Project and Cost Control Software for Contractors in Bahrain
Contracting companies in Bahrain run several sites at once, from villa projects in Saar and A'ali to fit-outs and infrastructure packages. Each project has its own budget, materials, labour, equipment and subcontractors, and profit can disappear quietly through untracked site expenses or variations. Many firms still rely on spreadsheets updated days after the cost is incurred. Friend Tech builds project costing and ERP systems that record costs where they happen and compare them against the budget in real time.
Construction & Contracting
Typical challenges
Budget overruns found too late
Actual costs are compared with the budget only at month end or project close.
Untracked site expenses
Petty cash, fuel and small purchases on site are recorded late or not at all.
Subcontractor payments and retention
Progress certificates, advances and retention amounts are hard to follow across projects.
Materials going missing
Deliveries to site and transfers between projects are not reconciled with purchase orders.
Manpower allocation
Labour hours per project are estimated rather than recorded, distorting job costs.
Construction & Contracting
Recommended solutions
Project budgets and cost codes
Set budgets by cost code and see committed and actual costs update as purchases and expenses are posted.
Site expense app
Site engineers record expenses with receipt photos, charged to the right project and approved online.
Subcontractor management
Contracts, progress claims, deductions, advances and retention tracked per subcontractor.
Materials and site stores
Material requests, deliveries, site stock and inter-project transfers linked to purchasing.
Timesheets and payroll link
Daily attendance by site feeds project labour cost and payroll.
