Know margin at completion before the project is complete.

Track billing, variation orders, site costs and retention across every contract, so margin slippage and cash gaps show up early.

The challenge

Margin is won at the bid, and lost on site.

Variations go unbilled, site costs drift and cash waits in retention, long before the project accounts show it.

Margin to date hides the end.

Contracts look profitable until cost-to-complete catches up in the final quarters.

Variations go unbilled.

Approved changes sit unbilled for months, though the cost is already spent.

Site costs drift unseen.

Diesel, materials and subcontractor bills run ahead of progress with no early flag.

Cash locked in retention and BGs.

Retention, mobilization advances and bank guarantees are tracked in Excel.
