Complete workflow guide for MC contract management in construction project management
MC contracts in Mastt let you manage main managing contractor agreements and generate structured payment statements. Use this guide to set up an MC contract with categorised line items, enter a progress claim, and generate an MC payment statement that groups amounts by cost category.
Before You Start
- You have contract details and line item breakdowns ready
- You have identified the Commonwealth representative, contractor, and PMCA for the contract
Setting Up the MC Contract
Create the Contract

- Click Add Contract.
- Select MCC Standard from the contract type options.
- Enter the Commonwealth representative details.
- Enter the Contractor details.
- Enter the PMCA (Project Management Consultant Administrator) details.
- Enter any additional contract information as required.
Add Line Items
- Go to the line items section of the contract form.
- Enter each line item and select the correct cost category:
- Work Fee Planning
- Work Fee Delivery
- Self-Performance
- Management Fee Incentive
- Other
- Enter comments and attach documents if needed.

Make sure you assign the correct cost category to each line item. The cost category determines where amounts appear on the MC payment statement.
Processing a Progress Claim

Generating the MC Payment Statement
- Go to the payment you created.
- Click the Action button (⋯) next to the payment.
- Select MC Payment Statement.
- Check the generated statement to confirm that all line items appear in the correct sections based on cost category.
The MC payment statement displays all line items grouped by cost category, with previous amounts and current payment amounts clearly separated.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: What if contract information is missing from the payment statement?
Make sure all required fields are completed in the contract setup. Check the Commonwealth representative and PMCA details in particular.
Q: Why are amounts appearing in the wrong sections of the statement?
Check the cost category assigned to each line item in your contract setup. Each cost category determines where the amount appears on the MC payment statement. Update the category and regenerate the statement.
