Cost & CommercialAvailable now
For commercial managers, quantity surveyors and project managers who own the budget, the variations and the claims on every package.
Hivenox Construction OS capability
Cost & Commercial holds the money side of every job in Hivenox Construction OS: budgets, commitments, variations, progress claims and retention, by package and cost code. Each figure links to the instruction, invoice or clause behind it, so cost-to-complete reflects what is happening on site, not last month's report. The Commercial Intelligence AI Worker is designed to flag unpriced variations and margin fade; the commercial manager decides.
Workflows
The work itself, named the way the people who run it name it.
The budget by package and cost code, with commitments from subcontracts and purchase orders and actuals from your ERP. Budget, committed, actual and forecast sit side by side for each package, and cost-to-complete moves as the records change, not at month-end.
Each site instruction logged as a variation the day it is given, with photos and the clause it falls under. Priced from the contract rates, approved and tracked through to the final account, so nothing is argued from memory at the end.
Head contract claims built from the work in place and the approved variations. Subcontractor claims checked against the subcontract, approved variations and evidence before the payment schedule goes out, and each schedule records what will be paid and why any amount is withheld.
Retention and security held per contract, with release dates tied to practical completion and the end of the defects liability period, and the amounts held and due shown by job.
Every subcontractor invoice matched to the subcontract, purchase order and approved variations, with retention applied and over-claims and duplicates flagged before anyone approves it. Accounts payable reviews the exceptions, not every line.
