The platform 3000+ construction businesses rely on
What commercial teams are measured on
Contract margin, CVR accuracy, cost-to-complete accuracy, applications and valuations, variation recovery, retentions, subcontractor cost control and procurement commitments. Risk against budget on every live contract. At group level, portfolio-wide commercial performance, consistent commercial reporting across entities and board reporting.
Margin control
Contract margin, forecast margin and risk against budget.
CVR accuracy
CVR, WIP and cost-to-complete from live project data.
Cash Recovery
Applications, valuations, variations and retentions.
Your week
The CVR is out of date before the review meeting starts
What the week looks like on disconnected systems, and what changes when commercial and financial data sit in one place.
Today
Commercial does not work from the same system as finance, so teams run their own systems or manual spreadsheets.
CVR and WIP positions are collated by hand from separate project, procurement and finance sources.
Actual, committed and recoverable costs are hard to see in one place, so risks impacting margin are harder to catch early.
Applications, valuations, variations, retentions and subcontractor costs sit across multiple systems, so time is wasted on data that is already ageing.
Cost-to-complete and forecast positions are reactive, built on updates that have aged by the time they reach the review.
Company-level and job-level data are isolated, so commercial reports get rebuilt from scratch rather than drilled into.
Board packs, project reviews and margin meetings are a manual assembly job, and group visibility is consolidated by hand.
With Eque2
One data set behind project costs, commitments, applications, valuations, variations, retentions and the ledger.
CVR and WIP reports are generated from live project data, so the position in the review meeting is the position on the job.
Actual, committed and recoverable costs sit against budget in one view, so margin risk shows up early.
Consolidated CVRs and profit reports are generated in minutes rather than hours.
Board-level numbers drill straight through to the project that moved them.
Group reporting stays consistent across companies and locations, rather than being assembled by hand.
Outcomes
What changes for Commercial
Mapped to the numbers you own, not to a feature list.
Earlier sight of potential risks to margins
Earlier visibility of project margin and commercial risk, so issues are identified and addressed before value is lost.
Confidence in CVR, WIP and cost-to-complete
Less time spent reconciling numbers ahead of project reviews, which leaves more time for proactive decisions and gives the business firmer foundations to grow on.
Commercial and financial data in one place
A clearer view of actual, committed, recoverable and forecast cost against budget, drawn from one set of records.
Stronger control over the recovery
Tighter control over applications, valuations, variations and retentions, which protects cash, margin and your contractual position.

The capabilities of Eque2 that commercial teams use every day of the week.
01 LIVE CVR AND WIP
Construction progress reports from live project data
Track actual, committed and recoverable cost against budget, with WIP and CVRs generated from live project data, so margin risk is identified earlier.
02 Client billing
Contract value, recoverable income and outstanding risk in one place
Manage the key commercial processes in one place, which strengthens control over contract value, recoverable income and the risk still outstanding. Applications, valuations, variations and retentions all sit against the live contract.
03 Forecasting and BI
Cost overruns and cash risk, found early
Consolidated dashboards bring commercial, operational and financial data into one view, so cost overruns, cash flow risk and project performance issues show up before they reach the P&L.
Subcontractor billing
Orders, commitments, deliveries and subcontractor cost connect to the wider project position, so commercial teams understand cost exposure before it affects margin.
Group and portfolio reporting
A centralised view of commercial performance across companies, locations and projects, highlighting trends, profitability and areas of risk, so leaders decide faster. Available in Evision.
Communication with on-site teams
Project, site and commercial teams reach the same live information, which means faster approvals, clearer cost visibility and stronger collaboration.

FAQs
How does a construction commercial management system work alongside finance?
It connects project-level commercial control with the financial data needed to manage performance. Evision and Construct bring together contracts, budgets, applications, valuations, retentions, procurement, CVRs and cost forecasting. Commercial teams get a clearer view of project performance and stay ahead of margin risk.
Can we see committed cost before the invoice arrives?
Yes. Orders, commitments and deliveries connect to the project position as they are raised, so committed cost is visible against the contract rather than appearing once the invoice reaches finance. That is the difference between reading exposure and reporting it.
Does the CVR position update without rebuilding it?
Yes. CVRs are generated from live cost and value data rather than rebuilt from exports each month. In Evision, check-in and check-out logs every version, so commercial and finance read the same numbers from the same source at the same time.
