Construction Management Software for Contractors, from Bill of Quantities to Progress Billing
iCore ERP brings bills of quantities and progress billing together with project management, purchasing and accounting in one construction ERP, so contractors follow every project from planning and execution to billing, cost and profitability without entering data twice.
Progress billing
Bill the client as the work on the project is completed, instead of waiting until the end of the project to invoice.
- Progress bills as work is completed

Projects, phases and tasks
Link each project to its client, set the project manager and the delivery team, and split the work into phases and tasks with clear priorities and dates.

Construction & contracting: frequently asked questions
Is iCore construction management software?
Yes. On top of project management, iCore adds tools for contracting companies: bills of quantities (BOQ) and progress billing, with project budgets and costs, progress tracking and the profitability of each project.
Can I issue progress bills from the system?
Yes. You bill the client as the work on the project is completed, in the same system that manages the project’s costs and accounts.
How do I follow the cost of a construction project?
You prepare the project budget, link purchases and expenses to the project, then follow actual against planned cost and analyse the variances, with performance and earned value reports.
Can I see the profit or loss of each project?
Yes. The project profit and loss brings together the project’s revenue and its direct and indirect costs, calculates gross profit and the net result, and compares planned with actual cost.
Do project purchases go through approval workflows?
Yes. Purchase orders pass through the approval workflows you define, with budget and quantity control.
