ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW

Your departments work together.
Your records should too.

Not another isolated spreadsheet. A project record that connects what was agreed, what was delivered and what is still outstanding.

01

Start with the contract

Set up the project and work order. Connect the agreed scope, bill of quantities (BOQ), contract rates, commercial terms and cost budget. Give each department a common reference for the work ahead.

The baseline: what was agreed, how it is measured and what it should cost.

02

Connect design to delivery

Follow drawing revisions and material submissions through review. Link material requirements to procurement, purchase orders, store receipts and production records, so an outstanding delivery is visible before it becomes a site problem.

The handover: design → procurement → stores → production.

03

Make the evidence count

Record deliveries, installation quantities and inspection references against the project. Distinguish material received from work installed, and surface missing records, quality issues and approvals still pending.

The evidence: what was delivered, what was executed and what still needs review.

04

Close the commercial loop

Prepare an interim payment application (IPA) from reviewed quantities and BOQ rates. Track the client’s certificate, the invoice raised and the payment received as separate stages, with variations and outstanding actions visible.

The follow-through: QS review → application → certification → invoicing → collection.

THE SAME CONTROL. YOUR TRADE’S DETAILS.

From the drawing
to the work you claim.

Explore an illustrative package for your trade. The pilot maps your actual documents, approval stages and measurement rules—not a one-size-fits-all process.

01 / Aluminium & glazing

From a facade detail to a measured claim.

Connect the drawing revision, glass and profile requirements, fabrication progress and installed quantities. Your QS can follow the same package through to its payment application.

  1. 01Define the package

    Record the facade scope, BOQ units and rates, drawing revisions and material submissions.

  2. 02Follow fabrication

    Link procurement and material receipts to the package. Track the production and delivery status separately.

  3. 03Record installed work

    Capture measured site quantities and the status of material and work inspections. A delivered panel is not automatically an installed panel.

  4. 04Prepare the application

    Use reviewed quantities and contract rates to prepare an IPA draft. Make any pending inspection approvals visible for QS review.

02 / Steel & metalwork

Keep the drawing, the workshop and the site connected.

Follow a steel package from shop drawings and material requirements through fabrication, delivery and erection. Keep commercial measurement tied to the unit agreed in the contract.

  1. 01Define the package

    Record the steel scope, drawing revision, material specifications and the contract measurement basis.

  2. 02Follow fabrication

    Track material orders, receipts and workshop stages against the work order. Keep procurement commitments visible.

  3. 03Record installed work

    Record erection progress, supporting inspection references and outstanding quality items by package.

  4. 04Prepare the application

    Reconcile reviewed progress to the BOQ unit and rate. Keep variations and pending approvals distinct from agreed work.

03 / Signage

Give every sign a clear route from approval to payment.

Bring artwork and detail approvals, fabrication records, location-specific installation and commercial follow-up into one workflow. Agree sign types and measurement rules during the pilot.

  1. 01Define the package

    Identify the sign type and location, approved artwork or detail revision, specification and agreed BOQ item.

  2. 02Follow fabrication

    Follow material procurement and fabrication progress without confusing workshop completion with site completion.

  3. 03Record installed work

    Record installed quantities by location and retain inspection or handover references. Keep outstanding approvals visible.

  4. 04Prepare the application

    Price reviewed quantities against the agreed rates. Identify additional signs or revised scope for variation review.

04 / Interior fit-out

Turn room-by-room progress into a clearer commercial picture.

Connect finishes and joinery packages to their drawings, material submissions, procurement and site records. Review what is complete, what needs attention and what can support a claim.

  1. 01Define the package

    Agree the room or zone, scope, drawing revision and BOQ measurement basis for each finish or joinery package.

  2. 02Follow procurement

    Follow material approvals, orders, receipts and any off-site fabrication against the project budget.

  3. 03Record installed work

    Record measured progress and inspections by room or zone. Keep defects and incomplete work visible rather than assuming handover.

  4. 04Prepare the application

    Reconcile measured quantities to the BOQ, separate variations and prepare a payment application for QS review.

Schematic-to-3D animations illustrate each trade, not actual customer projects, technical installation methods or automated drawing measurements. Each payment application remains subject to your team’s checks and the contract terms.

COMMERCIAL CLARITY

A claim is not a certificate.
An invoice is not cash.

See the stages separately. Trace figures back to their records, identify missing evidence and keep your QS and accounts team working from the same picture.

A CLOSER LOOK / INTERIM PAYMENT APPLICATIONS

Less rebuilding the paperwork.
More time checking the claim.

An IPA is your application for payment—not a promise of certification or cash. The aim is to give your QS a traceable draft, with the measurements, rates and supporting records ready to review.

  1. 01

    Start with reviewed quantities

    Drawings help establish scope and proposed quantities. Your team checks the measurement and records the work actually executed. A drawing takeoff alone is not proof of installed progress.

  2. 02

    Match the BOQ and the period

    Connect each measured item to the correct unit and contract rate. Reconcile previous and cumulative quantities so the current application does not claim the same work twice.

  3. 03

    Keep the commercial checks visible

    Review variations, retention, advance recovery and other applicable contract deductions. Material inspection requests (MIRs) and work inspection requests (WIRs) support the claim; pending approvals remain visible as a risk, not silently marked approved.

  4. 04

    Review the draft, then follow through

    The assistant helps prepare the document; your QS reviews and submits it. Record the client’s certification separately, then follow invoicing and collection with Accounts.

START SMALL. PROVE THE WORKFLOW.

Your business is not a template.

We agree the scope before rollout: your document formats, approval responsibilities, financial definitions and reporting needs.

DISCOVER

Map the way you work

Review a sample contract, BOQ, cost report and payment application. Agree what the pilot must demonstrate.

CONFIGURE

Make it your workspace

Define company branding, dashboard priorities, access roles and document templates. Customisation is scoped and quoted separately.

VALIDATE

Reconcile before rollout

Test one project with your team. Check the figures, review permissions and sign off the workflow before adding live operations.

Before we get started

Can we keep our Microsoft or Google accounts?

Login can be configured for your approved company accounts. Provider setup and your access list are confirmed during onboarding; signing in alone does not grant access to project data.

Will AI submit payment applications for us?

No. The assistant can help prepare a draft from reviewed quantities and BOQ rates. Your QS checks the evidence, deductions and commercial terms. Pending inspection approvals remain visible, and submission stays with your team.

Can we receive weekly email and WhatsApp alerts?

Weekly reporting and budget-alert integrations are being prepared for the pilot. Activation depends on agreed recipients, reporting rules, sender verification and WhatsApp template approval. They are not enabled by default.

What is included in the commercial proposal?

A defined software subscription, separately scoped onboarding and customisation, and an agreed training and support arrangement. Pricing follows discovery; no unconfirmed integration or feature is assumed included.

How is company information kept separate?

Initial customer deployments are designed with separate application settings, databases and private document storage. The pilot includes access checks and a recovery plan. Hosting location and customer data requirements are agreed before live use.
