Why a custom build

Spreadsheets don’t scale on site.

Without it

  • Costs tracked in scattered spreadsheets
  • Variations & claims slip through the cracks
  • Subcontractor payments hard to reconcile
  • No live view of budget vs actual
  • IPC & invoicing done manually
  • Head office blind to what’s happening on site

With LtsThink ERP

  • One live source of truth for every project
  • Variations, claims & retention tracked automatically
  • Subcontractor accounts reconciled in real time
  • Budget vs committed vs actual, always current
  • IPC certified & e-invoiced to ZATCA in clicks
  • Head office & every site perfectly in sync

From tender to final account.

Most contractors run each stage in a different file. A contracting ERP carries the same numbers through every stage, so the BOQ you priced is the BOQ you claim against.

  1. 1

    Tender & estimate

    Log the opportunity, track prequalification, price the BOQ from your rates and supplier quotes, and keep every revision of the bid. Won tenders carry their priced BOQ straight into the project — no re-keying.

  2. 2

    Contract & budget baseline

    The signed BOQ becomes the contract baseline; your cost estimate becomes the budget, split by cost code. Retention, advance payment and payment terms are recorded on the contract once and applied to every claim after.

  3. 3

    Procurement & subcontracts

    Material requests from site turn into purchase orders against the budget line. Subcontract packages are let against BOQ items, so you always know what is committed before the invoice arrives.

  4. 4

    Site execution & progress

    Site teams record quantities done, deliveries received, labour and equipment hours. Progress is measured against the BOQ, the same quantities your claim will be built from.

  5. 5

    Variations

    Variation orders change the BOQ and the budget together, keep the original contract intact, and stay visible as pending, approved or rejected — so unapproved work is never lost from the claim.

  6. 6

    Interim payment certificate

    The claim is built from cumulative quantities, less previous certificates, retention and advance recovery. When the consultant certifies a different amount, the difference is recorded — and the tax invoice is issued from the certified figure.

  7. 7

    Payment, retention & final account

    Receipts are matched to certificates, retention is released on completion and at the end of the defects period, and the final account closes the contract with a full audit trail from tender to handover.

Project cost control

Budget, committed, actual — before it’s too late.

A job rarely goes over budget on the day the invoice arrives. It goes over when the purchase order or subcontract is signed. That is why the system tracks commitments, not only bills — and shows every cost code in five views.

ViewWhat it tells youWhere the number comes from
BudgetWhat you planned to spend on each cost codeYour estimate, approved at contract award, revised by variations
CommittedWhat you have already agreed to spendOpen purchase orders and subcontract values
ActualWhat has been spent and bookedSupplier bills, subcontractor certificates, payroll and equipment costs
Cost to completeWhat is still to comeRemaining budget, adjusted by the project manager’s forecast
Over / under billingWhether you have billed ahead of or behind the workCertified value compared with cost incurred and progress

Put together, these give each project manager an estimate at completion every month — budget spent, committed and still to come — and give the board the same picture across every site, from the same records the accounts use.

Contractor accounting

Accounting built for contracts, not for a shop.

Off-the-shelf accounting software assumes you sell something, invoice it and get paid. A contractor bills a percentage of work, gets certified a different number, waits on retention for a year and recovers an advance across a dozen claims. When the accounting system cannot model that, the real numbers end up in spreadsheets beside it.

In a contracting ERP the accounting follows the contract:

  • Revenue follows certified progress, not a sales order
  • Retention receivable from clients and payable to subcontractors, tracked per contract
  • Advance payments recovered across claims at the contract rate
  • VAT on each certificate, with credit notes when a certificate is revised
  • Every cost booked to a project and cost code, with overheads allocated monthly
  • Profit and cash position per project, per company and per branch

The finance team closes the month from the same certificates, bills and timesheets the project team works from — so the project cost report and the general ledger agree without a reconciliation exercise.

Who it’s for

Built for how your contracts work.

General contractors

Buildings, towers and mixed-use projects with many trades, a consultant certifying every claim and a long tail of subcontractors to control.

MEP & fit-out contractors

Package contracts under a main contractor: material-heavy procurement, back-to-back terms, claims to the main contractor and retention on both sides.

Infrastructure & civil

Roads, utilities and earthworks priced on re-measured quantities, where equipment hours, fuel and plant hire drive the cost.

Lump-sum, re-measured and cost-plus contracts can run side by side; each contract keeps its own billing rules, retention and advance terms.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is the contracting ERP ZATCA e-invoicing ready?

Yes — it generates ZATCA Phase-2 (FATOORA) compliant invoices in Arabic and English, so every project and subcontractor invoice clears compliance automatically.

Can it handle progress billing, retentions and subcontractors?

Yes — BOQ budgets, progress claims, retention tracking, variation orders and subcontractor accounts are all built in, tied to each project’s cost centre.

What is the difference between a contracting ERP and accounting software?

General accounting software books invoices and payments. A contracting ERP adds the project side the accounts depend on — BOQ, budgets by cost code, commitments, progress claims, retention and subcontractor certificates — so the books and the project report come from the same records.

How are retention and advance payment recovery handled?

Both are set on the contract once. Each claim deducts retention and recovers the advance at the agreed rates, the balances are tracked per contract, and retention is released when the contract terms allow — on completion and after the defects period.

Do we have to stop using Primavera or MS Project?

Usually not. Planners keep their scheduling tool; progress and cost live in the ERP, where they drive claims and cost reports. We agree how the two connect during discovery.

How long does implementation take?

A typical rollout runs six to twelve weeks, depending on the number of projects, integrations and how much historical data we migrate.

Does it work for multi-project contractors across Saudi Arabia?

Yes — it’s multi-project and multi-company, built for contractors in Jeddah, Riyadh and across the Kingdom, in the cloud or on-premise.

Which cities in Saudi Arabia do you serve?

We deploy for contractors in Jeddah, Riyadh, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam and Khobar — across the Kingdom, in Arabic and English, both remotely and on-site.
