Construction

From the BOQ to the Final Account — On One Ledger

Twelve construction screens: sites, estimation, workforce, procurement, plant, inventory, safety and reports. Every cost lands in the same books as the rest of the business, against the site that spent it.

The problem

Why Contractors Lose Money They Already Earned

The BOQ is priced in Excel, the job is run on WhatsApp, and the cost is discovered at the end.

Material goes to site and nobody books it against the site, so the job looks profitable until it isn't.

Site labour is paid from a separate payroll and never lands against the project.

Plant and vehicles have no home — you find out a machine was idle for a month when the hire invoice arrives.

HSE records exist on paper, which is exactly where they are when an inspector asks.

Variations get done, then argued about, because nothing recorded them at the time.

Capabilities

Everything you need, built in

Every feature included in your subscription — no add-ons, no hidden costs.

Sites & Projects

A record per site under a project, with its own workforce, stock, plant and documents — and its own cost.

Estimation & BOQ

Build the bill of quantities, price it, and carry those rates into procurement rather than retyping them.

Site Workforce

Who is on which site, on what rate, on what shift — feeding site payroll.

Site Payroll

Pay the site labour force and have the labour cost land against the site, in the same ledger as everything else.

Procurement

Buy against a site with the BOQ's own rates, so budget-versus-actual is a real comparison.

Site Inventory

Material issued to a site is stock that has moved, not stock that has vanished.

Fleet & Plant

Vehicles and machines: where they are, what they cost to run, and when they are due a service.

Site Assets

Equipment on site, with depreciation and maintenance handled by the same asset engine as head office.

HSE & Safety

Incidents, inspections and toolbox talks on the record, and findable when someone asks.

Site Documents

Drawings, permits and approvals against the site they belong to.

Construction Reports

Cost per site, budget against actual, and where the money went.

Outcomes

The business impact

01

Know the Margin While You Can Still Change It

Cost lands against the site as it is incurred, so a job going wrong shows up in week three rather than at the final account.

02

One Set of Books

Site payroll, site material and site plant post to the same ledger as head office. No consolidation exercise, no second system.

03

The BOQ Follows Through

The rates you priced the job at are the rates procurement buys against — which is what makes budget-versus-actual mean anything.

04

Safety Records That Exist

Incidents and inspections are recorded where they can be produced, not in a folder in a portakabin.

Who it's for

Who uses this module?

Main Contractors

Multiple sites, one head office, one P&L — with cost per site visible throughout.

Fit-out & Interiors

Price the BOQ, buy against it, and track the variation that always comes.

MEP Subcontractors

Labour-heavy jobs where site payroll IS the cost — and needs to land on the right project.

Civil & Infrastructure

Plant-heavy work where fleet utilisation and running cost decide the margin.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure about something? Talk to a specialist.

Yes — it is the same ledger. Site payroll, procurement and material issues post journal entries in the same books as head office, so there is no consolidation step and no second system to reconcile.
