Where you are today
common issues growing contractors often face
Three frustrations, in their words. What is true at £2m is not true at £40m, so these do not carry across the three pages.
You cannot win profitable work on inconsistent numbers
As the estimating team grows and tenders get split across several people, every estimator building rates their own way in their own spreadsheet becomes a hidden risk. Pricing that looks solid on one job can rest on entirely different assumptions to the next.
Manual processes do not grow with the business
What works for a handful of projects, run on spreadsheets and individual judgement, breaks down once volume and value increase. Finance, commercial and procurement each rely on isolated tools, which disconnects project data.
Cash flow risk compounds as you grow
Bigger contracts mean bigger retentions, larger subcontractor exposure and more capital tied up in work at any one time. When that position is not visible in real-time across every project, the business carries risk it cannot quantify until it is already a problem.
Scaling Your Business
What matters the most for growing firms
From initial tender through to final account. Produce more accurate, consistent tenders through a structured process for every bid. Whether pricing from first principles or starting from a previous estimate, teams build tenders faster while holding tighter control over pricing, quantities and profitability.
Integrated digital take-off removes manual measuring. Once a project is won, Evaluate feeds Construct directly, so budgets flow into project delivery from day one and project, commercial and finance teams all manage performance against the same baseline.
Commercial control on every job
Construct gives every job the same financial and commercial backbone. With contracts and live job costs consolidated, teams actively manage variations, applications for payment, procurement and billing in one place. Real-time job views show potential risk before it materialises against the contract, alongside an instant view of cost, revenue and profit margin on every contract. Drill in to cost code level, or to the individual transaction.
Cash flow, subcontractors and your accounts system
Connected project costing, sales, and billing feed directly into Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Intacct, or Xero using the same nominal code structure.
Client and subcontractor billing is centralised. Bringing variations, dayworks, applications, and retentions into a consistent workflow, so you have greater control over cash flow. Subcontractor management follows the same streamlined process, with online CIS verification through HMRC integration, automated deductions, insurance checks, and CSCS tracking. Performance ratings and subcontractor orders are all managed in one place.

Live project data for better commercial decisions
Directors want to move from reactive reporting to proactive control, going from board-level numbers down to job-level detail without jumping between systems. Power BI dashboard reporting gives that, from project level through to company level. Real-time reports for WIP, CVR, outstanding retentions, aged debt and company performance let finance and commercial identify risk early enough to protect margin.
We required full cradle-to-grave project financial management that all project team members could use.
"We required full cradle-to-grave project financial management that all project team members could use. That is what Construct provides. From tracking initial budgets through to site deliveries and cost reconciliation, without the need for clunky spreadsheets or reams of paper."

Discover Eque2 Construct
You will not outgrow this in two years
Where Construct sits today, and what the steps up actually look like. It is built in three levels, so you start where the business is now and add control as you need it. Your ledger, VAT and payroll stay where they are throughout. The only reason to move beyond Construct is a change in the shape of the business, not a change in its size.
Add control as you need it
Construct comes in Standard, Professional and Premium. Start where the business is now, then add approval workflows, itemised applications and dashboard reporting at the point you need them.
Your accounts system stays put
Construct works with Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Intacct and Xero. Growing does not mean replacing the ledger your finance team already runs.
Construction-specific ERP capabilities
If you expand into new countries, or bring new businesses and locations into a group, Evision is the step up rather than a fresh start.
Solve your specific job
Find the right Eque2 solution for the job in front of you.
Produce accurate take-offs faster
Measure straight from drawings into your estimate. Cut take-off time and reduce the risk of errors feeding through to your tender price.
Price more work at the right margin
Standardise pricing across your estimating team, reuse rates from past jobsprojects, and reduce the gap between tender and final account.
Track job costs in real time
See actual cost against budget on every contract as it happens, not at month-end three weeks after the fact.
Replace generic accounts with construction-specific finance
Connect commercial and financial data in one place, enabling teams to manage client billing, CIS, purchase orders, and project costs with greater accuracy and control.
End-to-end project consolidation
Deliver group-wide visibility with multiple companies, locations, and currencies reporting, supporting live CVRs, tighter variation control, and clear visibility of subcontractor exposure.
FAQS
How can we connect our data from on site with Construct?
Construct includes mobile apps for timesheets, purchase orders and deliveries, so site teams capture information in real time from any Android or Apple device. Data entered on site transfers automatically into Construct, ready for office approval, and appears as a cost against the right project. Nobody chases paperwork or rekeys it from a spreadsheet later.
Can Construct manage our subcontractors and CIS compliance for us?
Yes. Construct handles subcontractor verification, CIS deductions and returns, and insurance tracking in one place. You verify subcontractors through HMRC integration and automate CIS deductions, with automated warnings on expiring insurance or CSCS cards. That takes the manual chasing out of a process that is easy to lose track of as your subcontractor base grows.
Will we outgrow Construct as we get bigger?
Construct grows with you through Standard, Professional and Premium levels, so you add control when the business needs it. If you expand into new countries, or bring new businesses and locations into your group, Evision is there as the next step.
