Verity for construction companies

The work is done on site. The money is decided in the office. Verity joins the two.

A construction company makes money on measured work, billed on time, bought at a good price and finished on schedule. At each of these, site and office usually disagree for weeks. Verity puts quantities, material, subcontractors, labour and client bills on one record, so the number is the same on both sides.

Verity in one line

One system that knows every site, every quantity done, every material received, every subcontractor bill and every client bill still to be raised or collected.

Free: we set up a working demo of your own business, on your own data, within 7 days. You pay only if your team decides to use it.

No new team needed. Site engineers, purchase, accounts and planning keep their roles and share one record.

How it runs today

Most construction firms build on schedule in the head and late on paper.

On site, everyone knows what is happening. The slab is poured. The steel came in short on Tuesday. The electrical subcontractor has started the second floor. The problem is that this knowledge is held by the site engineer, the purchase manager and the project manager, and each holds a different part of it.

In the office, the client’s running bill is prepared from measurement sheets that are two weeks old. A subcontractor bill is passed without a check against what the site actually measured. Material issues are noted in a register that is reconciled, if at all, at the end of the month.

So work is done and not billed, materials disappear into wastage nobody tracks, and subcontractors are paid for more than they did. Each is small. Together they decide whether a project makes or loses money.

What most construction companies run on

  • Measurement sheets in Excel
  • Accounts software or Tally
  • Site WhatsApp groups
  • Drawings in folders and email
  • Material registers on paper

Each of these is how a site really works. The cost is that nobody sees the whole project in one place.

15 problems, one by one

Where a construction company actually loses money.

These are the situations project managers, site engineers, purchase heads and owners describe again and again. For each one: what it looks like on an ordinary day, what it costs, and what Verity does about it.

  1. 01Billing

    Work is done but the client bill is raised late

    What it looks like

    The second-floor slab was cast on the 4th. The measurement is agreed with the client’s consultant on the 12th. The running account bill goes out on the 28th, because the quantity surveyor had other sites to do first.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: a ₹40 lakh running bill raised four weeks late is cash you did not have for four weeks. At a 12 percent borrowing rate that is about ₹37,000, besides the strain on the next payment to your suppliers.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each contract item has a quantity and a rate. Site records the quantity done and the consultant’s certification. Verity builds the next running bill from certified quantities and shows the gap between work done and work billed.

    See the screen
  2. 02Billing

    Retention, advances and deductions are tracked on paper

    What it looks like

    The client holds 5 percent retention on every bill. An advance of ₹60 lakh was given at the start and is recovered in instalments. Six months later, nobody is sure what is still held or when it is due to be released.

    What it costs you

    Retention is cash earned and not received. Lost or forgotten, it is profit that never reaches the account.

    How Verity fixes it

    Retention, advance recovery and other deductions are recorded on every bill. Verity lists what is held per contract, its release date and the condition, such as a defect liability period ending.

    See the screen
  3. 03Billing

    Variations and extra work are done on a verbal word

    What it looks like

    The client’s architect asks for a changed finish on the lobby and an extra beam. The site engineer agrees to avoid delay. Three months later the client says it was in scope.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: ₹18 lakh of extra work without a written approval is ₹18 lakh you may argue for and not recover.

    How Verity fixes it

    A change request is a record: description, quantity, rate, who asked, who approved and the drawing revision. Work against a change that is not yet approved is flagged, and the approved value is added to the contract billing.

    See the screen
  4. 04Materials

    Material is ordered in a hurry and bought dear

    What it looks like

    The site engineer calls the purchase manager at 6 pm: steel is finishing tomorrow. The order goes to the nearest supplier at whatever rate is quoted. The comparison with the contract rate never happens.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: a 4 percent premium on ₹50 lakh of urgent purchases a month is ₹2 lakh a month.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each site raises an indent against the planned quantity. Purchase sees the quotes next to the last rate paid and the contract allowance, and a purchase order is issued only after approval.

    See the screen
  5. 05Materials

    Cement and steel go missing between the gate and the slab

    What it looks like

    The delivery challan says 12 tonnes. The weighbridge slip was never attached. The store register shows issues that seem higher than the work done. At month end, a shortage is “wastage”.

    What it costs you

    Material is often the largest cost on a project. A few percent of unexplained wastage across a year is lakhs, and nobody can name where it went.

    How Verity fixes it

    Receipts are recorded against the purchase order with quantity checked. Issues are recorded against the work item. Verity compares material issued with the quantity of work done and flags a gap beyond the allowed wastage.

    See the screen
  6. 06Subcontractors

    Subcontractor bills are paid without being checked against measured work

    What it looks like

    The shuttering contractor submits a bill for 80 percent of the work. The site engineer thinks it is nearer 65. The bill is settled in a call between the contractor and the director on the last day of the month.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: a 10 percent overpayment on a ₹3 crore work order is ₹30 lakh. It is usually early billing, not fraud, but it is still your money gone out before the work.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each work order has a bill schedule. A subcontractor bill is compared with the measured quantity and needs the engineer’s sign-off, then the project manager’s, before accounts releases it. Retention and advances are tracked on the same record.

