Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about VariationDesk and how it supports construction variation evidence, approvals and billing preparation.
What is VariationDesk?
VariationDesk is construction variation capture software for UK subcontractors. It helps site teams record extra work, attach evidence, collect approval and prepare a cleaner record for office review and billing handoff.
Does VariationDesk replace my contract process?
No. VariationDesk does not replace your contract terms or commercial judgement. It helps create clearer records for your team to review alongside your normal contractual process.
Can managers sign when they are not on site?
Yes. VariationDesk supports secure remote sign-off links so an authorised person can review the variation details and approve remotely where your business process allows it.
Can I export evidence for billing?
Yes. VariationDesk creates PDF evidence packs and supports CSV or customer-enabled accounting handoff depending on the workspace setup and plan.
Is VariationDesk built for UK subcontractors?
Yes. The product and public guidance are written around UK subcontractor workflows, VAT-aware pricing and evidence needs for site-to-office variation control.
