Who is it designed for?
Commercial general contractors and specialty contractors managing project work, materials and subcontract packages. It also supports contracting businesses with in-house prefabrication and work across several sites or companies. The industry pages describe typical operating patterns.
Processes and approvals
How are subcontractors managed?
Follow agreed scope, rates, approved changes, work applications and independently accepted performance. Bills match the eligible accepted work, with advances, retention and remaining commitments tracked separately. Differences remain available for review before settlement.
Does an invoice determine revenue automatically?
The reviewed recognition schedule follows the contract’s performance obligations and selected output-progress or point-in-time evidence. Billing and collections retain their own effects. Finance reviews contract assets, liabilities and balances alongside the project result.
Pricing and implementation
What does Construction ERP cover?
Estimates and contracts, project costs, purchasing and subcontractors, site materials, in-house prefabrication, customer billing and each company’s local finance. The modules show how these parts connect from bid to final payment.
How do estimates become project budgets?
The accepted estimate preserves its quantities, cost assumptions, offered price and revision. The approved project budget and customer contract retain their own purposes and owners. Later changes preserve the original baseline and apply only after the relevant review.
When does a cost become an actual project cost?
Actual material consumption, accepted field effort, accepted subcontract work and eligible direct charges supply the cost sources. Materials still held in the warehouse or at an owned site remain inventory. Purchasing, supplier billing and payment do not each add the same cost again.
What kinds of progress billing are included?
The scope supports fixed-price milestones or measured progress and unit-rate work. Applications preserve completed work, eligible stored materials, customer certification and previous billing. Contract terms determine advances and retention; a prior unpaid application does not make the same work billable again.
How is retention handled?
Track the retained amount, its contractual conditions, current classification and release evidence. Releasing retention makes an existing amount eligible for the appropriate next step without creating a second sale or job cost. Rates, tax treatment and deadlines are agreed from the actual contract and company policy.
Can we make assemblies before installation?
Yes. Bills of material, routing and released work orders support actual materials, work, accepted finished output and cost reconciliation. Finished assemblies can move to site and enter project cost when used. The prefabrication process describes that flow.
How does it handle several companies and currencies?
Each company keeps its own ownership, approval authority and local books. Document, functional and settlement currencies remain explicit, with current balances and currency differences available for review. Additional consolidation, statutory and external connection requirements are agreed during implementation.
How is it priced?
The pricing page explains platform usage and the separately priced implementation work. Estimate usage from the records, imports, connected processes and assistant activity expected across your projects.
