A valuation gap is easier to discuss when each side can see the exact issue. Start with what is agreed, then work through the scope, quantity, rate and time points still open.
What accounts for the difference between your claim and the assessment?
Construction Valuation Disagreement: Start With Agreed Work
Put claimed and assessed sums beside the same scope. Link the instruction, plans and contract basis to each item.
Record the quantities and rates agreed. Then mark the disputed part so the team does not reopen points already settled.
Answer The Point At Issue
If quantity is agreed but rate is not, show the rate rule and build-up. If scope differs, compare the old and new work.
Send the records that support that point. Keep time and resource costs clear where they form part of the claim.
The total gap is visible. Which quantity, rate or scope point explains it?
- Common work
Agree what is included and completed.
- Exact difference
Isolate scope, quantity, rate or timing.
- Resolution
Answer with evidence and record the result.
Work through the defined difference and keep any payment and notice deadlines in view.
Record What The Deal Closes
Discuss the gap with people who know the job and can agree a result. Keep payment and notice dates in view while you talk.
State whether an agreed sum is on account or final for the item. Update the register and forecast together. Get legal advice where rights or formal dispute steps remain in doubt.
General guidance. Check your signed contract and the job facts. Get legal advice where needed.
