The problem

Where contractors lose money

Costs are known too late

Money goes out on materials, fuel, hired machines and wages across many sites. Most contractors only find out what a job cost after it ends.

Purchases go ahead without approval

Site staff buy what they need, and the office sees the receipt later. There is no check before the money is spent.

Payroll takes days

Casual and seasonal workers move between sites. Working out PAYE, pension and who worked where is slow and easy to get wrong.

What it covers

One system for the whole construction business

From the site request to the payslip, every cost is tied to its project.

Project finance

Payments, receivables and payables recorded against each project, with profit per project.

Payment certificates

Track certificates and retention for each contract, and what is still owed to you.

Requisitions and approvals

Site requests go to the right managers for approval before anything is bought.

Stores, fleet and plant

Stock in each store, fuel issued, and your vehicles and machines.

Payroll

MRA-compliant PAYE and pension for full-time, seasonal and casual workers, with wages charged to each project.

Documents

Project documents kept in one place, with search that finds what you need.

Why it matters

What this means for your business

Overspending shows up early

When a project starts costing more than planned, you see it while there is still time to act.

Spending is checked before it happens

Every purchase has a manager's approval behind it, so there are no surprises when receipts come in.

Wages are part of the project cost

Payroll is charged to the project the workers were on, so labour is counted with materials and fuel.

Better prices on the next job

Knowing what past projects really cost helps when pricing the next tender.
