Contract and project
The contract, site or job provides context for sales, costs, advances and later settlements.
CONSTRUCTION · PROJECTS · SUBCONTRACTORS
Construction accounting should reflect the whole project flow
One project can combine contracts, materials, subcontractors, equipment, transport, employees and payments. We define a practical document-labelling and responsibility model so accounting does not have to reconstruct the project later.
PROJECT FLOW
Six places where accounting data originates
We do not impose one model on every contractor. We first identify where documents originate and who knows the context of each cost or settlement.
Materials and deliveries
Material, freight and delivery documents should carry the project or stage information agreed for the workflow.
Subcontractors
Supplier and subcontractor documents need to connect with the specific work, counterparty and settlement period.
Equipment and transport
Machinery, vehicles, leases and specialist services create costs that need the right documents and agreed descriptions.
Team
Payroll and personnel information can be coordinated with accounting under one recurring handover rhythm.
Settlements and accounting
Sales, purchases, bank data and project information are reconciled before period accounting and reporting.
DOCUMENT CHECKPOINT
A document without project context often comes back as a question
At the start we agree the minimum information that should accompany documents. The goal is not extra bureaucracy, but enough context to classify and explain transactions reliably.

Equipment and vehicles
Leases, fixed assets, equipment and agreed operating costs.
Payroll and HR
Wages, contracts, social security and information supplied on the agreed timetable.
Bank and settlements
Receipts, payments, receivables and payables that need reconciliation.
