TERP Module

Construction

Contract job costing — BOQ, progress claims, certification, retention, site costs and variations.

Start free → All modules

Price a bill of quantities against a contract sum, then claim work measured to date. Claims are cumulative, so when a QS cuts one the difference comes back automatically on the next — the thing spreadsheets get wrong. Certification posts the revenue and moves the retention to its own receivable, and retention comes back in two stages. Variations are tracked apart from the original BOQ so the final account always reconciles.

Key features

What you get

✓Contract sum and BOQ, with variations counted separately
✓Warns when the BOQ does not price to the contract sum
✓Cumulative claims — a cut by the QS is not lost, it returns next claim
✓Certification with per-line quantities; a QS may cut, never add
✓Revenue recognised at certification, never at claim
✓Retention withheld to its own receivable, with a contract cap
✓Receipts against the payable, with overpayment reported not absorbed
✓Retention released in two stages — practical completion and defects liability
✓Site costs — materials issued from stock, labour, subcontractors and plant, on the job
✓Cost held as work in progress until the work it paid for is certified
✓Material delivered but not built in can be held back from the next certificate
✓Margin on certified work, job to date, with no percentage before the first certificate
✓A cost report by month, by type and by job
✓A reconciliation that finds any cost the ledger never received, and names it
✓Variations with an instruction and an approval — approved work is contract value, instructed work is not
✓A claim says how much of itself rests on variations nobody has approved

A worked example

A warehouse job, two certificates in

1

Contract 32,000,000, retention 10% capped at 1,600,000, four BOQ lines.

2

Claim 1: 300 m3 of concrete measured. The QS certifies 280.

3

The certificate posts Dr Work certified, Cr Contract revenue, retention to its own account.

4

Claim 2: 550 measured to date, so it claims 270 — the 20 the QS cut came back.

5

The client pays the payable; retention is released later in two halves.
