A project whose true cost you know before handover

Contracting firms usually discover a project lost money after it finished, once the invoices are finally gathered. The problem is not the accounting, it is the timing: cost is recorded late and compared to budget late. The system makes that comparison live, per line item, at every stage.

Modules

What the contracting system runs

From contract to final payment certificate.

Project and delivery

  • A project with stages, items, quantities and a programme
  • Progress per item reported from the site
  • Variation orders documented with their contract impact
  • A daily report of labour, plant and weather
  • Photos and documents tied to a specific stage

Money and suppliers

  • Periodic payment certificates on approved progress
  • Subcontractor agreements and their payments
  • Retentions, guarantees and their release dates
  • Actual cost against budget for every item
  • An alert when an item passes a threshold you set

From the site

The system fails if its data is entered from the office

Contracting systems fail when the site engineer must return to the office to enter the day's data. It gets entered from memory three days later, and loses both accuracy and value. We build entry to happen on site, from a phone.

What gets entered on site

Item progress with an attached photo
Daily labour and plant numbers
Material receipt with the supplier signature
A non-conformance or delay note
A request for extra materials for the stage
Consultant sign-off on a completed item

Reporting

Actual against planned, as it happens

Three reports before it is too late to act.

Cost variance per item

The gap between estimate and spend, line by line rather than at whole-project level where an overrun hides until handover.

Progress against programme

What has genuinely been completed versus what was due by this date, with site photos and a signature.

Variation orders

The effect of each variation on budget and duration, documented before the work rather than during the claim.

Questions

About the contracting system

Does it work on sites with no network coverage?
We build entry to work locally and upload when the connection returns, because many sites have no stable coverage in their early stages.
Does it connect to the accounting system?
Yes, so payment certificates and supplier invoices carry across with no double entry. We connect to your existing system or build the accounts module within scope.
We run several projects at once.
Each project has its own budget, team and reporting, with a dashboard covering all of them so you can see which is behind and which is over budget on one screen.
