Construction ERP
Construction ERP that knows what each project really costs.
Budgets, site stock, subcontractors and progress bills, each kept against its project. What a site spends is in your accounts the day it happens, not when the job is over.
- A budget for every project
- Site stores
- Progress billing
- Retention
Does a project month look like this?
be honestYou find out a job lost money when it ends.
Costs sit in bills, site diaries and spreadsheets, and nobody adds them up against the budget until the handover.
Material goes to site and disappears.
Cement and steel bought for one project are used on another, and the site stores register is a notebook.
Every progress bill starts from the last one.
Someone copies last month’s Excel, works out the retention by hand and hopes the totals still match.

Construction questions people ask us.
What is construction ERP?
Construction ERP runs your projects, site stock, purchasing, subcontractors, billing and accounts in one system, so each project’s real cost is known while it is still running.
Can I see profit for each project?
Yes. Every cost and every bill carries its project, so each project has its own budget, cost to date and billing, read from the same books as the company’s accounts.
Does it handle retention?
Yes. Retention held by your client is kept on its own account until it is released, so it never gets lost among ordinary receivables.
Can site teams use it?
Yes. PrimoERP runs in a web browser, so a site engineer can raise a request or issue material from site. Each person sees only the projects they are given.
Does it handle GST and VAT?
Yes. Tax comes from the country pack: GST and TDS in India, VAT in the UAE. Progress bills and subcontractor bills carry their tax like any other invoice or bill.
Can we run payroll for site workers?
Yes. Attendance, leave and payroll are part of PrimoERP. A site can set its own leave blackout dates, for example in the weeks before a handover.
We use Excel or Tally today. Can we move?
Yes. We bring in your customers, suppliers, items, open projects and opening balances, then check the numbers with you before you go live.
How long does it take to set up?
[Typical go-live time, to confirm.] Setup, data migration and training come as an onboarding package with a published price, and we sit with you in go-live week.
