Progress Payment Reporting

If you’re about to commence construction on a new house or small development, your financier will need a few of our reports:

  1. Pre-funding Report (aka Initial Report)
  2. Stage Claim Progress Payment Reports

We can provide both reports at a competitive price with fast turnaround. We specialise in projects based in South-East Queensland, but also travel to North Queensland.

What we specialise in


  • Residential
    (up to 8 floors)


  • Commercial
    (up to 10 floors)


  • Industrial
    (up to 4,000sqm)

What we don’t do:

  • Health Care Facilities
  • Infrastructure
  • Residential over 10 floors in height

Types of Progress Payment Reports

There are two kinds of Progress Payment Reports: Stage Payment and Percentage Complete. Each has its benefits, and its downsides:

1. Stage Payment is great for the client:

  • Faster assessment by the QS = builder not held up
  • Fewer claims made = fewer bank fees

However, the builder can suffer from cashflow issues if there are delays in completing the next stage. We’ve seen many builders go insolvent due to poorly-managed cashflow.

Percentage Complete is great for the builder:

  • Making claims more frequently = better cashflow
  • If held up in one area, they can push ahead elsewhere and claim that work = fewer delays

However, it takes the QS a lot longer to assess, and so they charge more for the reports.
