Variation & Extra Work Claim

Document a variation claim that gets paid: the scope change, the evidence trail, pricing, and the client conversation before the invoice surprise.

Write up this variation: {{variation}} (original scope, what changed and why — client request? latent condition? — extra cost/time, evidence I have: photos, texts, emails).

Produce: the variation notice — what changed vs the quoted scope (quote the original scope line), why (attributed factually), cost and time impact itemised, and approval-before-proceeding wording (or if work's already done — the reframe that salvages it: the contemporaneous record, the 'as discussed on site' anchor), the evidence checklist for THIS claim (what to photograph/save now), and the client conversation script BEFORE sending paper — variations sour when the invoice is the first they hear of a number. Flag if my situation has a contractual notice deadline I may have blown (many contracts: days, not weeks).

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