BENEFITS of our Personalised CVI Confirmation of Verbal Instruction pads
Improved Communication: CVIs help to improve communication between clients, contractors, and other stakeholders on a UK construction project.
Reduced risk of Errors: By recording verbal instructions in writing, there is less chance of misunderstandings or errors.
Reduced risk of Disputes: If there is a dispute about what was agreed to, it can provide a clear record of the instructions that were given by a Contract Administrator. This can help to resolve disputes quickly and fairly.
Better record-keeping of Changes: They provide a valuable record of the changes that have been made to a construction project. This can be helpful for future reference, such as when it comes to making Claims or resolving Warranty issues.
Accessibility: You can use them anywhere, anytime — no need for an internet connection or electronic gadgets. Just grab a pen!
Tangibility: Carbonless CVI Pads provide a physical copy that you can hold, file, and review without relying on electronic gadgets or power sources.

What are CVI Forms?
A CVI (also called a 'Confirmation of Verbal Instruction' as well as an 'Oral Confirmation Sheet') is a crucial procedure form used by British construction companies and builders, to formally give a Contract Administrator the legal power to issue site instructions to the Contractor.
This helps to avoid misunderstandings and disputes, and ensures clarity and understanding between all parties involved the work that needs to be done.
What features are on Confirmation of Verbal Instruction forms?
Features include:
- Confirmation of Verbal Instruction heading
- Company's name & address
- Date
- Job No
- Site Instructions with big area for description
- Drawing & Sketch attached tick boxes
- Photos taken on-site with tick boxes
- Client Signature panel
- Company Signature panel
- Sequential Numbering process is optional
Ideally, CVI forms should only be used for minor variations.
They can be a useful tool to speed up construction site progress, but given the widespread proliferation of smart phones, there surely can be extremely few occasions where a written instruction cannot be issued immediately via e-mail.
This can generally be done within minutes of giving a verbal instruction to the contractor on site. I suspect it is a matter of time before the JCT remove the CVI procedure from its contracts.
How should a CVI be drafted?
When drafting a CVI, as a minimum it should ideally:
- Include a heading of “Confirmation of Verbal Instruction”
- State when and where the verbal instruction is given
- Provide full details of the verbal instruction
- Identify who gave the instruction and to whom it was given
