Control Contracts Proactively — Before Claims, Delays & Disputes Escalate
Gain real-time visibility into obligations, variations, payments, and commercial risk across the project lifecycle.
What Does It Do
Contracts Linked to Actual Work & Progress
It provides proactive, execution-linked control throughout the contract lifecycle. This provides owners, EPC teams, and commercial managers with timely visibility to prevent uncontrolled scope growth, improve payment accuracy, reduce disputes, manage exposure, and maintain a complete, defensible audit trail.
Contracts are connected to:
- Scope, BOQs, and work packages
- Construction progress and milestones
- Variations, claims, and approvals
- Payments, retention, and cashflow
Result: You always know what is contractually allowed, what is executed, and what is financially exposed.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers on variations, claims and progress-linked payments.
How are contracts linked to actual site progress?
Contract values are linked to actual work progress. Each contract is connected to its scope, BOQs and work packages, construction progress and milestones, variations and claims, and payments, retention and cashflow, so you always know what is contractually allowed, what is executed and what is financially exposed.
Can variations be captured on site and tracked through approval?
Yes. Variations are captured as they arise on site, and Wrench SmartProject tracks their approval status and commercial impact. The effect of each variation on cost, schedule and cashflow is assessed, and approved versus pending variations appear on the contract dashboards.
How does it help manage claims and counter-claims?
It supports early identification of potential claims and links each claim to the delays, variations and events behind it. Submission, review and resolution status are tracked, so every position is backed by a clear record with full contractual traceability.
Can interim payment certificates be generated from verified progress?
Yes. Contract values are linked to actual work progress, and interim payment certificates are automated on that basis. Retention, advances and final bills are controlled in the same place, improving payment accuracy.
What do the contract dashboards show?
They show real-time contract value against executed value, approved versus pending variations, and claims exposure by project or contractor. This gives commercial managers early visibility of commercial risk while there is still time to act.
Does it work with budget, schedule and BIM modules?
Yes. Wrench SmartProject Contract Management works with budget and cashflow management and planning and schedule control, as well as construction progress tracking and risk, quality and safety management. A BIM-enabled Digital Twin is available as an optional connection.
Stop Managing Contracts After Problems Occur.
Traditional systems show contract issues after impact. SmartProject shows them while you can still act.
