Build on budget ERP for contractors, builders and infrastructure firms

Construction ERP that keeps every project on budget and on schedule

BOQs and estimates, budgets and progress, materials and site stores, subcontractors, RA billing, equipment and project accounting in one system, built for contractors, developers and infrastructure companies.

  • Budget vs actual
  • RA billing
  • Material reconciliation
Project lifecycle

From tender to handover in one system

The BOQ priced at tender becomes the budget, the purchase plan, the subcontract scope and the client bill, so every number traces back to it.

  5. Execute

Why contractors switch

Five risks on every site

Each one eats into project margin. Each one has a fix.

Risk 01

Budgets blown quietly

Cost overruns show up only when the project closes.

Fixed with: Budget vs actual by BOQ item, every day
Risk 02

Material vanishes on site

Cement and steel are issued, but nobody reconciles what was used.

Fixed with: Issue vs consumption vs theoretical reconciliation
Risk 03

Subcontractor bills disputed

Measurements, retention and advances are tracked on paper.

Fixed with: Measured work orders with retention and recoveries
Risk 04

Client bills go out late

RA bills are built in Excel from site notes.

Fixed with: RA bills generated from certified measurements
Risk 05

Idle machines, high rent

Hired equipment sits on site while bills keep running.

Fixed with: Equipment logs with utilisation and hire costs
BOQ & estimation

Estimate a building in seconds

A sample residential tower. Set the built-up area, cost per area and your overheads, contingency and margin to see the project value. Figures are illustrative; your ERP builds estimates from BOQ items and rate analysis.

Converted at approximate rates. Your choice is remembered across pages.

1 sq m = 10.764 sq ft. Taxes are added on client bills.

Planned vs actual

The S-curve tells you early

Progress is measured against the schedule every week. When the actual line falls below plan, you see it months before the deadline. Sample project, week 7 of 13.

Material & procurement

Reconcile every bag and bar

Material received, issued and the theoretical quantity for work done are compared each month. The gap is your wastage, by item and by site. Sample site.

See material and procurement
Subcontractor management

Pay for work measured, not work claimed

Work orders carry rates, retention and advances. Bills are based on measured quantities, and recoveries are deducted automatically. Sample subcontracts.

Progress billing

RA bills straight from measurements

Certified measurements become the client's running account bill, with previous bills, retention, advance recovery and escalation worked out for you.

See progress billing
Equipment & plant

Machines that earn their keep

Hour meters, fuel and logs show how much each machine works. Low-use hired equipment is flagged so it can be returned. Sample month.

FAQ

Construction ERP questions

Straight answers to what contractors and developers ask us most.

What is a construction ERP?

An ERP for contractors, builders and infrastructure companies. It manages BOQs and estimates, project budgets and progress, procurement and site stores, subcontractors, client RA billing, equipment and project accounting in one system.

What is an RA bill?

A running account (RA) bill is an interim bill raised on a client for work completed so far, based on certified measurements. Each RA bill shows the cumulative value, previous bills, deductions such as retention and advance recovery, and the amount due.

How does budget vs actual work?

Each project's budget is built from its BOQ and rate analysis. Purchases, material issues, labour, subcontractor bills and equipment costs post against BOQ items, so overruns show up as they happen.

Can it reconcile material on site?

Yes. It compares material received, issued and the theoretical quantity needed for the work done, so wastage and theft are visible for cement, steel, sand and other items.

Does it handle subcontractor retention and advances?

Yes. Work orders carry rates, retention percentages, mobilisation advances and recoveries, and each bill deducts them automatically.

Can site teams use a mobile app?

Yes. Site engineers record daily progress reports, photos, labour attendance, material indents and equipment hours from the site app.

Does it track planned vs actual progress?

Yes. Progress is measured against the schedule, giving an S-curve and earned value figures such as the schedule and cost performance indices.

How long does implementation take?

Typically about 10 to 12 weeks for a contractor with several projects, including BOQs, procurement, subcontractors, RA billing, the site app and a pilot project.
