract Registers & Deadline Tracking

Your registers, deadlines, and live contract position stay current, with a clear fortnightly snapshot of what needs attention next.

  • Variation and EOT registers maintained
  • Upcoming deadlines surfaced
  • Fortnightly risk snapshot issued

Creates a live contract dashboard instead of a stale spreadsheet recovered during a dispute.

Supplementary services

System design support for teams that want the same contract discipline reflected in their workspace, workflows, and internal reporting.

Supplementary service 01

Notion Workspace Design

We design practical Notion workspaces for builders and consultant teams who need one clear source of truth for projects, notices, claims, and decisions. The focus is simple: make the system usable day-to-day, not just visually clean.

  • Workspace architecture for projects, operations, and leadership views
  • Relational databases for clients, projects, tasks, registers, and deliverables
  • Templates for progress updates, variation workflows, and recurring admin
  • Permission structure and handover so the team can run it without friction

Supplementary service 02

Business Workflow Design & AI Integration

We help project-based businesses replace manual, spreadsheet-driven administration with structured, system-driven environments, using Notion AI as the intelligence and workflow layer. From platform migration to AI-assisted document drafting, we design and implement the full stack.

  • End-to-end workflow analysis and system design
  • Platform migration and implementation (e.g. Wunderbuild, Xero, Notion AI)
  • AI agent configuration for recurring administration tasks (claims, notices, follow-ups, reporting)
  • SOP development and staff training/handover
  • Integration architecture across platforms (e.g. Notion AI as intelligence layer over job management and accounting systems)

What's not included

We focus on upstream contract administration only. We do not provide:

  • Site attendance or on-site representation
  • Legal advice or legal representation
  • Expert witness reports
  • QS take-offs or cost planning
  • Estimating or tendering
  • Project management or programme management

Why SWA, not the alternatives?

Lawyers

Gap: Episodic, expensive, not embedded weekly

SWA fills it by: Sitting upstream of the lawyer — making legal intervention rarer

QS / building consultancies

Gap: Broader scope, higher cost, often represent the owner

SWA fills it by: Embedded in your project weekly, residential-contract-specialist, lean

SaaS tools

Gap: Passive — they automate what you've set up, not what you've missed

SWA fills it by: Providing the judgment layer - interpreting time bars, drafting notices, catching missed instructions

Project Manager handles it

Gap: Project Managers are stretched across programme, trades, quality etc

SWA fills it by: Taking the CA workload off the Project Manager's desk so they can focus on the build

Pricing

We offer two engagement models depending on your project volume and preference.

Monthly Retainer

Fixed monthly fee covering all core CA services across your active projects. Best for builders with 1–3 ongoing projects.

% of Contract Value

A percentage applied to each project's contract price. Scales with your workload — no over- or under-paying.

We don't publish fixed pricing online because scope and risk vary by project. Book a quick call and we'll confirm fit, scope, and the right engagement structure for your project(s).
