The Progress Claim Checklist

A two-minute check to run before you pay any progress claim — so you never pay for a stage that isn't finished.

• Every stage from deposit to practical completion, with the statutory definition of what "complete" actually means
• The specific trap at each stage — including the two that cost the most
• Statutory maximum percentages, so you can spot a claim that's over
• The three things to do with every claim, whatever the stage

Built by David Gilmore, an owner-builder mid-build in Gippsland, Victoria. I wrote this checklist for myself first — it's the one I run before I pay anything.
