Manage Your Build is construction project finance software built by a project manager. Track budgets, manage contracts and variations, forecast cash flow, process payment certificates, and generate financial reports — from $50K renos to $200M+ builds.
One platform instead of five spreadsheets and the stuff you forgot to carry over. Cash flow that keeps up with you, not the other way around. Flags what's drifting before your client asks about it. Month-end sorted before anyone starts chasing you.
Budget tracking, contract and supplier management, payment certificates, cash flow forecasting, milestone timelines, project insights with RAG status, and printable financial reports. Set it up once. Everything after that is automatic.
Dashboard and Insights — RAG flags across budget, programme, cash flow, and risk, with a weekly digest in your inbox. Budget Tracking — committed vs actual vs forecast, with scope changes tracked separately. Payment Certificates — generated from live contract data, with retentions and GST handled automatically. Cash Flow — planned vs actual across 18 months, updating as you go. Contracts and Suppliers — stages, variations, and retention all in one place. Team Access — invite collaborators as view-only or full-edit members on Team and Elite plans.
