Build Faster · Track Smarter
When your site supervisor logs attendance on-site and your project manager opens the dashboard in the office, they should both see the same numbers. Here's how Con-trak makes that happen — even when the internet cuts out.
Most construction companies reconcile labour at month-end — which means they discover budget overruns weeks after they could have acted. Daily tracking changes everything.
Construction sites produce a constant stream of receipts — fuel, materials, plant hire, hardware. Most of them end up crumpled in a pocket or lost entirely. Here's a better system.
Most project managers only discover budget problems when they're reviewing the month-end report. By then, the damage is done. Con-trak's budget alert system is built to catch overruns while you can still act.
Professional client invoices and progress reports shouldn't take half a day to produce. Con-trak generates them from your live project data — accurate, branded, ready to send.
When something goes wrong on a construction site — a dispute, an audit, an injury, a defects claim — the contractor with the best records wins. Here is what you are legally and commercially required to document, and how to make it effortless.
Running payroll for a construction crew is not the same as running payroll for an office team. Variable hours, mixed crew types, retention, and site allowances turn what should be a simple calculation into a weekly headache. Here is a better system.
Subcontractors can make or break a project. When they perform well, they extend your capacity without adding headcount. When they don't, they can blow your budget, miss your programme, and create disputes you'll spend months resolving. Here's how to manage them properly.
Most contractors know whether their overall business is profitable. Few know, in real time, whether each individual project is on budget. Job costing closes that gap — and it is the difference between contractors who grow confidently and those who are perpetually surprised by their numbers.
A daily site report is the paper trail that protects you. Done well, it keeps clients informed, prevents disputes, and creates the contemporaneous record that wins arguments. Done badly — or not at all — it leaves you exposed. Here is how to get it right.
A construction business can be profitable on paper and still fail because of cash flow. Understanding why — and building a system to manage it — is one of the most important things you can do as a contractor.
Managing two projects is twice the complexity. Managing five is not five times — it's closer to ten. Con-trak's portfolio view was designed specifically for contractors running multiple sites simultaneously.