    See the screen
  7. 07Subcontractors

    Small subcontractors wait for payment and walk off site

    What it looks like

    A small electrical contractor has been waiting 70 days. His men stop coming on Monday. The project falls two weeks behind for a bill worth ₹4 lakh that was stuck in an approval.

    What it costs you

    A delayed site costs far more than the bill. If the subcontractor is a micro or small enterprise, the tax law also generally allows a deduction for amounts owed only when paid within the 45-day limit.

    How Verity fixes it

    Every bill shows its age and where it is waiting. Verity lists bills nearing the due date by approver, and a stuck bill is flagged before the contractor stops work.

    See the screen
  8. 08Site

    Progress is known by the site engineer, not by the project plan

    What it looks like

    The programme says the third floor should be complete by the 20th. The site WhatsApp group shows some photographs. Nobody can say, without a call, whether the plan is four days or four weeks behind.

    What it costs you

    Delays found late cost liquidated damages and idle crews. Government project tracking shows how common delay is: in March 2024, 779 of 1,873 central projects tracked were reported delayed.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each site files a short daily report: work done by item, labour, material received, issues and photographs. Progress is shown against the programme, and the slip is a number on the project manager’s screen.

    See the screen
  9. 09Site

    Drawing changes do not reach the people doing the work

    What it looks like

    Revision C of the column schedule was issued last week. The shuttering gang is working from revision B. Rework is discovered after the concrete is poured.

    What it costs you

    Demolition and recasting. A single wrongly poured column can cost days and a lot of material.

    How Verity fixes it

    Drawings are records with revision numbers and an issued date. When a revision is issued, Verity assigns an acknowledgement task to the site engineer and the supervisor, and shows which revision each work item is on.

    See the screen
  10. 10Labour

    Labour headcount, attendance and wages are not matched to work done

    What it looks like

    A labour contractor says 60 workers were on site. The gate register says 48. Payment is made for 60. Productivity per worker is not known for any trade.

    What it costs you

    Paying for people who were not there, and no basis to say if a gang is slow. Labour is a major part of the cost of a site.

    How Verity fixes it

    Attendance is recorded by gang and trade each day. Verity compares headcount with work done per trade, shows productivity, and ties the labour contractor’s bill to recorded days.

    See the screen
  11. 11Compliance

    The construction workers’ cess and registers are done in a rush

    What it looks like

    Construction workers’ welfare cess has to be paid on the cost of construction, certified by an engineer, and a final assessment is due after each work is finished. The cost figure sits in three different files.

    What it costs you

    Interest or penalties for late payment, and time spent each time an inspector asks for a register.

    How Verity fixes it

    The cost of construction per work is on the project record. Verity shows the cess calculation inputs, the due dates for advance and final assessments, and the worker register for each site.

    See the screen
  12. 12Compliance

    Site safety checks and incidents are not recorded

    What it looks like

    A scaffold inspection is meant to be done every week. It was done on three sites and skipped on two. A worker is hurt, and the first question is what the last inspection recorded.

    What it costs you

    Injury, stoppage, and a record you cannot produce when asked. Insurance and client contracts also ask for safety logs.

    How Verity fixes it

    Inspections are scheduled checklists per site with photographs and sign-off. Missed ones are listed by site, and incidents are records with a cause, an action and an owner.

    See the screen
  13. 13Equipment

    Machines sit idle on one site while another hires the same machine

    What it looks like

    A concrete mixer is parked at site B. Site A hires one for ₹1,800 a day. Nobody knows what you own, where it is or when it was last serviced.

    What it costs you

    Hire charges for equipment you already own, and breakdowns from missed servicing.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each machine is an asset record with site, hours, service date and operator. A request on one site first shows what you own that is idle elsewhere, and service dates raise tasks.

    See the screen
  14. 14Cash

    Cash is tight across ten sites and nobody can see by how much

    What it looks like

    Two sites are waiting for client payment. Three have vendor bills due this week. The director decides which to pay by looking at the bank balance and asking the accounts head.

    What it costs you

    Late payment fees to suppliers, borrowing when you did not need to, and strained relationships on the sites that matter most.

    How Verity fixes it

    Bills raised, bills received, payments due to subcontractors and suppliers, and retention held are shown for each project and for the company, by week. The gap is visible before the week starts.

    See the screen
  15. 15Owner

    The profit on a project is known only after it finishes

    What it looks like

    The budget was ₹12 crore. Costs have been tracked in four places. At the end, the accounts head says the margin was 3 percent, not the 9 percent in the estimate. By then nothing can be changed.

    What it costs you

    A problem you could have fixed at 40 percent of the project is found at 100 percent.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each project carries a budget by cost head. Costs from purchases, subcontractor bills and labour are recorded against it as they happen, so the likely margin is a live number from the start.

    See the screen

The numbers behind it

The numbers that make these problems worth fixing.

