Context

Construction and interior projects rely on multiple contractors operating across different sites, timelines, and scopes. Work orders, BOQs, measurement sheets, RA bills, and payments are often handled through spreadsheets, emails, and verbal confirmations. This creates gaps between what is executed on-site and what gets billed and paid. A structured billing system ensures that project progress, verified quantities, and financial transactions are tightly connected, reducing ambiguity and improving control.

Who this is for

We work best with teams who treat software as an operating system for the business, not a one-off project.

Good fit

Construction companies managing multiple contractors
Interior and fit-out firms handling site-based billing
EPC contractors tracking project progress and payments
Developers overseeing subcontractor cost control

Not a fit

Small projects without structured BOQs
Businesses not issuing work orders
Firms without subcontractor billing processes
Teams not requiring RA bill workflows

The operating reality

Project costs escalate when contractor billing lacks structure and transparency.

Manual measurement tracking leads to inconsistencies between site records and billed quantities. RA bills are often delayed due to unclear approval ownership and missing validations. Finance teams struggle to match work completed with invoices raised, while site engineers spend time resolving disputes instead of progressing work. Payment cycles become unpredictable, retention and deductions are miscalculated, and contractor trust weakens over time. Without a unified workflow, project-level cost visibility remains incomplete and reactive.

How this is usually solved

Common approaches

Where it falls short

Common approaches

Manual measurement sheets maintained in spreadsheets
Billing approvals handled through calls and emails
Separate tracking of project progress and financial data
Delayed reconciliation of contractor invoices and payments

Where it falls short

Frequent disagreements on billed quantities
Unpredictable and delayed contractor payments
Limited visibility into project-wise costs
Errors in retention, deductions, and adjustments

Core capabilities we implement

Building blocks that keep delivery predictable under real operating load.

Work Order and BOQ Management

Define detailed work orders linked to BOQs, quantities, and project scopes for accurate billing foundations.

Digital Measurement Sheets

Capture completed work quantities on-site with structured entries, timestamps, and supporting images.

RA Bill Automation

Generate running account bills automatically based on approved measurements and contract terms.

Approval and Authorization Workflow

Implement multi-level validation to ensure every bill is reviewed and approved before payment.

Retention and Deduction Management

Systematically manage advances, retention amounts, penalties, and adjustments without manual errors.

Contractor Portal and Reporting

Provide contractors and teams with clear bill status, history, and project-wise cost insights.

How we approach delivery

Step 1
Map contractor workflows from BOQ to final payout
Step 2
Digitise measurement capture and approval at site level
Step 3
Connect billing directly with accounting and payment processes
Step 4
Build dashboards for real-time cost and progress visibility

Engineering standards at PySquad

We design contractor billing systems around actual construction workflows, not generic accounting setups. Starting from BOQs and work orders, we structure how measurements are captured, verified, and approved on-site. RA billing is then automated based on these validated quantities, with built-in approval hierarchies and financial rules. The system connects directly with accounting to ensure every approved bill flows into payments, deductions, and ledgers without manual intervention. The focus is on creatin

Expected outcomes
