Describe the variation in plain English and ChatNotice drafts a clause-compliant variation claim notice in minutes.
Generate a variation noticeTell ChatNotice what changed, in your own words — "the Engineer instructed an extra basement level that wasn't in the drawings."
It asks only what the notice needs — the instruction date and the effect on time and cost — and cites the correct variation and claims clauses.
ChatNotice drafts a formal variation claim notice that fixes the instruction date and reserves time and cost — ready to review and send.
A change does not have to be labelled a variation to be one. ChatNotice frames the notice for an instructed or a constructive variation and cites the matching clauses.
Unlike weather, a variation can carry both an extension of time and additional cost. ChatNotice reserves both so neither is left behind.
A variation's clock runs from the instruction, not from when the effect was felt. ChatNotice pins that date so the notice is anchored correctly.
It is an online tool that drafts your variation notice for you. Instead of starting from a blank template, you describe the variation in plain English; ChatNotice asks a couple of follow-up questions, identifies the correct FIDIC variation and claims clauses, and produces a formally worded notice that fixes the instruction date and reserves time and cost — ready to review and send.
Yes. ChatNotice covers both — a formally instructed variation under the variation clause, and a constructive variation where an instruction or change has the effect of a variation without being labelled one. It frames the notice for whichever situation you describe and cites the matching clauses.
Most notices take two to three minutes — describe the variation, 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.
