Builders & Construction
Variation tracking, subcontractors, progress claims, compliance docs.
Variation Tracking
Manage scope changes formally. Clients receive a variation notification, approve or reject it, and you have a complete audit trail instead of a verbal approval that disappears.
- Formal variation approval workflow with client sign-off
- Cost impact automatically added to job total
- Full audit trail: who requested, who approved, when
- Variation reason classification (client request, site condition, etc.)
- Variation register for reporting and disputes
Subcontractor Management
Assign licensed subcontractors to jobs and phases. Track their work, manage their documentation, and keep projects moving.
- Subcontractor register with licence and insurance tracking
- Assign subbies to specific job phases or tasks
- Track subcontractor hours and progress on-site
- Certificate of insurance expiry alerts
- Subcontractor payment tracking
Progress Claims & Milestone Invoicing
Invoice by milestone or progress percentage. Track retention amounts and outstanding progress claims across all active projects.
- Milestone-based invoicing (deposit, frame, lock-up, completion)
- Retention amount tracking with scheduled release
- Professional progress claim documents
- Outstanding claims dashboard across all projects
Construction Compliance Certificates
Store all compliance documentation against the relevant project. Building permits, engineering sign-offs, occupation certificates - all in one place.
- Building permits linked to the project
- Engineering sign-off documentation
- Certificates of Occupancy / Practical Completion
- Trade compliance certs from sub-contractors
- Searchable compliance document register
Every variation approved in writing
Every variation is formally documented, sent to the client for approval, and tracked in a register. Cost impact is automatically added to the job total. You have a complete audit trail if disputes arise.
