Construction and real estate

ERP, Software and AI Built Around How Your Sites Actually Run

TCB Infotech builds site-wise progress tracking, material and BOQ consumption tracking, and subcontractor billing that connects to your existing ERP.

Why It Matters

How This Fits a Construction Company

One view of progress, material and billing across every site

A construction company running four or five sites at once cannot rely on a phone call or an end-of-month spreadsheet to know where each site stands.

  • Material consumption checked against the BOQ as it is used.
  • Subcontractor bills tied to work actually completed.

Site data connected to your ERP, not tracked around it

Your existing ERP or project system stays in place. TCB Infotech connects site progress, material and billing data to it, builds the pieces of custom software your workflow needs, and adds automation where site or billing tracking is still done by hand.

  • Connects to your existing ERP, no replacement required.
  • Custom software for the site or billing gaps a generic module misses.
  • AI automation for repetitive material and billing checks.

What It Covers

Everything Tracked on Your Sites, in One System

Progress recorded per site, not estimated at head office

Each site logs its own progress against its own schedule. Head office sees every site's status in one view instead of waiting for a phone call or a monthly report to find out where a site actually stands.

  • Progress logged per site, per activity.
  • Delays flagged as soon as they show up on site.
  • One view for all active sites, not separate spreadsheets.

Bills checked against work orders and BOQ before approval

Every subcontractor bill is matched against the work order it belongs to and the BOQ quantities it draws against, so approvals are based on what was actually done, not what was invoiced.

  • Work orders linked to specific BOQ line items.
  • Bills flagged automatically if they exceed agreed quantities.
  • Approval history kept against every bill.

Labor, equipment and safety documentation kept per site

Labor and equipment allocation is tracked per site so idle resources are visible, and safety and compliance documentation is logged with every inspection instead of kept on paper at the site office.

  • Labor and equipment assignments visible across sites.
  • Safety checks logged with time and site details.
  • Compliance records ready when an inspection asks for them.

What's Included

Everything a construction company needs tracked in one system

Site-Wise Progress Tracking

Progress recorded per site as work happens, instead of an estimate built at head office once a month.

Material & BOQ Consumption Tracking

Material drawn and used on site checked against BOQ quantities, so overuse is caught early, not at closeout.

Subcontractor Billing & Work Order Management

Work orders and subcontractor bills tracked against agreed rates and completed work before approval.

Labor & Equipment Allocation

Labor and equipment assigned and tracked per site, so idle time and double-booking are visible.

Client Billing & Milestone Tracking

Client bills raised against agreed milestones, tied to the same progress data your site team records.

How It Works

From your current site workflow to a running system

Step 1

Map

We review how progress, material and subcontractor billing move across your current sites.

Step 2

Scope

We agree which sites, tracking and billing pieces to build first, and a fixed timeline.

Step 3

Build

Site progress tracking, BOQ consumption and subcontractor billing are built and tested against your data.

Step 4

Launch

The system goes live on your active sites and is watched closely in the first weeks of use.

Step 5

Support

The same team stays available for support and changes as new sites come online.

  • ERPNext · Building Contractor12 wkFrom kickoff to live

    A building contractor ran each site on its own spreadsheet, so overruns showed up at handover and billing was a monthly scramble. ERPNext put BOQ, procurement, billing and cost on one system.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

What does TCB Infotech do for construction companies?

We build site-wise progress tracking, material and BOQ consumption tracking, and subcontractor billing that connects to your existing ERP, so site data and head office numbers match without manual reconciliation.

Does this replace our existing ERP or project software?

No. The software and AI we build connects to your existing ERP or project system rather than asking you to replace it.

Can subcontractor billing be tracked against the BOQ automatically?

Yes. Subcontractor work orders and bills can be tracked against BOQ line items and site progress, so bills are checked against actual material and work completed before approval.

How long does a construction company engagement usually take?

Most engagements move from process mapping to a working pilot within a few months. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we review your current site, material and billing workflow.

Is there support after the system goes live?

Yes. The same team that builds the system stays available for support and changes as new sites come online.

Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?

Yes. Most engagements combine ERP integration, a piece of custom software for a site or billing workflow a generic module does not cover, and AI where it removes manual tracking work, scoped as one project.
