A FAMILIAR SITE PROBLEM

The extra work gets done. The variation gets disputed.

The builder asks for a change onsite. You keep the job moving. At invoice time, the subcontract says no written approval means no payment.

  1. 01Builder asks onsite
  2. 02Work keeps moving
  3. 03Invoice is disputed

Find that rule before the extra work starts — not after the invoice.

Clean scans stay free · Contract triage, not legal advice.

CLAUSE 05

The short answers.

Is this legal advice?

No. ClauseCheck is contract triage. It points to wording and questions worth raising; it does not decide whether a term is enforceable or replace an Australian construction lawyer.

Which trade documents can I check?

Subcontracts, trade contracts, work orders and scopes of work. Upload the complete agreement, including schedules and incorporated terms where you have them.

Does it know Australian construction law?

Australia is preselected so the scan can use that context, but payment, licensing and dispute rules vary by state, territory, project and contract type. Use qualified local advice for those decisions.

Will it always find a problem?

No. A clean scan stays free. ClauseCheck is designed to surface wording worth questioning, not invent a reason to sell a report.

Is Unlimited right for every tradie?

No. If this is your only subcontract, use pay per contract. Unlimited is for subcontractors, builders and suppliers reviewing drafts, revisions or multiple jobs.

Is my subcontract stored?

ClauseCheck does not keep your original subcontract or build a permanent contract library. A paid report recovery copy expires after seven days.

What if I need help after payment?

Email support@clausecheck.co with your receipt and a short description of the issue. Do not email the contract unless support asks for it.
