Professional final account preparation and negotiation under JCT and NEC4 contracts.
KKJ Consultants provides specialist support for final accounts, preparing, substantiating, and negotiating settlements to ensure full contract entitlement is recovered.
What Are Final Accounts?
Final accounts are the agreed financial statements at the end of a construction project that reflect all work completed, variations, claims, and payments. They confirm the total sum payable under the contract and ensure contractors, subcontractors, and clients reconcile their financial obligations.
Benefits of Final Account Services:
- Full Entitlement Recovery: Ensures all variations, claims, and adjustments are captured and agreed.
- Dispute Avoidance: Proper substantiation and negotiation reduce the risk of claims or disputes.
- Cash Flow Protection: Timely agreement accelerates receipt of outstanding payments.
- Contract Compliance: Ensures adherence to JCT and NEC4 contractual requirements.
- Professional Negotiation: Our experts negotiate settlements on your behalf for maximum financial recovery.
How This Service Works:
- Preparation: Review all project costs, variations, claims, and payment history to assemble a complete final account.
- Substantiation: Provide supporting documentation for variations, loss and expense claims, and contractual entitlements.
- Negotiation: Engage with clients or main contractors to achieve agreement on the final account.
- Compliance Checks: Ensure all calculations, notices, and claims comply with JCT Design & Build or NEC4 contract requirements.
- Record Keeping: Maintain audit-ready records for disputes, claims, and financial reporting.
Why Final Accounts Are Essential:
Unagreed final accounts delay cash recovery, create uncertainty, and increase the risk of disputes. Structured, professionally managed final accounts ensure full entitlement is captured and timely payment is received.
NEC4 vs JCT Final Accounts:
- NEC4: Requires early closure and strict adherence to time bars. Compensation Events, Defined Cost assessments, and programme impacts must be fully substantiated.
- JCT Design & Build: Allows longer negotiation periods but still requires full documentation of variations, loss and expense, and interim payments. Substantiation is critical to avoid disputes.

- Expert preparation and substantiation of final accounts under JCT and NEC4 contracts.
- Professional negotiation to maximise recovery.
- Compliance with all contractual obligations and industry standards.
