Keep Your Project Budget Under Control

In complex construction projects, tracking variations—known as "meer- en minwerk"—is often a manual, error-prone process that leads to budget shocks at the final settlement. The Meerwerk-verrekening skill automates the administration of these variations for architects and project managers, ensuring every change is documented, categorized, and tracked against the original contract.

What it does

• Structured Administration: Automatically transforms site reports, emails, and contractor claims into a formal variation statement (verrekeningsstaat).
• Root Cause Categorization: Tags every change (e.g., client choice, unforeseen conditions, design adjustments) to provide clarity during final negotiations.
• Live Budget Dashboard: Generates a real-time overview showing the original contract sum, approved changes, pending claims, and the projected final budget.
• Price Verification: Audits contractor quotes against the original Bill of Quantities (BoQ) unit prices to flag discrepancies higher than 15%.

Why use this skill

Unlike a generic prompt, this skill enforces strict architectural standards. It separates "disputed contractor errors" from legitimate variations, flags work performed without written consent in red, and ensures "minwerken" (deductions) are tracked as rigorously as additions. It provides a professional, defensible audit trail that protects the architect's liability and keeps the client informed throughout the build.

Output

You receive a professional variation statement including a budget summary dashboard, a categorized list of all changes with their approval status, and a "pending actions" list for the client.
