How the money fits together
| Screen | Side | Question it answers |
|---|---|---|
| Investment budget — Budget / Contract with client | Income | What will we be paid, line by line? How much is already approved? |
| Costs — Contracts with contractors | Costs | What did we contract to subcontractors, and how much have they claimed? |
| Financial dashboard: committed, certified, margin | Both | For each budget line: budget against committed costs, executed and remaining on both sides. |
| Reports and Cash flow | Plan | How much work and which resources do we plan for each week, month, quarter or year? |
Three figures connect income and costs on every budget line: Committed (Ангажимент) — what you signed with subcontractors; Certified (Сертифицирано) — what of it they claimed in approved payment applications; and Margin (Марж) — budget minus committed. All money is in EUR.
- The Budget or Contract with client tile with Reported (Отчетено): the income side.
- The Contracts with contractors tile: the cost side. Here the contractor has no subcontracts yet, so it shows "0 contracts".
- The Certified this month tile with the link to the financial dashboard.
Typical sequence
- Get a budget. As an investor, accept a budget draft; as a contractor, sign the contract with your client. The project moves to Execution and the budget page appears. See Investment budget.
- Contract the work. Award parts of the budget to subcontractors through offer requests and contracts. Every signed line becomes a commitment. See Costs.
- Watch the margin. Switch on the cost columns in the budget, or open the financial dashboard, to compare budget and costs and link any unlinked contract lines. See Financial dashboard: committed, certified, margin.
- Bill and approve. Submit payment applications against your budget and approve your subcontractors' payment applications. See Payment applications.
- Plan the cash flow. From the construction schedule, open Reports for the cash flow and the resources by period. See Reports and Cash flow.

Common questions
Why don't I see any of these screens?
They appear in the Execution phase only and need a paid plan and the matching permissions. Accept your budget or sign your contract first.
