Subcontract requirements & time bars

Your subcontract sets the rules for variation notices. Record those rules once so VariationGuard can flag potential deadlines.

1. 1

   Set it up manually

   Open the subcontract requirements for a project and record what your subcontract says about notices, timing, pricing and approvals.

2. 2

   Basic vs subcontract-specific

   Without your subcontract requirements you get general guidance. With them, you get subcontract-specific notice requirements and potential time-bar tracking.

3. 3

   Understand the limitations

   Time-bar calculations are based on what you enter and may be incomplete. Business-day guidance excludes weekends and supported Australian public holidays (national and Queensland) where a company timezone is set — other states aren't fully covered yet, so confirm critical dates yourself.

4. 4

   Review your subcontract

   Always check your actual subcontract. What you record here is a memory aid, not a substitute for reading the contract.

Time-bar tracking is based on what you have set up and may be incomplete. This is not legal advice — check your subcontract.
