Free notice templates for subcontractors
The habit that beats almost every harsh clause is written notice, sent the day something changes. These templates make that a 90-second job: download the Word or PDF, fill in the highlighted placeholders, send. No sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Payment claim template by state
A complete progress claim for your state: the cover with the right statement under the Act, an itemised schedule of work, variations, retention and totals.
Getting paid
Notice of intention to suspend works
A payment claim's due date has passed and the amount is unpaid
Payment claim cover
Every progress claim, every month: the statutory machinery only protects claims that engage it
Payment schedule response letter
The builder served a payment schedule for less than your payment claim
Letter of demand for unpaid progress payment
A scheduled or certified amount has passed its due date unpaid
Request for release of retention
Practical completion of your works has been reached (usually half the retention is due)
Changes and delays
Variation notice email
The builder's team directs a change on site: more scope, different materials, a redesign, out-of-sequence work
EOT claim letter (extension of time notice)
Anything delays the works: late access, late information, other trades, builder's design changes, weather, latent conditions
Disputes and the final account
Deed of release carve-out
The builder sends a deed of release, deed of settlement or 'final payment certificate and release' with your final payment
Notice of dispute
A variation, delay claim, back charge or final account is rejected and talking hasn't fixed it
Back charge dispute letter
A back charge or contra appears on a payment schedule or remittance
The templates protect the claim. The contract decides it.
Notice windows, clause numbers and whether the time bar is absolute all live in your subcontract. The free scanner reads them in about two minutes.
