G&C Pty Ltd provides contract administration, progress claims and commercial management to road and civil contractors across New South Wales — run by someone who has sat on both sides of the claim.
Twelve services, in the order a job actually runs. Practical, hands-on commercial support that protects the number you priced — now with the record-keeping grind automated.
Pricing models, production-rate benchmarking and competitive positioning for civil and asphalt tenders — so the job starts on a number that holds.
Risk allocation, payment terms, time bars and notice regimes flagged in plain language — GC21, GC21-based and Australian Standard forms — before they cost you, not after.
Day-to-day administration of construction contracts — notices, correspondence, variations and records that stand up when it matters.
Preparation and assessment of monthly progress claims, substantiation packages and claim-versus-assessment reconciliation.
Variations scoped, priced and negotiated; delay events notified inside the time bar with entitlement preserved — built the way Tier-1 commercial teams expect to receive them.
Packaging, tender evaluation, negotiation and award of subcontract and supply packages — then administered downstream so your subbies' terms mirror your head contract.
Payment claims and payment schedules prepared to survive the Act's deadlines, and support assembling adjudication material — the clock below shows why timing is everything.
Docket, production and QA registers set up so every claim line traces to a record — dockets, diaries, photos and as-builts organised before the argument starts.
Cost tracking, forecasting, subcontractor reconciliation, end-of-month reporting and final-account close-out — the last dollar, collected.
Site records and supporting paperwork collected, read and filed into claim-ready registers automatically — every document, not a sample, and nobody typing the same thing in twice.
Contracts, specifications, scope documents and tender packs read at volume to surface time bars, notice regimes, obligations and risk — then checked line by line by an engineer before anything is relied on.
Purpose-built workbooks and scripts for the way your job actually reports: claimed against assessed, quantities against records, forecast against actual — built once, then run every month in minutes.
Engagements: single claim · monthly retainer · full project
Before you sign: send the contract to tenders@GandCptyltd.com.au — we'll flag the time bars, payment terms and risk before they're yours
Tell us where it hurts — the claim, the variation, the contract you haven't signed yet.
We audit what you actually hold: dockets, diaries, notices, photos, correspondence.
Entitlement mapped against the contract; the number rebuilt to survive assessment.
Served properly, on time, in a form the other side can't wave away.
Assessed, negotiated, closed — money in, records archived for next time.
Commercial claims are lost in the admin, not the argument — the docket nobody filed, the register nobody finished, the month-end that ran out of hours. G&C builds its own automation and uses AI deliberately, so the volume work happens overnight and the thinking gets the time it deserves.
Every record checked against every claim line — not a spot sample. Leakage hides in the paperwork nobody had time to open.
Substantiation packages and registers assembled in hours instead of the week you haven't got. Claims go in on time, inside the time bar.
Every claimed dollar traces to a dated source record, automatically indexed. When the assessor asks, the answer is already attached.
Automation extracts, matches and flags. A civil engineer with 11+ years on road projects decides. No number leaves here unreviewed.
Registers built, not typed. Site records read, indexed and matched against what has been claimed — so work claimed without a record behind it, and work never claimed at all, both surface early enough to do something about.
Claim versus assessment. A reconciliation that tracks what was claimed against what was assessed, claim by claim, so a running shortfall is a number on a page — not a feeling at the end of the job.
Collection that runs itself. Source documents gathered and filed as they arrive, so month-end starts with a complete record instead of a search.
Built for your systems, not ours — the tooling runs on the records you already keep. Your data stays yours: project documents are never used to train anything and never left sitting in public tools, and every AI-assisted output is verified against the source before it reaches a claim, a notice or a counterparty.
Buried in paperwork? Send us one month of records — we'll show you what automation finds
G&C Pty Ltd is led by George Yousef — a civil engineer and contract administration specialist with over a decade on major road and civil infrastructure projects across NSW, from motorway maintenance and asphalt surfacing to council upgrade programs for tier-one clients.
That time was spent on both sides of the table: building the claims as the contractor, and assessing them for the principal. It is exactly that double vision — knowing what the assessor will strike out before the claim is even submitted — that G&C puts to work for its clients.
The paperwork is current, not theoretical: GC21 and GC21-based forms on major projects, Australian Standard forms on council contracts — claims, variations and risk allocation negotiated month in, month out against Tier-1 and government counterparties, on works ranging from live motorways and live rail corridors — Mount Victoria and Narrabri–North Star — to a secure Defence site and an operating town centre.
