The budget and the actual spend only meet at the end — by then the loss is locked in.
Baseline the budget against the WBS and watch earned value, cost and schedule variance update as costs post, so an overrun is visible while you can still act.
Construction project & cost control
Plan the work breakdown, baseline the schedule and budget, then track earned value, progress (RA) bills, materials, equipment and subcontractors against it — so a slipping job shows up while you can still fix it.

The problems we remove
The budget and the actual spend only meet at the end — by then the loss is locked in.
Baseline the budget against the WBS and watch earned value, cost and schedule variance update as costs post, so an overrun is visible while you can still act.
RA bills and subcontractor claims are reconciled on spreadsheets and disputed for weeks.
Progress (RA) bills are raised against measured quantities and the baseline BOQ, with retention and deductions applied automatically and a clean trail for certification.
Materials and equipment leak across sites with no real cost per project.
Indents, GRNs, issues and equipment logs deduct against the project budget in real time, giving a true landed cost per cost head.
Permits, drawings and change orders live in inboxes and get missed on site.
Versioned drawings, permit registers, change orders and a daily site diary keep every revision and approval in one place, accessible from the site.
Everything in one place
Break the project into a work breakdown and bill of quantities that everything else costs against.
Build the critical-path schedule, set the PV baseline and track planned vs actual progress.
Live EVM with cost and schedule variance, CPI/SPI and forecast at completion.
Raise running-account bills against measured quantities with retention, deductions and certification.
Indents, purchase orders, GRNs and site issues that deduct against the project budget.
Track owned and hired plant, utilisation, logs and hire cost per project.
Work orders, sub-bills, labour attendance and payments tied to each package.
Versioned drawings, permit registers, change orders and a daily site diary in one place.
Budget vs actual, billing, cash position and variance across every project.

“We used to find out a site was over budget at handover. Now earned value flags it months earlier, and our RA bills go out the same week the work is measured.”
