Proven’s team, including Project Director Gavin Tucker and Project Manager Amy Brennan, are highly experienced, innovative, commercially attuned with a deep passion for exceeding client expectations.
Payment certificates & recommendation letters are a critical compliance task for superintendents and project managers, involving heavy checks, balances and legislation. Preparing these across many contracts on a regular and recurring basis, Proven PM recognised the heavy time wasting and lack of quality from existing methods:
❌ Excel tools offer no standardisation, no centralisation and no visibility. Proven struggled with disparate spreadsheets in various formats of error states and manipulation. Controlling quality a challenge.
❌ Time wasted producing Payment Certificates. Spreadsheet tools were cumbersome and risky, with complex formulas cross linking worksheets to automate a simple payment certificate. Error checking was near impossible and new staff onboarding required hours to figure it out.
“The certification of payments is a major one for us at Proven PM! Using an excel workbook, we had a certification tab, and it's quite complex formulas to transfer through to a monthly claim based on the cash flow that you've input, and so on. To teach somebody took hours”
Gavin Tucker, Project Director
