Contractor & Construction ERP
POS Emirates Contractor & Construction ERP runs UAE contracting companies on project costing against the BOQ, subcontractor and labour management, site material and asset tracking, retention and progress billing, and tender management — replacing spreadsheets that cannot keep up with multiple concurrent sites.

What is Contractor & Construction ERP?
Contractor & Construction ERP from POS Emirates tracks a construction project from tender to final account: costing against the bill of quantities, managing subcontractor and labour engagement, tracking materials and equipment across sites, billing clients on progress with retention held correctly, and closing out with an accurate final account.
It shares its people-tracking and asset-tracking engine with POS Emirates Time Attendance and Asset Management software, so site labour hours and equipment location feed directly into project cost instead of being reconciled separately.
Who is it for?
Contractor ERP is built for UAE construction and contracting businesses:
- Main contractors managing multiple concurrent projects and sites
- Subcontractors billing main contractors on measured or lump-sum terms
- MEP, fit-out and specialist trade contractors
- Facilities and maintenance contractors with recurring site work
Key features
BOQ project costing
Track actual cost against the bill of quantities line by line, per project, in real time.
Subcontractor & labour management
Engage, measure and pay subcontractors and daily labour with approval workflows.
Site material tracking
Track materials delivered, consumed and remaining per site against the project budget.
Site asset tracking
Know which tools, plant and equipment are on which site, shared with our Asset Management engine.
Progress billing & retention
Generate interim payment certificates with retention withheld and released correctly.
Tender management
Track tenders from invitation to submission with cost build-up carried into the awarded project.
Site labour hours
Attendance and overtime per site feed directly into project labour cost, shared with Time Attendance.
Variation & claim tracking
Log variations and claims against the contract with status and financial impact.
Benefits
Know project cost before it is too late
Actual-versus-BOQ cost visible in real time catches overruns while they can still be managed.
Faster, disputed-free progress billing
Payment certificates tie directly to measured work, reducing back-and-forth with clients and consultants.
Materials and equipment accounted for
Site tracking closes the gap where materials and tools quietly disappear between sites.
Tender bids built on real historical cost
Past project cost data improves the accuracy of future tender pricing.

Project control built for UAE contracting
Construction margins are won or lost on cost control most companies only see at month-end, by which point it is too late to act. Contractor & Construction ERP from POS Emirates tracks actual cost against the bill of quantities as work happens, across as many concurrent sites as your business runs.
Key capabilities
Costing against the BOQ
Every project starts from its bill of quantities, and actual material, labour and subcontractor cost is tracked against each line as it is incurred — not reconstructed from invoices weeks after the work is done. Overruns on a specific trade or item are visible while there is still time to respond.
Subcontractors and labour
Engage subcontractors on measured or lump-sum terms, record daily labour attendance, and route payment approvals through the people responsible for signing off measured work. Because this shares its engine with POS Emirates Time Attendance Software, site clock-ins feed directly into labour cost without a second system.
Materials and equipment on site
- Materials delivered, consumed and remaining tracked per site against budget
- Tools and plant equipment tracked by location, sharing the same engine as our Asset Management Software
- Transfer requests between sites logged so nothing goes missing in transit
Progress billing and retention
Generate interim payment certificates tied directly to measured work completed, with retention percentages withheld and released automatically according to your contract terms — reducing disputes with clients and consultants over what has actually been billed.
Tenders that learn from real cost
Track tenders from invitation through submission, building cost estimates that carry forward into the project once awarded — so future bids are informed by what projects actually cost, not just what was originally priced.
Variations and claims
Log variation orders and claims against the contract with their financial impact tracked separately from the original BOQ, so the final account reflects everything that changed along the way.
Deployment and support
POS Emirates configures the system around your standard BOQ structure and approval chain, imports current projects and trains your site and finance teams. Support continues by WhatsApp, phone and email, with an optional AMC for larger contractors running the system across multiple sites.

Does the contractor ERP track cost against the BOQ in real time?
Yes. Material, labour and subcontractor cost is tracked against each BOQ line as it is incurred, so overruns on a specific trade or item are visible while there is still time to act, not discovered at month-end.
Can it handle progress billing and retention?
Yes. Interim payment certificates tie directly to measured work completed, with retention percentages withheld and released automatically according to your contract terms.
Does it integrate with time attendance for site labour?
Yes. It shares its people-tracking engine with POS Emirates Time Attendance Software, so site clock-ins and overtime feed directly into project labour cost at no extra integration cost for the same company.
Can it track tools and equipment across multiple sites?
Yes, using the same engine as POS Emirates Asset Management Software, so tools and plant equipment are tracked by location and transfer between sites is logged.
How much does contractor ERP software cost in the UAE?
Plans start at AED 399 per month for up to 5 active projects and AED 849 per month for unlimited projects with material and asset tracking, excluding VAT.
Can consultants or clients see project progress directly?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. A collaboration portal shares agreed project data with consultants or clients without giving them access to your full financial system.
