Construction add-on
When drawings become a site, the numbers change hands. Contracts, variations, claims and cash on site sit beside the same project, phases and people you already run in Smartnatic. One add-on for the whole firm, not per seat.
Every trade and every project shows what you estimated, what has been committed in contracts, and what has actually been paid. The gap between them is the conversation you need to have with your client, before it becomes a surprise.
Build the plan by trade group, or push measured quantities straight from your drawing sheets into it with a rate. Contingency is tracked as its own line, so you can see how much is left.
Each contract is tagged to its package and trade. Variations add to the contract sum the moment they are approved, so the committed figure is never the number from three months ago.
Claims are certified against the contract they belong to, with retention held back automatically. Paid to date and remaining are always current.
The same four steps on every package, with the paper trail kept for you.
Create the tender, list the bidders, record each bid as it arrives.
Bids line up against your estimate. Under budget shows clearly, over budget shows clearly, and the variance is calculated for you.
The chosen bid becomes the contract sum. Committed cost on the project updates at once.
Variations, progress claims and retention run against that contract until the final account.
Everything below is switched on for the whole firm with one add-on. Your design-side seats and prices do not change.
Each early-estimate line sits next to what was actually signed and paid for that trade, so you can see which estimates held and which did not.
Issue a dated cost report to the client whenever you need one. Every report is kept, so you can show how the forecast final cost moved and why.
A team member draws a lump sum for spending on site, then itemises what it went on. The difference shows plainly, with no spreadsheet to reconcile at month end.
Keep a register of what the firm owns or hires, assign items to a project, and carry a daily rate so the cost lands on the right job.
People on site do not need the whole practice system. They get one clear screen for their projects, their advances and what they need to record today.
One view for the partners: estimated, committed and paid for every project under construction, with all contracts listed in one place.
No. Phases, deliverables, gates, fees and invoices are all in the standard seat. The add-on is for practices that administer the building contract or manage site spending.
Neither. It is $39 a month for the whole firm. Site team members are separate: the first three are free, and further ones are ordinary paid seats.
Only what you choose to share. Clients see their project through the client portal. Contractors do not get access to your cost plan or to other bids.
No. It tracks the construction budget you manage for the client. Your own books, payroll and tax stay in your accounting system.
Yes. The 14-day trial includes the construction add-on. Only the AI Advisor and the free website wait until you choose a plan.
