How do we handle variations and change orders?

As amendments to the project scope with their own approved value, kept distinct from the original contract. Keeping them separate is what lets you show a client why the final figure differs from the quotation.

Can the system manage retention?

Retention held against invoices can be tracked so the outstanding amount and its release date remain visible rather than being forgotten until someone reconciles the ledger.

What about equipment and plant?

Equipment can be tracked with maintenance schedules and allocated to projects. Whether to charge internal plant to a project at a rate is a policy decision that should be settled before configuration.

How we implement Odoo for construction

Construction and contracting live or die on project cost control: procurement, subcontractors, site materials and billing spread across sites and months. We implement Odoo around the project — budgets, purchase orders, subcontractor costs and progress billing all roll up per project — so every site stays on budget and management sees margin while the job is still running, not after it closes.

Beyond the ERP

What else this sector usually needs

An ERP is rarely the only thing a business in this position is missing. These are the capabilities that most often matter alongside it.

Questions for construction businesses

Yes — analytic accounting attributes material, labour and subcontractor cost to a specific project or phase, so margin is visible per job. The usual obstacle is site costs that never reach the office as documents, not the accounting structure.
