Of Construction Budgets
Allocate budget based on construction stages or buildings. Track Forecast to Complete (FTC) and Estimate at Completion (EAC). Control budgets through versions and approval locks. Forecast profitability, manage accruals, and sync financial data with integrated accounting or ERP software.
Automate data flow between your ERP or accounting software and Bauwise. When integrated, construction-related invoices flow directly into Bauwise for approval and return to the ERP or accounting software enriched with data — cost allocations, budget lines, and approver info — no double work required.
Get a structured, automated framework to plan, forecast, and monitor construction cash flow across all project stages. Generate cash flow forecasting baselines with one click, fill past periods with actual cost and revenue data, and align projections with the project’s Cost-at-Completion (CAC). Refine future forecasts, adjust monthly distributions, and manage approvals through version-controlled tracking.
Automate commitments — create purchase orders (PO) and subcontractor contracts directly from budget lines. Manage scope changes, variations, and back charges from Applications for Payment (AfP) in real time. Track actuals, advances, and accruals at every stage. Allocate contingency reserves, forecast accurately, and centralize all vendor data for better procurement decisions.
Track, review, and approve construction project scope changes. Submit change order requests with attachments, automatically calculate their impact on project cost, and adjust budgets upon approval. Maintain versioned audit trails and status tracking to ensure compliance, transparency, and project continuity.
Automate purchase invoice processing with AI-powered data extraction, pre-defined approval workflows and unique invoice allocations. Link invoices directly to purchase orders (PO), contracts or Applications for Payments (AfPs). Manage consolidated invoices for multiple projects between different teams. Meet governance standards, and comply with internal financial policies.
Accelerate month-end reporting between Contractors and Subcontractors by streamlining the Applications for Payment process into a structured, auditable workflows. Initiate change orders and track progress, apply retentions and back charges with full compliance. A dedicated Subcontractor portal, automated notifications, and digital validation keep all parties aligned.
Review and approve construction invoices directly from your mobile device. Capture receipts and invoices — the Bauwise Mobile App uses AI-powered image recognition to extract data from images. Allocate receipts and invoices using Bauwise Purchase Invoice Management module.
Bauwise equips construction CEOs with an automated cost management tool to maintain financial control, efficiency, and profitability across expanding portfolios. The cost management software links budgets, forecasts, contracts, and purchase orders in one system, enforcing approval workflows that preserve budget integrity and accuracy. Chief Executive Officers gain real-time visibility into consolidated portfolio performance, safeguarding project continuity, automating reporting, and simplifying construction portfolio management.
Bauwise provides an automated cost management solution for construction CFOs to obtain timely, verified financial data for cash flow and refinancing decisions. The software consolidates construction budgets, contracts, purchase orders, change orders, invoices, and Applications for Payment into a unified data source, ensuring all figures are validated, traceable, and audit-ready before reaching financial statements. Chief Financial Officers can track contingency budgets and risk reserves, gain visibility into liquidity, flag budget overruns early, and forecast portfolio-level cash flow.
Bauwise helps Construction Managers and Division Managers ensure all construction project costs are reported and accounted for, using an automated construction cost management tool. The software tracks linked budgets, contracts, purchase orders, and change orders, so every commitment is recorded, allocated, and tied to the correct project and cost code. Construction and Division Managers can leverage automated purchase invoice and Application for Payment validation rules with audit trails, compare planned versus actual costs in real time, and monitor division-level performance across projects.
Bauwise supports Construction Quantity Surveyors with an automated cost management solution to plan and manage full cycle construction costs — from forecasting and tendering to variation valuations and reporting. The software reconciles interim valuations, change orders, and actual costs in real time, updating forecasts and Estimate at Completion (EAC) automatically once costs are approved. It generates RFQs and tender packages, standardizes bids formats, and applies approval workflows. Links approved variations to their related contracts and cost codes, calculating their budget, commitments and EAC impact.

In most regions, main contractor and general contractor mean the same thing: the company that holds the primary contract with the client and is responsible for delivering the project, managing subcontractors, and controlling cost, schedule, and quality. The naming shifts by market — main contractor is more common in the UK/Europe, while general contractor is standard in North America — but the role and responsibilities are effectively identical.
Industrial contractors work on multi-year, engineering-heavy projects with process systems, MEP, heavy mechanical equipment, and long-lead items that are tightly interdependent. Design changes, construction/installation sequence changes, or equipment delays can ripple through several contracts at once, shifting commitments, forecasts, and risk much more than on a typical commercial building project. On top of that, cost data often sits in separate engineering, procurement, and field reporting systems, so keeping one reliable view of commitments, EAC, and actuals across the full project lifecycle is significantly harder than in standard building projects.
For commercial contractors, the main cost-control challenge is protecting margin across many simultaneous mid-sized projects. Each site can involve hundreds of subcontractors, generating tens of thousands of change orders, purchase invoices, and Applications for Payment — with financial information scattered across spreadsheets, email, and ERP/accounting systems. By the time the figures are manually consolidated, overruns are already tied to completed work, leaving less room to reforecast remaining costs or adjust upcoming scope in a way that protects margin.
The RIBA Plan of Work is the UK construction sector’s most widely recognised framework, providing a common set of stages used by architects,
