Getting it wrong is expensive

Issuing a subcontract that doesn't comply with the CCA or SA-2025

What happens

A subcontract is issued using a modified template — retention terms that exceed what the CCA permits, payment provisions that contract out of statutory rights, or conditions that are inconsistent with SA-2025. The subcontract is signed. Work starts. Six months in, a dispute arises and the contractor tries to rely on a specific clause. The subcontractor's lawyer points out the provision is void under the CCA. The clause the contractor was counting on doesn't exist.

sub.management

Subcontracts are built on SA-2025 Specific Conditions — a standard form developed jointly by the Registered Master Builders Association and the NZ Specialist Trade Contractors Federation specifically for CCA compliance. The structure isn't editable in ways that would void it. What gets issued is compliant by construction.

Miss the 20 working-day payment schedule

What happens

A subcontractor serves a payment claim on a Friday afternoon. It gets filed and forgotten over the weekend. By the time the schedule is issued, the 20 working-day window has closed. The full claimed amount — disputed or not — is immediately payable as a debt. No right to challenge it in court.

sub.management

Automatic countdown from the moment a claim is recorded. Amber alert at 15 days, red at 18. The deadline is always visible — you can't lose track of it.

No specific reasons for non-payment

What happens

A payment schedule is issued that says "not certified — work incomplete." That's not a reason under s.21(3). The subcontractor refers to adjudication, the schedule is found non-compliant, and you're back to owing the full claimed amount. A sentence that felt like a reason wasn't one.

sub.management

Line-by-line certification with auto-numbered reasons required for every item not paid in full. CCA s.21 compliance score on every schedule before you issue it.

Variations issued verbally or by informal email

What happens

Site manager calls the sub and says "add the extra data cabling while you're there." The sub does the work, includes it in the next claim, and you have no record of what was authorised, by whom, or for how much. The dispute is unwinnable — there's nothing in writing.

sub.management

Formal variation instructions issued through the platform. One-click subcontractor acknowledgement. Timestamped audit trail. Approved variations link automatically to the next payment schedule.

The same project details retyped on every subcontract

What happens

Head contract reference, principal name, PC date, payment terms — typed out again for the eighth subcontract on the same project. The PC date changes. Three of the eight subcontracts still show the old one. Six months later, that discrepancy matters.

sub.management

Enter project details once. Every subcontract under that project inherits them automatically. Change the PC date in one place — it updates everywhere.

AI answers about the CCA — not about your contract

What happens

You ask an AI tool when the PC retention release is due. It explains the general CCA rule. But your answer depends on your contract sum, your retention rate, your DLP period, and your specific PC date — none of which that tool knows.

sub.management

The AI advisor has your contract details already loaded. Ask about retention, payment claims, disputes, or practical completion — and get answers specific to the subcontract in front of you.

No single view of where each subcontract sits

What happens

Thirty active subcontracts across eight projects. Which PCs are due this month? Which retention releases are overdue? Which payment schedules are approaching their deadline? Without a system, the answer is: check each one individually. Something always slips.

sub.management

Project dashboard shows every subcontract at its current stage — from pre-letting through to defects completion. Milestone alerts, retention release dates, and payment schedule deadlines surfaced automatically.
