Road, Infrastructure & Building Inspection
Road, infrastructure and building inspection: digital building file, field checklists, non-conformity tracking, concrete/sample records and regulation-based progress payments.
Challenges
- Work is not tracked by chainage, so what was done where cannot be reported.
- Item codes are not matched to unit prices, so progress bills are made by hand.
- The cut-and-fill m³ balance is not kept, so haulage cost is uncontrolled.
- Machine hours and fuel consumption are not linked to each other.
Workflows
From chainage to progress billing
- The job is defined by splitting it into chainage ranges.
- Every work item is entered with its item code and unit price.
- The progress bill is produced from the actual quantity.
Cut, fill and machinery
- Cut and fill m³ are recorded separately and the balance is reported.
- Machine hours and fuel consumption are posted to the job.
- Haul distance and tonnage feed into cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I track work by chainage?
Yes — the job is split into chainage ranges and progress is reported on those ranges.
Can I generate progress bills by item code?
Yes — the item code is tied to a unit price and the actual quantity turns into a progress bill.
Can I balance cut and fill?
Yes — both are held as separate m³ and the difference is reported as haulage need.
Can I tie machine fuel consumption to the job?
Yes — timesheet hours and fuel consumption are posted to the same job record.
Can I update the unit price list?
Yes — the item schedule is updated per period and new progress bills use the current price.
