Build Folks

Clients see progress, milestones and photographic evidence without seeing cost or internal deviation — confidence without exposure.

Every approval waiting on a director or PM arrives in one queue with the context needed to decide — the indent, the bill, the deviation and its budget impact.

The project manager’s lens — planned versus actual, cost to complete, open deviations and the approvals waiting on them.

The whole portfolio on one screen: value, progress, cash and receivables, with a risk heatmap that ranks projects by exposure rather than by size.

Photographs are pinned to the location and the job they evidence, which is what makes a measurement or a hindrance claim defensible months later.

The storekeeper records receipts against the purchase order and issues against the work order on a phone, so the store balance is live rather than reconstructed weekly.

Attendance is captured per gang and per subcontractor, feeding both the daily report and the labour cost that lands in the project ledger.

Site engineers submit the daily progress report with quantities executed, manpower, plant and weather — queued locally when the network is patchy and synced when it returns.

The full navigable map of the suite — every page derived from the running application’s own menu tables, which is what keeps the prototype and the live system in step.

Client RA bills, retention, GST and receivables sit alongside the project cost ledger, so billed value, certified value and cost incurred are always comparable.

Plant is tracked whether owned or hired: deployment by site, log sheets, fuel, breakdown and hire charges reconciled against the vendor invoice.

Each subcontractor works to a work order with its own rate schedule; measurement books feed running-account bills, with retention, advance recovery and deductions applied automatically.

Goods receipt against the purchase order, issue against the work order, inter-site transfer and a periodic reconciliation that ties stock on the ground to stock on the system.

Materials carry their specification, unit, wastage norm and theoretical consumption per BOQ item — which is what makes over-consumption visible at the point it happens.

Site indents are consolidated, floated as enquiries, compared across vendors on landed rate and awarded as a purchase order — with budget checked against the BOQ before release.

Yesterday’s plan is reviewed against what was actually achieved, the gap is recorded as a deviation with its cause, and tomorrow’s plan is issued from the same screen — the discipline that keeps a programme honest.

Every BOQ carries its version history and its rate analysis, so the tendered rate, the awarded rate and the executed rate remain separately auditable rather than overwritten.

The programme is authored as a work breakdown structure and driven as an interactive Gantt: dependencies, float, resource loading and a frozen baseline that all later slippage is measured against.

Portfolio value, physical versus financial progress, cash position and the exceptions that need a decision today — each tile drilling into the project, job or voucher behind it.
