Tender to final bill,
on one tenant.

From the day you bid for a contract to the day you release the last retention. Client BOQ, internal BOQ, materials, equipment fleet, sub-contractors, daily wages, running bills, payments — all on one database. Built for residential builders, highway contractors and warehouse-class logistics builders alike.

§ 01
Sub-verticals
Three flavours of contracting · one platform

Not all contractors
are built the same.

Residential building, highway construction, and warehouse-class logistics builds run on the same financial spine — but the operational measurement is different. Buildings track floors. Highways track kilometres. Warehouses track sq. ft. and roofing bays. Farvision is configured for each.

Residential — floors, towers, blocks.

Multi-tower projects for developer clients, often back-to-back with your own land arm. Progress tracked by floor, by structure, by finishing. RA bills tied to pour count, slab cycles, plinth area completed.

Floor-wise progressSlab cycle, structure, finishing — measured per tower per floor.
Plinth-area billingRA bills auto-derived from certified built-up area.
Sub-contractor MEPPlumbing, electrical, HVAC handled as sub-BOQs with their own running bills.
Material wastage cappingSteel coefficient, cement bag count, brick-per-sqm — flagged when exceeded.
F12 ✓ F09 ✓ F06 ✓ F03

Highways — kilometre by kilometre.

Roads, bridges, viaducts, flyovers. Progress is linear — measured in chainage. Earthwork, sub-base, GSB, WMM, DBM, BC layers each have their own quantity and cost. Plus structures: piers, abutments, deck slabs.

Chainage-wise progressEvery km logged independently — earthwork, sub-base, surface course.
Layer-wise BOQGSB, WMM, DBM, BC tracked as separate billable items per chainage.
Bridge & structuresPiers, abutments, deck slabs as sub-projects with their own milestones.

Logistics & warehousing — large-format, single-skin.

Industrial warehouses, distribution centres, cold-storage. Single large-volume builds — pre-engineered steel, concrete flooring, roofing bays, dock-level doors. Quantity-heavy, repeat-element BOQs.

Thesis
Why integrated · why now

You bid against margin.
You execute against reality.

Contracting is the most unforgiving construction business — you bid a price before you know what the ground looks like. Every quantity slip, every equipment breakdown, every wage day, every retention release has to be tracked or your margin disappears into someone else's MIS spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets & standalone tools

Margin you can't see, margin you can't keep.

Tender BOQ in one Excel. Internal execution BOQ in another. The day they drift apart, your margin starts bleeding — you just don't know it yet.
Equipment log books on paper at the site. Diesel slips at the gate. PM schedules on the foreman's whiteboard. Nobody knows the true cost per excavator-hour.
Sub-contractor daily wages settled cash-in-envelope at the gate. No data. No statutory cover. No defence in an audit.
RA bill goes to the client three weeks after the work was done. Retention sits in the client's books for years before someone chases it.
Farvision · integrated

Every cost in. Every bill out. Every retention back.

Client tender BOQ and your internal execution BOQ live as linked records. The variance — your margin — is computed live, line by line.
Every excavator, crane, tipper has a digital log book. Hour-meter, fuel issued, PM due, breakdown history — and a true cost-per-hour against the contract.
Daily-wage attendance captured biometrically. Sub-contractor labour rolls signed off, paid on time, statutory deductions applied. Audit-defensible.
RA bills auto-build from certified work. Retention & BG ledgers tracked per contract — nothing slips through to "we'll get to it later".
§ 03
Lifecycle
Six stages · one continuous database

Tender to retention release,
encoded as one workflow.

Each stage owns its part of the database. Each handoff carries the entire context forward — quantities, costs, certifications, retentions. When the last BG is released, the whole project's economics are reconstructable from a single click.
01 · Tender

Bid & estimate

RFQ tracking, take-off from drawings, rate analysis, plant-and-machinery costing, escalation clauses, EMD & BG management. Win the right bids — not just the cheap ones.

Dual BOQ
The contractor's killer feature

Two BOQs. One reconciliation.
Margin you can see, line by line.

The single biggest difference between contractors who keep their margin and contractors who lose it: the discipline of reconciling the client's tender BOQ against the internal execution BOQ, every week, every line. Farvision puts both on one screen.

§ 05
Equipment
The contractor's biggest balance-sheet item

Cranes, excavators, tippers —
each with a digital log book.

