Construction value is created on site but governed through drawings, contracts, quantities, valuations and approvals. Property continues into sale, lease and maintenance. We build systems that connect these records without confusing budget, commitment, progress and cash.
Budgets are structured by work breakdown, trade, location and cost type, while variations change scope after contracts are let. Forecasting must preserve the original budget, approved changes, pending exposure, commitments and actuals as distinct amounts.
Supplier invoices do not necessarily represent work completed. Progress claims, measured quantities, retention, advance recovery, certification and tax must pass through contractual approval before becoming payable.
Teams need to know which drawing revision governed work in a particular area and when an instruction was received. RFIs, submittals, inspections, daily logs and photographs require transmittal history and links to package, location and responsible party.
Resources move between projects, materials can be free-issued or contractor-supplied, and deliveries may be consumed before paperwork catches up. Capturing transfers, usage and idle time is essential to explain project cost rather than merely book invoices.
A property unit moves from inventory and reservation through agreement, handover, occupancy, billing and maintenance. Area definitions, payment schedules, tenant obligations and shared-service charges need effective-dated records across that lifecycle.
A general ledger can say what has been posted, but project teams also need committed, certified, accrued, forecast and pending-change positions. Treating all of these as invoices makes the forecast late; treating them as one editable budget removes accountability. Construction ERP must retain each commercial state and its approval path.
We design cost structures that reconcile to finance without forcing site teams to think in account codes. Contract schedules, quantities, variations, retention and payment certificates feed a project cost ledger. Forecasts remain versioned so management can see what changed, when and why.
Construction estates often include BIM or common data environments, scheduling tools, estimating packages, accounting platforms, access control and equipment telematics. Integration depends on stable project, package, cost-code, location and organisation identifiers. A drawing link without revision and transmittal context is not enough for a site record.
We exchange only the records each platform should own and maintain cross-references for classifications that differ. Mobile site capture supports controlled offline work, including photographs and inspections. Failed imports, changed codes and duplicate supplier records are routed to data stewards rather than silently creating parallel structures.
A pilot project should cover procurement, subcontract valuation, site progress and cost reporting through a complete period-end. Master-data preparation includes work breakdown, cost codes, contract balances, approved variations and opening commitments. An active project is not migrated as if it were a new one.
Later waves introduce document controls, mobile records, plant, property sales, leasing or facilities according to business priority. Controls reconcile subcontract liabilities, retention, materials on site and forecast-to-complete. Legal and accounting treatment varies by contract and jurisdiction; the client’s advisers define these requirements and configuration follows their specification.
Construction ERP connects project execution to contracts, procurement, liabilities, retention, cash and the general ledger. Project management tools may remain useful for schedules or collaboration and can be integrated where ownership is clear.
Yes, potential, submitted, instructed and approved changes can remain distinct with probability or forecast treatment set by policy. This exposes commercial risk without incorrectly revising the authorised budget.
Claims are assessed against contract items, measured progress, prior certification, retention, advances and approved variations. The resulting certificate and deductions provide the controlled basis for accounts payable.
Selected mobile workflows such as diaries, inspections and material receipts can queue offline. Synchronisation rules prevent duplicate posting and send conflicting or obsolete records for review.
It can connect project-created units to reservation, agreement, handover, lease, billing and maintenance. The exact boundary depends on existing CRM, property management and finance platforms.
Share the workflows, records, exceptions and integration boundaries the system needs to support. We will help define the technical scope.
