Site work, without the phone calls
Many trades, many sites and a client who wants a date. These are the problems site owners and interior firms raise with us.
One late trade delays everything
The electrician finishes two days late, the plasterer turns up anyway, and the painting date you gave the client is now wrong.
Link tasks on the Gantt chart so painting waits for plastering. When one slips the rest move by themselves, weekends and holidays are skipped, and the critical path shows what can't slip.
Materials vanish between store and site
Tiles, boards and fittings leave the store room on a slip of paper, and nobody can say which site used them.
Take from stock moves goods into the project at their cost, from the right warehouse. Tick Bill these to the client to charge them at sale price.
Stage payments get missed
The flooring stage was finished a week ago, but the invoice for it has not gone out.
Set an amount for each milestone. When the stage is reached it waits in Bill the client, with materials and expenses, ready for one invoice.
You find out a job lost money at the end
Labour, materials and the extra crew are only added up when the keys are handed over.
The Finance tab adds time at cost, expenses, bills and materials against what was invoiced, and warns managers before the budget runs over.
A site, from drawings to hand-over
- Plan the schedule
Lay out civil, electrical, plumbing, flooring and painting on the Gantt chart with dependencies, and save a baseline.
- Give out the work
Site supervisors and subcontractors see their own tasks. Contractors see only the tasks they own or follow.
- Move materials
Take tiles, boards and fittings from stock onto the job, and return what was not used while it is still unbilled.
- Bill each stage and hand over
Invoice each stage milestone with VAT or sales tax, settle it from the advance, and close the job with its real profit.
