Cost control

See overruns while you can still fix them

Import your BoQ from Excel or start from stage budgets. An approved LPO counts as committed, goods received go to stock, and materials issued to a cost code count as actual, so the cost report is always current.

For home builders

No QS on staff? Start a house or an apartment block from a stage template: foundation, walling, slab, roofing, finishes, handover. Each stage has its own budget and payment share, signed off before the next payment is requested. Clients, including those abroad, see progress photos at each stage.

FAQ

Questions builders ask us

What is Structura?

Structura is construction management software for contractors and builders. It brings budgets and BoQs, site labour, wages paid by mobile money or bank with statutory deductions, procurement and stores, subcontracts, client billing, site reports and accounts into one system that works on the web and on phones.

Is Structura only for big contractors?

No. It works for an individual builder putting up one house, for developers delivering apartment blocks floor by floor, and for civil, roads and commercial contractors. Small builders can budget and get paid by construction stage without a formal BoQ; larger firms can import a full BoQ and run valuations.

Can Structura pay workers by mobile money?

Yes. Approved timesheets become wage batches paid to each worker's mobile wallet (such as M-Pesa, Airtel Money or MTN MoMo) after approval, and every line is confirmed back. Suppliers can be paid to a till, paybill, merchant account or phone, and bank, cheque and cash payments are recorded with their references.

Does it handle statutory deductions?

Yes. Income tax on bands, health, pension and housing contributions are worked out on every wage batch using month-to-date pay, with payslips and monthly remittance files. Rates, bands and limits are your organisation's settings, ready-made for Kenya (PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy), and casual workers can be excluded where that applies.

Does it handle VAT and e-invoicing?

Yes. VAT or sales tax runs at your organisation's rate. Supplier invoices carry the tax authority's e-invoice number (such as KRA eTIMS) and are matched three ways against the LPO and the goods received note before they can be paid. Client invoices handle withholding VAT and withholding tax where they apply.

Does it work on site without internet?

Yes. Site reports, deliveries, expenses and plant logs are kept on the phone while offline and sent automatically when the connection returns.

Can we keep using QuickBooks?

Yes. Structura posts its own journals for every transaction and exports them for QuickBooks, so your accountant can keep their books while the site and office work in Structura.

Can we use Structura outside Kenya?

Yes. Each organisation sets its own country, currency, tax rates, statutory rules and payment methods. Structura starts you on working defaults and you change what is different for your market.

Can we customise it to how we work?

Yes. Approval workflows, roles and permissions, payment methods, cost codes, the chart of accounts, printed documents and each module's rules are all settings your organisation controls.

How do we get started?

Request a demo and we will set up your company, import your workers, suppliers and BoQ from Excel, and start with one project.