Heavy equipment is most contractors' largest fixed-asset block. Without a system, every machine is a black box — fuel disappears, breakdowns happen unannounced, hire-out potential is lost. Farvision's equipment module makes every machine an accountable cost centre.

Every machine. Every hour. Every litre.

Each piece of plant gets a digital log book — hour-meter capture from the operator's app, fuel issuance ledger, preventive maintenance schedule, breakdown history, third-party hiring rate, AMC contracts. The CFO sees the true cost per machine-hour. The project head sees which machines are bleeding margin.

01
Hour-meter / KM logbookOperator captures readings on the mobile app at start and end of shift. GPS-stamped. Tampering-flagged.
02
Fuel ledger per machineDiesel issued from site stores, signed off by operator, reconciled against hours run. Variance escalated.
03
Preventive maintenance schedulerPM due dates calculated from hour-meter and calendar. Auto-tickets to the workshop. Spare-part forecast.
04
Breakdown & repair historyEvery breakdown logged with cause, time-to-repair, parts used. Rolled up to mean-time-between-failures per machine.
05
Hire-in / hire-out ledgerIdle equipment can be hired out — billing, deployment, return-condition all tracked. Third-party hires-in tracked the same way.
06
True cost-per-hourDepreciation + fuel + operator wage + maintenance + insurance — divided by productive hours. Visible per machine, per project.

Workforce
Two payrolls · one HRMS

Your staff. Your sub-contractor's labour.
Both compliant. Both on time.

Most contractors run two parallel workforces — own staff on monthly payroll, and a much larger pool of sub-contractor labour on daily wages. Most ERPs handle the first. Few handle the second. Farvision handles both as one workflow, with the audit trail a labour inspector expects.
Own staff

Monthly payroll · full HRMS

Site engineers, project managers, accounts, admin, the head office team. Hire to retire on the same database — and every salary posts to the right project's GL.

Roles
Four chairs around the contract

What each role sees
on Monday morning.

Same database, four lenses.

Every contract, every site, on one screen.

You bid for these contracts. You signed them. You're personally guaranteed on the BGs. Farvision puts every contract on a single dashboard — and tells you which ones are on plan, which ones are bleeding, and which ones are about to.

01
Contract-portfolio dashboardEach contract as a tile — billed, certified, collected, retention out, margin live, days-to-completion.
02
BG & retention exposurePerformance BGs, mobilization BGs, retention BGs — across banks, across contracts. Renewals flagged before expiry.
03
Approval cockpit on phonePOs, sub-contractor packages, equipment hire-out — approve from the phone with full context.
04
Bid pipeline & win-rateRFQs in pipeline, bid hit rate, average margin won — for the next round of bidding decisions.

Every contract — its own P&L. Every retention — its own chase.

The contractor's CFO has a particular pain: working capital. Money goes out for materials and wages this week; client RA bills clear in 60 days; retention sits for 18 months. Farvision tracks every rupee, contract by contract.

01
Contract-wise P&LLive margin, cost-to-complete, billed-vs-earned-vs-collected. Refreshed every transaction.
02
Retention & BG ledgersPer contract. Per release-trigger. Auto-flag when due. Auto-chase the client.
03

04
GST · TDS · contractor-specificReverse-charge on sub-contractor services, GST on works contract, TDS u/s 194C — embedded into bills.

Schedule, cost, productivity — per site, per contract.

The project head runs the actual sites. The thing that breaks every contract margin: missed schedules and uncontrolled cost overruns. Farvision shows both, daily, against the bid.

01
BOQ-vs-actual, line by lineThe dual BOQ. Variance flagged the moment it crosses 5%. The line. The cause.
02
Schedule vs realityFloor / chainage / bay milestones — planned date vs actual. Slippage alerts before contract penalties bite.
03
Equipment productivityHours run vs hours expected. Idle equipment vs hire-out option. Fuel efficiency drift.
04
Sub-contractor performanceProductivity per labour-day, quality rejection rate, attendance reliability — by sub-contractor.

47 machines. 6 sites. One log book.

The plant head is the unsung hero. If equipment goes down, the project loses money. If equipment is idle, it's still losing money. Farvision turns every machine into a measurable cost centre.

01
Live fleet statusEvery machine — utilization, hours, location, PM status, breakdown flag — on one screen.
02
Fuel ledger reconciliationDiesel issued vs hours run. Variance over threshold = investigation. Tampering caught early.
