The contract read once, its terms extracted, its dates set

Upload the executed contract and it is read: the clauses registered against the PDF, the key terms pulled onto their own tab, the payment timetable set once and used for every valuation’s statutory dates.

  • Retention, notices, final dates, liquidated damages and defects liability, with the clause each came from.
  • The contract sum comes from the bid return; nothing is re-keyed.
  • Ask the assistant what the contract says. It answers from the text and cites the page.

The tender award becomes the subcontract, assembled and signed

Push the winning bidder from the tender package and everything travels: scope, pricing, design responsibility, attendances, terms. Set the buy-out target, assemble the documents, send for e-signature.

  • A buy-out above target is flagged before the order goes out.
  • The subcontract raises the commitment in the purchase ledger the moment it is executed.
  • Signature state on the register: sent, signed, completed.

A cost only ever emanates from a commitment: reference, cost code, retention and CIS come from it, never typed again. Synced to your accounts.
03

A cost only ever comes from a commitment

Commitments first: subcontract, purchase, prelim, staff. Every cost is raised against one, inheriting its reference, cost code, retention and CIS. What is committed, costed, paid and remaining reads on one screen.

  • Subcontract applications, supplier invoices and timecard hours all land here as costs.
  • Locked once committed; admin unlock with a recorded reason.
  • Synced to your accounts, with the supplier mapping shown per row.

04

Value against cost, by cost code, from the records already there

The CVR is not typed. Value comes from the contract sum and the variation register, cost from the ledger and the forecasts, and the margin by cost code updates as they do. Snapshot it monthly and read the movement.

  • Budget transfers between cost codes, netting to zero, applied and locked.
  • Over and under by line, with the reason one click away.
  • The AI report explains the movement since last month, and cites it.

Questions

How does the CVR get populated?
The value side is pre-populated from Bid Return when you push your bid. The cost side comes from procurement when subcontracts are committed and purchase ledger entries are raised. Upstream variations feed from the cost report, downstream from the variation register. Actuals come from the purchase ledger. Every number traces back to its source.
Can the AI read my contract?
Yes. Upload the contract PDF and OCR identifies key sections, extracting terms onto a dedicated tab. The contract is also chunked, embedded, and made searchable by AI. Ask about payment terms, defects liability, or liquidated damages — it searches by meaning and gives accurate answers grounded in your contract.
How do variations flow through the system?
Raise a CCI or RFC in communications. It appears in the cost report. Associated Subcontractor Instructions populate the variation register automatically. Price the variation upstream for the client. If the sub has priced their SI, pull their pricing into your sheet. Both feed into the CVR automatically. No manual logging.
How does procurement work?
Select a winning bidder in Tender Packages and push them to procurement. Everything travels — tender documents become numbered PDFs in the subcontract assembly. Set your buyout target, adjust pricing, generate AI-completed particulars, compile the document, and send for e-signature via SignWell.
How are payment applications managed?
Applications are auto-provisioned from their respective contracts. Set your payment cycle configuration — dates, terms, notice periods aligned with the Construction Act — hit generate, and every application in the cycle is created. Complete each one as it becomes due. The dashboard shows AI-generated cash flow forecasts.
Does this replace accounting software?
No. It connects to your existing accounting software. Costs and payments sync with your accounts. No double entry. The platform handles the construction-specific commercial workflows — CVR, variations, procurement — and your accounting software handles the books.
