Modernise your estimating, project management, and site operations systems so you can price work more accurately, track projects in real time, and reduce margin lost to manual processes.
If you run a construction business in the UK, there is a good chance your technology stack includes at least a few of the systems below. We have worked with all of them.
Often bespoke Access databases or older commercial packages with decades of rate libraries and pricing data.
Cost value reconciliation systems tracking committed cost, actual cost, and forecast final cost across projects.
Tools that schedule works, manage programmes, and coordinate trades across live sites.
Orders, daywork sheets, applications for payment, retention tracking, and supplier procurement workflows.
Interim valuations, applications, certificates, and retention tracking through the project lifecycle.
Internal and hired plant registers, on/off-hire tracking, and utilisation reporting.
Incident reporting, risk assessments, site inductions, and CDM compliance records.
Often paper-based or spreadsheet-driven, then re-keyed into payroll and job costing.
Drawings, specifications, RFIs, and revisions stored across shared drives and email threads.
Integration layers between Sage, Xero, payroll (with CIS compliance), and project systems.
Coins Evo, 4PS Construct, Eque2, RedSky, Causeway, and Sage Construction — used to consolidate estimating, project costing, procurement, and finance under one roof.
Most of the construction businesses we speak to have been working around their software for years. These are the frustrations we hear most often.
Does any of this sound familiar?
The estimating database is a bespoke Access file that two people understand. Every tender is a manual process: pull rates, build up items, adjust for conditions, format for submission. By the time you have priced the job, someone faster has already won it.
Job costing is retrospective. You reconcile costs after the project stage is complete, by which time the margin is gone. Real-time CVR should show where you stand today, not last month.
Drawings are on a shared drive. Timesheets are paper. Defect reports go on WhatsApp. Nothing is connected. Site managers waste hours chasing information that should be at their fingertips.
Off-the-shelf construction software works well for some businesses, but if your processes are specific to your trade, region, or project type, you end up paying for a system and then working around it. The spreadsheets come back.
Rate libraries, historical pricing, supplier relationships, build-up calculations. This is the competitive advantage encoded in your estimating system. Any modernisation must preserve and migrate it completely.
Orders, daywork sheets, applications for payment, retention tracking, spread across email, spreadsheets, and filing cabinets. Reconciling subcontractor accounts at the end of a project takes weeks.
We start with what you have, recommend the right approach for your system, and build everything around how your estimators, QSs, and site teams actually work.
We do not throw away your existing data or processes. We extract your rate libraries, pricing histories, project templates, and business logic from your legacy systems, using reverse engineering when documentation does not exist. Everything that matters gets carried forward.
A connected foundation for estimating, project delivery, site operations, and reporting.
Modern estimating interface with your full rate library migrated and searchable. Build-ups, preliminaries, and overheads calculated automatically. Tender documents generated in minutes, not days.
Live CVR for every project: committed cost, actual cost, forecast final cost. Dashboard view across all projects for directors and the commercial team. Early warning on budget overruns before they become unrecoverable.
Responsive, web-based system accessible from tablets and phones. Timesheets, defect logs, progress photos, and H&S reporting from the field. No more paper, no more WhatsApp workarounds.
Subcontractor orders, daywork, applications, and retention in one system. Valuations and interim applications generated from project data, not re-keyed. CIS and accounts integration (Sage, Xero) automated.
Incident reporting, risk assessments, and site induction records digitised. Audit trail for compliance (CDM, ISO, sector-specific).
Every modernised system includes internationalisation (i18n), responsive design, CI/CD pipeline, authentication, test data framework, and a demo environment.
Estimating, CIS and project-cost tools often sit on older database and ERP dependencies that don't surface until a migration is proposed.
