Progress Claims Software that brings everything into one place.
The platform for quantity surveying and cost management professionals to assess and certify claims with confidence.
Buildsoft's new solution for managing Progress Claims is coming soon.
Notum is progress claims software built for the Quantity Surveyors who assess and certify claims independently on behalf of a Principal, Client, or financier. It brings the contract, the Bill of Quantities, variations, site evidence, and the claim itself into one connected project, so every certified figure is backed by a record that holds up under scrutiny.
Everything you need to assess and verify claims in one place.
Here’s a peek at what you can expect from Notum
- A centralised workflow connecting every piece of the claim.
- Better control over the tension between meeting strict SoPA deadlines and retaining the details that matter, so you're not caught having to trade one for the other.
- Retention applied and tracked automatically.
- Vera, Notum's AI assistant, built into every project, so every question you ask is answered in the direct context of your own documents and figures.
- Simplified site inspections with a connected mobile app (beta) that allows you to capture photos and record voice notes directly against the matching BOQ items.
- A full audit trail so you have confidence your work is always defensible.

What Quantity Surveyors say about Notum
Notum has significantly improved the way I manage progress claims, with a faster and more streamlined workflow. I estimate it saves at least half a day on a typical claim, while also reducing the risk of spreadsheet errors. This allows me to focus more time on the assessment itself, take on additional work and deliver greater value to my clients.