He works fluently in Arabic as well as English — reading, writing and negotiating in either. On a lot of Sydney civil jobs that is the difference between a subcontractor nodding along and a subcontractor who has actually understood what he just signed.
He has also sat on the other two sides of the table: program management inside the consortium that operates Sydney Metro, and six years running his own civil contracting business — full P&L, a council civil works panel appointment, and the experience of chasing his own progress claims.
2023 CCF Project Manager of the Year. 2024 AfPA Emerging Leader finalist. Bachelor of Engineering (Civil), UTS.
Delivered by G&C's principal in senior engineering and project-management roles with tier-one builders and specialist contractors — listed here as operator track record, claimed as nothing more. The judgement transfers; the record is verifiable.
Specialist subcontractor to John Holland on the Sydney Water program — delivery and commercial administration alongside an operating water-infrastructure client.
Asphalt and surfacing works on the motorway integration program — specialist subcontractor to John Holland, under live traffic.
Surfacing works on Sydney's newest motorway corridor, to TfNSW specifications.
Arterial road upgrades for TfNSW — staged, night-shift works in live corridors.
Regional road upgrade delivered to TfNSW specifications.
Head-contractor delivery for Georges River, Cumberland, Penrith and Shoalhaven councils — live public-domain works, residents and businesses kept onside.
$12.5m civil works on a secure, restricted-access Defence site — QA and claims in a fully regulated environment.
$5.5m town-centre upgrade for council — delivery recognised with CCF NSW Project Manager of the Year 2023.
Program management inside the MTR-led consortium operating Sydney Metro — a safety-regulated rail operating environment, on the operator's side of the table rather than the builder's.
Major regional rail-line upgrade in a live ARTC corridor with John Holland — work packages, subcontractors, cost control.
Rail remodelling in the Blue Mountains with John Holland — package owner reporting to the Construction Manager.
Managed-motorway upgrade under live traffic with Seymour Whyte, to TfNSW (RMS) specifications — civil and structural delivery of the ITS infrastructure: overhead gantries, VMS and lane-use-signal structures, roadside sites and ramp signals, with the conduit, pit and cable network feeding them. ITS and electrical subcontractors coordinated into the civil program, through to device commissioning and handover to the operator.
TfNSW arterial upgrade with Seymour Whyte — site engineer on the bridge structures alongside live traffic: set-out, dimensional tolerance and surface finish, hold points, ITPs and lot conformance through to as-built.
Major greenfield motorway in Queensland — work-package delivery on the fibre-reinforced polymer package, with Acciona as principal contractor and client: subcontractor and supplier coordination, QA and ITP conformance.

The calculations we run for clients every month, built so you can run them yourself. Every business-day count below follows the Act's definition — weekends out, NSW public holidays out, 27–31 December out — which is where most desk calculations quietly go wrong.
Guides, not legal advice. Your contract can shorten every one of these dates, and standard forms are nearly always amended. If a date below matters to you, have someone read the executed contract.
Payment claim served? The clock is already running — for both sides. Put in the date it was served and see the statutory deadlines under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW). Miss the schedule date as a respondent and the claimed amount becomes a debt.
They didn't schedule, or they scheduled short. Adjudication has its own clock, and it branches depending on what the respondent did. Pick the scenario and get your window and your next move.
Retention is the money everyone forgets to chase. Work out what will be held at the cap, what should come back at practical completion, and the date the balance is due.
Would your claim survive an assessor? Tick what is actually true of the claim you are about to serve — not what you intend to do before you serve it. Nothing is sent anywhere; this runs in your browser.
Twelve checks. The weighting follows what actually gets claims struck out — records and notices carry the most.

Most claims are won or lost on records and contract mechanics long before a courtroom. G&C builds and argues the commercial position; if a matter escalates, your lawyers inherit a clean, substantiated file instead of a shoebox. When you genuinely need a lawyer, we'll be the first to say so.
It starts with a records review — what you hold, what you're owed, what's at risk. From there, three shapes: a single claim or variation, a monthly retainer across your jobs, or whole-of-project support from tender to final account.
Yes. The years were spent on both sides — building claims as the contractor, assessing them for the principal. Councils and principals get the same rigour on assessment and contract administration that contractors get on claims.
Rarely. The records you already hold usually say more than you think — dockets, diaries, photos, emails. A records review will tell you quickly whether the position is worth running, and how far.
Start with the claim that's bothering you — or the contract you'd rather not sign unread.
