Construction ERP
BOQ to final bill — every bag, worker, machine hour and subcontractor charged to the right project
Meezan ERP set up for a sample construction business: its own documents, vouchers and WhatsApp automation. It plays by itself — click any screen to take over, or type your company name and press the button.
What the demo shows — 10 screens
- Projects dashboardWork done, cost against budget, labour on site and money position across all projects — on the owner's WhatsApp twice a day.
- BOQ budget vs actualThe tender BOQ is the budget — each item shows how much has been used against the work actually done.
- Site material requestThe site engineer asks for material against BOQ items — the store balance and need date are on the same request.
- Site store ledgerWhat came into the site store, what went to work, and what is left — checked every evening.
- Labour attendance & wagesDaily attendance by trade turns into the weekly wage sheet — no more paying on the munshi's word.
- Machinery hours & dieselHours from each machine's log book against the diesel issued — litres per hour above the norm are flagged.
- Subcontractor paymentThe finishing subcontractor's certified bill paid — retention held and withholding tax deducted on the same voucher.
- Running bill (IPC)The interim payment certificate to the client — work done to date, retention and mobilisation advance recovered.
- WhatsApp — ownerThe owner approves the site's material request and a subcontractor payment from WhatsApp, and gets the night report.
- WhatsApp — site & vendorsThe site engineer requests cement from the slab and the supplier confirms delivery — straight into the ERP.
How Meezan ERP runs a construction business
A contractor can win the tender and still lose the job: cement used beyond the BOQ, diesel burnt by an idle excavator, a subcontractor paid twice for the same plaster, retention and mobilisation advance forgotten until the final bill. Meezan ERP holds the BOQ as the budget for each project and charges every site material request, store issue, labour day, machine hour and subcontractor bill against it. Running bills are prepared as IPCs with retention and advance recovery, so the owner sees a live profit and loss for every project, not just the bank balance.
Usual weak points
- Material sent to site with no link to the BOQ item it was for
- Labour attendance on a register, wages paid on the munshi's word
- Machinery diesel issued by the drum, hours never matched
- Retention and mobilisation advance recovery tracked in a separate Excel sheet
How Meezan ERP covers them
- BOQ per project with budget, quantity used and work done side by side
- Site material requests, site store receipts and issues charged to BOQ items
- Daily labour attendance by trade with wages, and machine hours with diesel per hour
- Subcontractor bills and IPCs with retention, advance recovery and WHT
