The claim is assembled lot by lot. So is the record.
CONQA lot management ties every piece of QA evidence – checks, photos, hold-point sign-offs – to the specific lot it belongs to, so each line on the progress claim has its record attached the day the claim goes in.
The record per lot is what releases the line on the claim.
A civil progress claim isn’t assessed as one job – it’s assessed lot by lot, against completed, verified work. Each lot without its evidence is a line marked held: not lost, held – money you’d already earned, sitting frozen while the paperwork catches up. One civil contractor described holding millions in monthly claims as, simply, “not okay.” CONQA assembles the record per lot as the work happens – evidence against the ITP, hold points signed off, tied to the lot – so the proof is ready the day the claim is.
Evidence, checks, and sign-offs tied to the lot – the claim line and its record, assembled together.
Lot management software that shows where every lot stands – claimed, claim-ready, or waiting on a hold point.
The lot register shows quality status across every lot on the job: which lots have their evidence complete, which are waiting on a sign-off, which are falling behind the work. That’s a claim conversation and a program conversation in the same view – you know what you can claim this month, and you know where the record is falling behind the build before month-end makes it expensive. The effort went in up front. The register is where it shows.

The lot register – quality status across every lot, in one view.
Close-out assembles as you go, not from memory at the end.
When the record is built lot by lot as the work happens, close-out is already assembled – no weeks reconstructing an old job from phone photos and camera rolls, no massaging things until they’re close enough. One contractor spent five days rebuilding an 18-month-old job from phone photos with no levels or heights shot, and named what that really is: a record that can no longer be assembled honestly.
“We’re not telling the true story.”

Common questions
What is a lot in civil construction?
A lot is a defined section of work on a civil project – a length of pavement, a drainage run, a pour – that is inspected, tested, and conformed as a unit. Lots are the building blocks of quality assurance on infrastructure work: evidence is captured per lot, hold points are signed off per lot, and progress claims are assessed lot by lot against verified work.
How does lot management affect progress claims?
Because civil progress claims are assessed lot by lot, each claim line needs the QA record for its lot – evidence against the ITP and hold-point sign-offs – before it clears. CONQA’s QA lot tracking keeps that record assembling as the work happens, so claim lines go in with their evidence attached instead of sitting held while someone reconstructs the paperwork.
Does CONQA replace our scheduling, ERP, or project software?
No. CONQA is the QA record, and it’s deliberately independent – it sits alongside your scheduling, ERP, and project tools rather than replacing them. The record belongs to you, is exportable in full, and outlives the project, the file, and the person.
The claim is assembled lot by lot. The record should be too.
