Construction
Cost control while it is still being built
A building under construction has no residents to bill and no service charge to collect. Its costs belong in a different world from the one it enters on completion.
What it does
Run developments as projects with their own budgets and bills of quantity, so variance means something rather than being a number nobody can explain. Procurement, site time and plant usage all book against the project.
Crucially, construction cost never leaks into a building’s operating profit and loss. The two are kept apart on purpose, because mixing them makes both numbers useless.
- Projects with budgets broken into parts, so variance is explainable
- Bills of quantity and progress against them
- Procurement and committed cost
- Site time and plant usage booked to the project
- Contract projects for work done for someone else
- Construction cost kept out of building operating results
Why it matters
Local units of measure
Quantities work in the units your team actually uses on site, not a translation of somebody else’s.
Milestones that matter
Construction milestones can drive instalments on the sales side, so collection follows real progress.
Two ledgers, never merged
Project cost and building operations stay separate, which is the only way either figure stays true.
Questions
Can we run work for third parties?
Yes. Contract projects — construction performed for another party — are supported alongside your own developments.
Does construction cost affect the building P&L?
No, deliberately. A tower under construction has no residents to bill, and mixing its cost into operating results would misstate both.
Can instalments follow construction progress?
Yes. A payment plan can be tied to milestones so buyers pay as the building actually rises.
