Projects, phases and the program of works
Each project holds its scope, contract amount, phases, target dates and the people assigned. Progress is recorded per phase as a percentage of accomplishment with the evidence attached, so the schedule slippage everybody suspects becomes a number someone has to explain.
Daily site reports filed from a phone
Weather, manpower on site by trade, equipment used, materials received, work accomplished and problems encountered — filed with geotagged photos before the engineer leaves the site. Reports queue and upload when signal returns, so nobody loses a day's record to a dead zone in the province.
Materials from requisition to delivery receipt
Site raises a requisition, purchasing canvasses suppliers, a purchase order goes out against the project budget, and the delivery receipt is matched on arrival with quantity and photo evidence. Stock at each site is counted, so cement is not ordered twice for a bodega that already has forty bags.
Subcontractors, accomplishment and progress billing
Each subcontract carries a scope, an amount and a retention rate. Accomplishment is submitted, checked against the site report, approved by the engineer and turned into a progress billing with retention computed. What has been billed, paid and held back per subcontractor is one screen, not a folder war.
Budget against committed and actual cost
Costs are coded to the project and the phase — materials, labour, subcontract, equipment, overhead. Purchase orders count as committed the moment they are approved, so the project manager sees the overrun forming while there is still a decision to make about it.
Variation orders, RFIs and approvals
Client-requested changes are logged with the cost and time impact, routed for approval, and only then added to the contract amount. Requests for information, submittals and approvals carry dates and owners, which is what you need when a delay claim arrives eight months later.
Client progress portal and document vault
Owners and clients get a login showing progress photos, accomplishment percentage, approved variations and billing status. Plans, permits, DRs, contracts and as-builts live in one versioned vault with the current revision obvious, so the crew is not building from a superseded drawing.
