Cost against the project
Purchasing, labour, plant, and expenses all post to the project, so cost is a running figure.
Know what a site costs before the project's over, not after.
Construction ERP that pulls site procurement, labour, plant, and expenses onto one project — so material orders, crew days, fuel, and supplier invoices add up to a cost you can see while there's still time to act on it.
On a construction project, the money leaves in a dozen directions at once — materials ordered from site, a crew that changes week to week, plant and fuel, subcontractor invoices — and it usually isn't added up until the job is done and the margin is whatever's left. By then it's too late to do anything about it. Farexa's answer is to make the project the thing everything posts to: purchasing, labour, plant, and expenses all land against it, so project cost is a running number rather than a post-mortem.
Purchasing from site gets the control it usually lacks. A purchase request becomes a purchase order with approval before it's committed, goods are received against it, and the supplier invoice is checked against what was ordered and delivered before it's paid — so the classic leaks, buying without authority and paying for what never arrived, are closed. Manpower deployment tracks who was on which site, plant and vehicles carry their fuel and maintenance, and site expenses post with their category and evidence.
The point isn't more paperwork; it's that the project manager, the buyer, the yard, and the accountant are all looking at the same job. When the numbers live together, an owner can see a project drifting over budget in time to change something, instead of finding out at handover.
Key features
How Farexa maps to a construction site.
Controlled site procurement
Requests become approved purchase orders, received and invoice-checked before payment.
Manpower deployment
Track who was deployed to which site, with attendance behind the hours.
Plant and vehicles
Site vehicles and plant carry their fuel, maintenance, and document renewals.
Site expenses with evidence
Petty cash and site costs post against the project with their category and receipt.
Supplier invoice checking
Match supplier invoices to orders and receipts before they're approved for payment.
Approvals that delegate authority
Commit spend through approvals, so buying power is delegated deliberately.
Project cost reporting
Read cost by project across materials, labour, plant, and expenses.
How it works
From project setup to running cost.
01
Set up the project. Create the project, its branches or sites, suppliers, crews, plant, and approval paths.
02
Buy for site under control. Raise purchase requests, approve them into POs, receive materials, and check supplier invoices.
03
Deploy labour and plant. Assign crews to sites with attendance behind the hours, and track plant fuel and maintenance.
04
Capture site spend. Post petty cash and site expenses against the project with category and evidence.
05
Watch the project cost. Read the running project cost across materials, labour, plant, and expenses — before handover, not after.
Who it's for
Who builds with it.
- Main contractors — Project cost visibility across procurement, labour, and plant on every job.
- Civil and MEP contractors — Site purchasing and manpower controlled against the project.
- Fit-out and finishing firms — Materials and crews tracked to the job rather than reconciled at the end.
- Project managers, buyers, and owners — PMs run the site, buyers commit under approval, owners read cost by project.
Works with
The app cluster for construction.
- Procurement — Controlled site buying — requests, POs, receiving, invoice checking.
- Manpower — Crews and labour deployed and billed against the project.
- Fleet — Site vehicles and plant, with fuel, maintenance, and renewals.
- Expenses — Petty cash and site costs posted to the project.
- Analytics — Project cost reporting across every category.
FAQ
What contractors ask first.
Can I see a project's cost while it's still running?
Yes. Purchasing, labour, plant, and expenses all post against the project, so project cost is a running figure rather than something worked out at handover — which is what lets an owner react to a job drifting over budget in time to change something.
How is site purchasing controlled?
A purchase request becomes an approved purchase order before it's committed, goods are received against it, and the supplier invoice is checked against the order and the receipt before payment. That closes the two classic leaks — buying without authority and paying for what never arrived.
Does it track labour and plant on site?
Yes. Manpower deployment tracks who was on which site with attendance behind the hours, and site vehicles and plant carry their fuel, maintenance, and document renewals — all posting to the project cost.
Can it handle multiple sites or projects at once?
Yes. Projects, branches, and sites are first-class, so purchasing, crews, and costs stay separated by job while an owner reads across all of them.
Which Farexa apps does a contractor start with?
Usually Procurement and Manpower first — controlled buying and crew deployment are where the biggest leaks are — then Fleet, Expenses, and Analytics as the project-cost picture fills in. You can start with the most urgent and add the rest.
