Business Central for construction and contracting
Construction margins are made or lost per project. The ERP has to show cost against budget as work happens, not after the job closes.
Processes we support
Job and project setup
Job tasks, budgets and cost codes set up before work starts.
Job costing
Materials, labour, equipment and subcontractor costs posted to jobs.
Progress billing
Billing by percentage complete, milestones or schedule of values.
Subcontractors
Purchase orders, retention and payment tracking.
Cash-flow visibility
Forecast versus actual by project and portfolio.
Challenges we see
- Costs posted after the period closes
- Retention and variation orders tracked outside the ERP
- No project-level cash flow view
