Daywork is a means by which a contractor is paid for specifically instructed work based on the cost of labour, materials and plant plus a markup for overheads and profit. It is generally used when work cannot be valued in the normal way.

Examples of when daywork is when work is instructed for which there are no comparative rates in a bill of quantities or a pro-rata method of pricing can’t be used. This method of pricing can have advantages to the contractor so putting monitoring and controlling procedures in place is advisable.

Contractors will usually have a template or daywork sheet to capture labour hours, materials and plant. Dayworks can either be, percentage addition or all-inclusive rates. With all-inclusive dayworks a pre-established schedule of rates submitted at tender is used to price the daywork

A typical daywork sheet can contain the following:

* Project details.
* Instruction nr issued by client or site instruction.
* Date (some contractors capture a weeks work on a daywork sheet).
* Description of the dayworks.
* Detail of labour, including tradesmen’s names and hours worked.
* Detail of all material used.
* Detail of all plant used.
* Add on costs – profit and overhead.
* Signature area for contractor’s representative.
* Signature area for client’s representative.

The client’s team on-site should monitor the works for the project when daywork has been instructed. If a clerk of works is part of the client team, monitoring dayworks will be a typical duty for him/her. They will verify the hours captured and plant and materials used by the contractor and sign off the daywork sheet. Their signature will only verify the data captured on-site and not that the daywork sheet is a valid claim for the final account.

Clear communication between the contractor and the client’s team is vital to minimise disputes, especially regarding dayworks. The selected contract used for the project will also capture clear instruction on time scales and procedures that must be followed for valid daywork claims.
