For construction & contractors
Know what every site cost you — while the job is still running
Materials tracked from the store to the slab, spend measured against the BQ line by line, plant with a named custodian, and retention you actually chase — the contractor's whole operation in one system.
Sound familiar?
If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.
The site that eats materials
Cement, steel, and fittings leave the store by the lorry and arrive on site by memory — and 10–20% disappears somewhere in between.
Profit you only learn at the end
The job felt fine until the final account: the BQ said one number, the site spent another, and nobody saw the gap opening in real time.
Plant nobody can locate
The mixer, the compactor, the scaffolding — moved between three sites this month, and the register was accurate the day it was typed.
Retention and certificates forgotten
Money held back on every certificate, subcontractor claims part-paid — and a receivables picture that lives in one quantity surveyor's head.
What you get with AWRA OpsHub
Each capability links to a deeper feature tour.
Store-to-site materials control
Every issue booked against a site and a task, deliveries checked in, variance visible the same week — not at handover.
Site transfers with real custody
Materials and plant move between sites on transfers that refuse to dispatch stock you do not have, keep batch identity in transit, and name who sent and who received.
Job costing that reaches every channel
One budget per job against a true actual — labour, purchase orders, expenses and stock issued from your own store — with the overrun flagged while the job still runs.
Plant & equipment custody
Every machine and tool with a named custodian and full movement history — findable across all your sites, with condition recorded on every hand-off and a verification trail from each site walk-round.
Procurement with approvals
Requisition to PO to receiving in one auditable chain — a purchase order can only be raised from an approved quotation, and an over-delivery is refused at the receiving bay.
Landed cost on imported materials
Duty, freight, and clearing folded into the true unit cost of imported steel, fittings, and finishes — so margins are real.
Materials signed for at the gate and at the store
A delivery accepted on site and cement issued to a foreman can each be signed for, with the printed name of whoever took it and the time. Two signatures on a transfer between stores, so a shortfall in transit has a name at both ends rather than a variance nobody owns.
How teams get started
1
Start with one live site
Create a task per major element, open the store with a count, and book issues against those tasks — the first variance report pays for the project. Keep the BQ allowances themselves in a spreadsheet; there is no BQ structure to load them into.
2
Bring in plant and procurement
Register the machines with custodians, route site buying through approvals — commitment stops running ahead of authorization.
3
Run the whole contract book
Every site on one dashboard: cost-to-date against each job's budget, committed spend not yet invoiced, and where every machine is. Retention and BQ comparison stay on your own schedule.

BQ vs Actuals: Job Costing That Tells the Truth on Site

A Week, a Contract and a Signature
A certified payroll has a period of one week, a scope of one contract, and a signature attesting to three specific things. None is a cost figure — and its most unusual requirement is something this product already does, in the wrong module.

The Figure You Have to Be Satisfied About
A British contractor files monthly, naming each subcontractor, what they were paid, and how much of it was materials. That third figure is defined as what the contractor is satisfied the subcontractor's own materials cost — not a number on any document you hold.

A Day That Skips Only the Holidays
Singapore's security-of-payment Act defines a day, for every deadline in it, as any day other than a public holiday. Weekends count. That is a third unit of time, and most systems implement two.

Questions we are asked here
Frequently asked questions
Does AWRA replace our estimating or BQ software?
No — it governs the operations side: materials, costs, plant, procurement, and retention. Your estimating software produces the BQ; you bring that budget into AWRA and track actual spend against it line by line as the job runs. The two coexist, and most contractors keep their estimating tool.
Can it track materials and costs per site and per task?
Yes — every issue, delivery, and purchase is booked against a site and, where you want the detail, a specific task or BQ line. That is what lets you see cost-to-date against budget while the work is still running, rather than discovering the gap at the final account.
How does it handle plant that moves between sites weekly?
Plant and equipment are assets with a named custodian and a movement history, transferred between sites on recorded transfers that capture condition before and after. At any moment you can see where a machine is, who holds it and when it last moved — across every site at once. What you will not see is when it is next due for service: there is no service interval or next-service date on an asset, so that calendar stays with you.
Can we track retention money and subcontractor payments?
Yes — retention held on each certificate and subcontractor claims and payments are tracked as part of the project financials, so the money owed to you and by you stops living in one person's head and becomes a report anyone authorized can pull.
