Daywork Sheet and Daywork Record

About this document

What it’s for

When extra or unforeseen work is paid on a daywork (time and materials) basis, disputes often arise because records were not kept or agreed. A daywork sheet signed by the client or their representative on the day is the best evidence for your payment application.

When to use it

  • For variations the client has instructed to be valued on daywork
  • For unforeseen work where a price cannot be agreed in advance
  • Alongside the Variation and Change Order Form and Payment Application

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Daywork sheet – labour, materials, plant and totals
  • Contractor and client signatures
  • Weekly daywork summary

How to complete it

  • Fill in one sheet per day per instruction
  • Get it signed by the client’s representative before leaving site, or send it within [24] hours
  • Transfer totals to the weekly summary and your payment application

Key points to check

  • Signing a daywork sheet usually only confirms the time and resources, not that daywork is the correct basis of valuation – agree this in writing
  • Use the rates in your contract or quotation