From published sources, with the source named under each figure. Some are a few years old and are shown with their dates. Your own numbers will differ, and showing you yours is the first thing Verity does.

The delay and overrun figures are for large central government infrastructure projects, not private building work, so they show how common slippage is, not what your sites will see. The cess and payment rules come from commentary sites and should be confirmed against the notification and the statute.

Rules and paperwork

The rules a construction company has to keep up with.

Verity does not give legal or tax advice and does not file anything for you. It keeps the records these rules depend on in order, so your accountant is not rebuilding them from site registers.

  • Construction workers’ welfare cess

    What is expected

    An employer doing building or other construction work generally pays a welfare cess on the cost of construction, with an advance self-assessment and a final one within 60 days of completing each work. A May 2026 notification is reported to set it at 1 percent.

    How Verity helps

    The certified cost of construction for each work sits on the project record, with the due dates and the register for each site.

    Taxmann, BOCW Cess under the Code on Social Security 2020

  • Labour codes and worker records

    What is expected

    The four labour codes are reported to have taken effect on 21 November 2025. Contractors and principal employers have duties on registration, wages and records for site workers, which depend on headcount and state rules.

    How Verity helps

    Gang attendance, trade and days are recorded each day, so the registers are built from records, not from memory.

  • Payment to micro and small suppliers

    What is expected

    Under Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, amounts owed to micro and small enterprises generally need to be paid within 45 days under a written agreement, or 15 days without one, for the deduction to be allowed in the same year.

    How Verity helps

    Every subcontractor and supplier bill shows its age and whether the party is a micro or small enterprise, so due dates are visible.

    ClearTax, Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act

  • Contract terms: retention, defect liability and delay damages

    What is expected

    Your contracts set retention, advance recovery, liquidated damages for delay and the defect liability period. These terms decide when money is released or deducted.

    How Verity helps

    Each term is recorded on the contract, and the dates that trigger them show on the project screen.

Rules change and differ by state. Confirm current requirements with your accountant, your lawyer and the relevant authority.

Who sees what

Everyone sees the same records, through their own window.

A site engineer should not see company profit. Accounts should not approve measured work. Each role opens on what it needs.

  • Owner or director

    Which project is making money and which needs cash?

    Done and billed, cash due in and out, progress against plan, retention held and projected margin by project.

  • Project manager

    What is behind and what is waiting for me?

    Programme against actual, subcontractor bills for sign-off, change requests, hold-ups and site reports.

  • Site engineer

    What do I record and receive today?

    Daily report, indents, receipts, measurements, drawing revisions to acknowledge. Not company margin.

  • Purchase head

    What is needed, from whom and at what rate?

    Indents, quotes beside last rates, orders, receipts and shortfalls, vendor history.

  • Accounts

    What do we bill, collect and pay?

    Running bills, retention, subcontractor and supplier bills ready to pay, ageing and weekly cash.

Straight answers

What changes, and what stays the same.

Keep using

  • Your accounting software or Tally for the books. We agree how data reaches Verity during setup.
  • Your scheduling tool, if the planning team uses one. We map it during setup.
  • Your drawings and design tools. Verity tracks the revision and who has acknowledged it.
  • Your accountant, who still prepares your returns, and your lawyer for contracts.

Verity does not

  • Produce engineering drawings or estimates.
  • Send bills or messages to clients on its own.
  • File returns or the welfare cess for you.
  • Run payroll or give legal advice.

We bring your projects, contract items, vendors, orders and bills across from the sheets and software you use now, project by project, so sites keep working while it happens.

Questions

Questions construction companies ask.

Will my site engineers actually use it?

It only works if the daily report and receipts are recorded, so we make that quick, on the phone they already carry. Each engineer gets something back: a clear list of indents, drawings to read and bills waiting, so it saves them chasing.

Does Verity replace our accounting software?

No. Your accountant keeps the books. Verity holds the quantities, orders, bills and approvals that the ledger needs, and we agree how data reaches Verity during setup.

Can it make our client bill?

It builds the quantities and amounts for the next running bill from certified work, with retention and advances. Your team checks and sends the bill, and the payment is then recorded.

We have sites in three cities. Is that supported?

Yes. Each site is a location in one system. Projects, vendors and subcontractors are shared, and the owner sees every site side by side.

How does it deal with unapproved extra work?

Every change is a record with a value and an approval status. Work done against a change that is not yet approved is flagged, so the argument happens before the work, not after.

Can it track our own machines?

Yes. Each machine is an asset record with its site, hours and service date. A request on one site first shows idle machines you own elsewhere. It does not use machine sensors.

Who can see company and project financials?

Only the people you allow. Access is set by role. Site engineers do not see margin, accounts do not approve measured work, and every change is recorded with who made it and when.

Can we start with one project?

Yes, and most do. We set up one live project first, run a full billing cycle, and add the others once it works.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of projects, sites and users, and on what you want set up. Message us and we will give you a clear number after a short conversation about how your company runs.
