CONSTRUCTION ERP
Back to overview/Material management

Track material from procurement to consumption.

Project stores, deliveries, transfers, site issues, consumption against activity and reconciliation of planned against actual usage — with waste made visible rather than absorbed.

The problem

Material is typically the largest cost line on a construction project and the least controlled. It is purchased against a requirement, delivered to a site with no stores discipline, and consumed without being booked to an activity.

The result is a variance nobody can explain: material cost exceeds the estimate, and the only available explanation is wastage — which is a category, not a diagnosis.

Core workflow

Requirement to reconciliation.

01
Requirement
From BOQ quantities and the look-ahead programme.
02
Delivery
Receipt against the purchase order, with inspection.
03
Project store
Stock held per project, per store, with location.
04
Site issue
Issued to an activity or a work front, not to a site.
05
Consumption
Booked against the BOQ line and the cost code.
06
Reconciliation
Planned vs. actual usage, with waste quantified.

Material reconciliation, per project

Ranges observed on Al Jawad engagements. Targets agreed in assessment.

Reconcile one month of material on one site.

We reconcile deliveries, issues and consumption for one project and quantify what wastage actually is.
