Administrative issues in the building and public works sector

In the building and civil engineering sector, administrative management is often perceived as a time-consuming burden, disconnected from the reality of the field. Yet efficient organisation of estimates, invoices, forecasts and accounting work is essential to ensure the profitability and sound management of construction sites.

Building companies, craftsmen, SMEs, site managers and accountants have to juggle a large volume of documents, often scattered between the office and the field. Managing supplier invoices, work progress reports, advance payments and purchase orders requires rigour, responsiveness and traceability. A simple error or delay in processing can lead to cash flow problems, disputes or payment penalties.
Added to this is the multiplicity of parties involved: project owners, subcontractors, suppliers, accountants, etc. Each of them sends documents in different formats at different times, which makes administrative follow-up more complex. The risk of losing information is high, and the time spent looking for an invoice or chasing up a payment is time wasted on the site. It’s easy to see how important it is toautomate construction management processes, particularly through cost accounting tools, or site monitoring and invoicing solutions.
