CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION AND JOB COST CONTROL
Contract Administration and Job Costing is one of the main reasons construction businesses look for a new accounting system. For example many small and medium size businesses are satisfied with their accounting software in terms of general accounting functions, but when it comes to handling construction related financials, these systems tend to fall short. If your firm is struggling with these functions, Corecon is your answer!
Main benefits:
- Four Contract Types (Fixed Lump Sum, Cost Plus or Unit Price) for both Prime Contracts and Subcontracts
- Comprehensive Change Management: Change Proposal Request (CPR), Change Order (CO), and Subcontract Change Order (SCO)
- Advanced billing wizards that automate the procurement process and AIA invoices
- Eliminate over-billing by subcontractors
- Executive Dashboards to analyze estimated versus actual for cost, labor hours, and revenue
- Work-In-Progress (WIP) reporting

Corecon offers the full spectrum of construction documentation features including Daily Logs, RFIs, Submittals, Checklists, and Punch-lists. Using these features, you will be able to quickly create professional looking reports and also track open items using Corecon’s Document Calendar and Alerts features. Thus, your project team will be able to minimize delays and reduce risk!
Plus, with all your project information in one central location, Corecon’s global search capabilities will quickly find documents and eliminate the wasted time looking for information.
SCHEDULING
Many firms struggle with implementing a scheduling solution due to the lack of ability for field staff to provide task updates or ease-of-use issues. As a result, schedules that have been initially developed for the project proposal never get utilized after that point.
Corecon’s scheduling features were developed to address these specific issues. Distributed project teams can efficiently develop, manage and collaborate on their project tasks from any location using a browser or handheld device. Tasks can be grouped and filtered by contract, responsible company, employee, or status. Task notifications can be sent to subs or suppliers that have been assigned to them. For firms using Excel or Project, tools are also available to import a Task list from these applications
