Challenges Faced by Construction & Contracting Businesses

Cost overruns due to poor material tracking

Material theft and wastage are endemic in construction without proper tracking. ASTech ERP issues materials from the warehouse against specific projects, tracks consumption, and alerts on variances above your defined threshold.

Subcontractor billing and TDS deductions

Construction companies deduct TDS under Section 194C when paying subcontractors. Tracking TDS certificates, challans, and 26AS reconciliation manually is error-prone. The system handles TDS deduction, challan tracking, and 26AS reconciliation automatically.

GST on construction: works contract and material supply

Construction involves works contracts (12% GST), material supply (18% on most materials), and sub-letting (12%). Getting the GST treatment wrong on large project invoices creates significant liability. The system applies the correct GST rate based on the contract type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track material issued to different project sites?+
Yes. Materials are issued from the central store or vendor directly to a project site. Each project has its own material consumption ledger, and variance reports show excess or deficit vs the approved bill of quantities.
How does subcontractor billing and TDS work?+
When you make payments to subcontractors, the system deducts TDS at the applicable rate (1% for individuals, 2% for companies under 194C), generates TDS challans, and maintains a TDS ledger for 26AS reconciliation.
Can I create project-wise P&L reports?+
Yes. By tagging all revenues and expenses to projects, you get a project-wise P&L showing contract value, total cost incurred, and gross margin — both for individual projects and consolidated across the company.
Does the system handle retention money?+
Yes. You can configure retention percentages on project invoices. The retained amount is tracked as a separate receivable and released when you issue a completion certificate or as per contract terms.
Is there a mobile app for site engineers to record material receipts?+
Yes. Site engineers can use the mobile app to record material receipts, raise material requests, and update work progress from the site. Data syncs to the main system instantly.
