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.

How teams get started

1

Start with one live site

Load the BQ, open the store with a count, and book issues against tasks — the first variance report pays for the project.

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 vs BQ, retention held, and plant utilization across the company.

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 approved transfers. At any moment you can see where a machine is, who holds it, and when it is next due for service — across every site at once.

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.
