Solution

Cost control

Compare each project's budget against what has actually been spent, updated as purchases and hours come in. You see an overrun coming while there is still time to act, not when the invoices arrive.

What's included

  • 01

    Budget by item

    Load each project's budget by chapter and item, with quantities and unit prices from your cost breakdown.

  • 02

    Actual costs as they happen

    Purchases, hours and subcontractor payments are recorded against the right item as they come in.

  • 03

    Alerts before an overrun

    Get notified when an item gets close to its budget, so you can act before it goes over.

  • 04

    Change orders tracked

    Register each change order with its cost, approval and effect on the budget, so nothing gets lost.

  • 05

    Cost by project and company

    See costs for one project or for all of them, and compare how each one is doing against plan.

  • 06

    Connects to your accounting

    Works alongside the accounting and tools you already use, importing from them instead of replacing them.

How it works

  1. 01

    Load the budget

    Import the project's budget by item from the spreadsheet or cost breakdown you already work with.

  2. 02

    Record actual costs

    Purchases, hours and payments are assigned to their item as they happen, from the office or the site.

  3. 03

    Watch the gap

    The system compares budget and actual for each item and flags the ones getting close to the limit.

  4. 04

    Decide in time

    With the numbers up to date, the team adjusts purchases, scope or change orders before the overrun.

Who it's for

  • Construction company owners

    Owners who want to know if each project is making or losing money while it is still being built.

  • Budget and finance teams

    Teams that prepare budgets and today rebuild the actual cost by hand from invoices and spreadsheets.

  • Fixed-price contractors

    Companies working at a closed price, where every overrun comes straight out of the margin.

What you gain

  • Overruns seen while there is still time to act
  • Each project's margin visible during the build, not after
  • Change orders recorded and approved, not forgotten
  • Less time rebuilding costs from invoices and spreadsheets
