The Problem

Are Your Profits Disappearing on Site?

Construction projects are complex. Without real-time data, you lose money everyday.

Material Theft

200 bags of cement delivered, but only 180 accounted for. Fuel siphoned from trucks.

Cost Overruns

Projects run over budget because you only find out at the end.

Fundi Attendance

Workers coming late or not showing up. No way to track daily labor costs.

Total Site Control

Track every material issue. Monitor attendance. Know your daily burn rate instantly.

Managing 5 sites used to be a nightmare. Now I can check material usage and labor costs for each site from my iPad. We saved over TZS 50M last year just by reducing waste.

The Problem

Construction projects bleed cash without proper tracking

BOQs change every week. Materials disappear from sites. Subcontractors invoice for work they didn't fully complete. Without project-level tracking, your margin is whatever's left at the end.

1

BOQ vs actual is a guessing game

Your tender is based on a BOQ, but actual quantities consumed on site rarely match. By the time you catch the variance, the project is two stages past.

2

Material theft is a quiet bleed

Cement, rebar, fixtures — small amounts disappear each week. Without site-level inventory and signed delivery notes, the loss never traces to anyone.

3

Subcontractor billing is messy

Sub raises an invoice for 'work to date' — what does that actually mean? Without milestone-based payments and IPC tracking, you pay for work twice.

How It Works

From tender to handover, every cost tracked

1

Build the BOQ in Tawala

Import BOQ from Excel or build from scratch. Every item — concrete, blockwork, finishes — gets a quantity, rate, and total. Variations are tracked as they happen.

2

Track materials per site

Every delivery to site is logged with photos and signatures. Site-level inventory shows what's been delivered, used, and what's still on site. Theft becomes traceable.

3

Pay subs on milestone completion

Subcontractors are paid when the IPC (Interim Payment Certificate) is signed off. Tawala holds retention, calculates progress, and issues TRA-compliant payments.
