ERP & IT consulting for construction and contracting

Every project needs its own budget, costs and billing. I help contractors see project margin before the project ends.

Problems I'm usually called in to solve

The symptom	What is really going on
Margin known only at the end	Costs aren't tracked against budget during the project.
Site purchases out of control	Material requests and approvals happen by phone.
Progress billing in Excel	Claims, retentions and variations are calculated manually.
Equipment costs untracked	Plant and vehicles aren't charged to projects.

Live project cost vs budget
Committed and actual costs tracked by cost code.
Controlled site procurement
Requests, approvals and deliveries recorded per project.
Accurate progress billing
Claims, retention and variations handled in the system.
Equipment allocation
Plant and vehicle costs charged to the right job.

Can a general ERP handle construction projects?

Some can, with project accounting modules. Contractors with complex billing, retentions and subcontracts often need a construction-specific product.

How do site teams enter data?

Mobile apps or simple forms for material requests, timesheets and daily reports, synced to the ERP.
