Odoo ERP for Construction
and Project Businesses

A project is profitable or not long before the final bill is raised. We configure Odoo so committed cost, site consumption, and subcontractor liability are visible while the work is still running.

  • Project-wise budget, committed cost, and actuals
  • Site material issue and stock control
  • Subcontractor work orders and running bills
  • Progress billing with retention and advances
Sector challenges

Where project margin is lost

Cost overruns are discovered at completion because commitments are tracked outside the accounts.

No Committed Cost View

Purchase orders raised at site never appear against the project budget.

Site Material Leakage

Material issued to site is not reconciled against work completed.

Subcontractor Disputes

Measurements and deductions are agreed verbally, then argued at billing.

Delayed Progress Billing

Running account bills are prepared weeks after the milestone.

Retention Forgotten

Retention amounts are not tracked to release date.

Equipment Idle

Plant and machinery are hired longer than the schedule requires.
