Still waiting on drawings the Works can’t proceed without? Describe it in plain English and ChatNotice drafts a clause-compliant Sub-Clause 1.9 notice in minutes.
Generate a 1.9 noticeTell ChatNotice what hasn’t arrived, in your own words — “the rebar drawings for Pier 3 were promised three weeks ago and the foundation pour can’t start without them.”
It asks only what the notice needs — which drawing or instruction, when it was requested and needed, and which activities are stuck.
ChatNotice drafts a formal notice that puts the request trail on the record and reserves time and cost — ready to review and send.
Sub-Clause 1.9 covers any drawing or instruction the Engineer fails to issue in reasonable time — reinforcement details, approvals, setting-out data, responses the Works cannot proceed without.
A 1.9 claim is strongest when the Contractor can show it asked for the drawing and said when it was needed. The notice states that trail — request date, required date, still outstanding.
Like Access to Site, delayed drawings carry Cost plus reasonable profit as well as time. The notice reserves the full entitlement the clause gives.
It is an online tool that drafts your Sub-Clause 1.9 notice for you. Instead of starting from a blank template, you describe the late drawing or instruction in plain English; ChatNotice asks a couple of follow-up questions, cites Sub-Clause 1.9 and the claims clause, and produces a formally worded notice — ready to review and send.
It strengthens the claim considerably. Sub-Clause 1.9 contemplates the Contractor having given notice of when the drawing or instruction was needed. If you requested it in writing with a required-by date, the notice records that trail; if you have not yet, send the request now and the notice can follow the moment the date passes.
Most notices take two to three minutes — describe what is missing, answer a couple of questions, get the draft. ChatNotice is free to use during the beta. Sign up with a work email; no credit card required.
