Set up the project and crew
Create the project, add tasks and estimated hours, assign employees, and keep each team member's billing rate on that engagement.
Explore ProjectsOne job, several document trails
Build the job record while the work happens.
The project holds the customer, tasks, team, dates, and billing rates. Timesheets record the labour, RFQs and purchase orders document material sourcing, inventory records what enters or leaves a store, and expense claims follow their own approval and reimbursement path.
Prepare monthly site time
Active projects generate monthly timesheets for assigned employees, with working days prepared for review before submission and approval.

Record the required products and quantities, capture supplier responses, compare the quotes, and convert a selected response into a draft purchase order.

Keep tasks and the assigned team attached to the job.
The project record gives the operating context for time capture. Its customer, dates, status, tasks, team assignments, and engagement-specific rates determine who receives a monthly timesheet and how booked time is valued.

Construction FAQs
Who is the Construction solution designed for?
It is designed for contractors that run customer projects and sites while coordinating time, material sourcing, purchasing, stock, employee expenses, payroll, billing, and accounting.
How are project timesheets created?
On the first day of each month, active projects generate a project timesheet with one employee line per team assignment and prepared working-day allocations.
Can buyers compare supplier quotes?
Yes. A request for quotation holds the required items, supplier responses are recorded separately, and the selected quote can generate a draft purchase order.
Can materials be tracked in stores?
Yes. Inventory documents cover receipts, issues, transfers, returns, corrections, and stocktakes, with on-hand calculated from the signed movement ledger per product and store.
Does it manage retainage or subcontractors?
No. Progress billing with retainage, subcontractor management, and equipment tracking are outside the currently documented solution.
Can the contractor workflow be adapted?
Yes. Documents, fields, approval routes, reports, and complete business areas can be adapted on request.
