01A clear starting point

Turn won work into a controlled project budget.

Bring accepted quote revenue and approved estimate costs into separate drafts. Review the mapping and approve a baseline before tracking changes.

Revenue and cost, clearly separated

Keep the contract value distinct from the cost of delivering the work.

02

Budget by cost code

Organise labour, materials, plant and subcontract scope into a reviewable budget.

03

Approved changes

Track transfers and variations against the original and revised budget.

02Cost control

See committed spend before it becomes an invoice.

Bring purchase commitments, subcontract costs, bills and site inputs into one cost view. Follow an amount back to its source and resolve missing allocations.

01

Commitments and actuals

Compare approved commitments with incurred and accrued costs.

02

Variations and claims

Connect changes, supporting evidence, assessments and approvals.

03

Accounting connections

Connect accounting records, including Xero workflows, with visible sync status and reconciliation.

Spot pressure on margin while there is time to respond.

Review estimated cost at completion, forecast margin and cash exposure. Prioritise commercial issues with owners and source records, supported by AI explanations for human review.

01

Completion forecast

Review remaining cost and movement between forecast periods.
