Progress Claim & Payment Schedule

Set up progress claims for a project: milestone structure, claim documentation, and the security-of-payment basics that protect your cash.

Set up progress claims for: {{project}} (value, duration, stages, the contract's payment terms if agreed, my state: {{state}}).

Build: the milestone/claim structure (stages that front-load fairly — deposit, then claims tied to visible completions; never let work-done outrun cash-received by more than I can afford to lose), the claim document per milestone (works completed with photos, this-claim vs contract-total running table, GST handling), the security-of-payment note for my state (the Act gives claim/response deadlines and adjudication — flag the reference-date and endorsement basics to verify, because the paperwork details decide cases), and the overdue escalation: the day-1 call, the suspension-of-works threshold, and the pre-legal letter. Cash discipline: the claim goes in ON the milestone day, not when I get to paperwork.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
