Construction Case Study
Packages, Subcontractors and Billing on One Platform
An infrastructure EPC firm kept cost and billing in separate systems. SAP S/4HANA put the whole project, from packages to subcontractor billing, on one platform.

The challenge: Big projects, cost and billing in silos
Group reporting was stitched together by hand, revenue recognition lagged, and leadership never saw current cost or margin across projects.
- Project systems did not share a common cost structure.
- Subcontractor measurement and billing were manual.
- Revenue recognition lagged behind the work done.
- No live view of cost or margin across projects.
The solution: One SAP S/4HANA platform across projects
Cost and revenue now post to the same live data across every project.
- Project structures with packages and cost objects.
- Subcontractor work, measurement and billing in one flow.
- Progress billing and revenue recognition aligned to work.
- Embedded analytics for live cost and margin.
How it was delivered: A template, proven then rolled out
We migrated project and vendor data with checks and trained each team on its part.
Go-live took twenty weeks, with TCB on site through the first project close.
The outcome: Live cost and a faster close
The group close is faster because the data is already consolidated.
