Challenges in Construction & Contracting

These are the operational hurdles we help construction & contracting businesses overcome every day.

Budget Overruns

Without real-time cost tracking against budgets, projects exceed estimates and you only discover it when it is too late to course-correct.

Subcontractor Coordination

Scheduling dozens of trades, tracking progress, managing change orders, and processing invoices across multiple subcontractors is chaotic.

Material Procurement Timing

Order too early and materials sit on site depreciating. Order too late and the project stalls waiting for deliveries.

Document Management

Drawings, permits, inspection reports, and change orders scattered across email, shared drives, and filing cabinets make audit preparation painful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the system handle progress billing (AIA format)?

Yes. We configure progress billing with percentage completion, scheduled values, and retention tracking. The system generates AIA-style payment applications that align with your contract terms.

How do you handle multi-project resource sharing?

Equipment and labor resources are tracked across projects with availability calendars. Transfer requests between projects are managed with approval workflows and cost allocation.

Does the mobile app work offline at construction sites?

Yes. The mobile app supports offline data entry for daily logs, time tracking, and inspections. Data syncs when connectivity is restored.
