Developers and general contractors
Projects with dozens of contractors, where the estimate, actuals and payments sit in separate spreadsheets across project controls, procurement, site QA/QC and accounting.
Frame.
Estimate, accepted quantities and payments for every contractor in one system. You pay only for work accepted on site and see delays before they turn into penalties.

Brings estimate, actuals and payments together
Engineers accept work from a tablet with photos, the system checks it against the estimate and contract, and management sees plan, actuals and remaining work for every contractor.
Money and deadlines under control
Overpayments are caught before payment, delays show up early, and the owner's report builds itself. On a large site that means $220k saved per week.
Where money leaks
/ diagnosticsPaying for work nobody accepted
Quantities are closed on the contractor's own certificates, and the check against the estimate is manual and late. Overpayment surfaces after the money is gone.
The same data entered 3–4 times
Project controls, finance, procurement and accounting each keep their own version of the quantity sheets. Every handoff between departments adds errors.
No overall picture
Management cannot see what is happening on site right now. Reports are assembled by hand from different files, taking anywhere from two hours to two months.
Delays spotted late
Remaining work is counted by hand. By the time a delay is visible it is too late to react, and late delivery turns into penalties to buyers.
How it works
/ three steps-
001
You upload the estimate and contractors
The project estimate, contractor cost breakdowns and the contractor register from your ERP go in with one action. More than 70 checks immediately flag overruns and errors.
-
002
You accept work on site
The engineer records quantities with photos, site QA/QC confirms quality, and the site manager closes the work. Progress billing is drafted from closed quantities.
-
003
You see plan, actuals and money
Management gets one dashboard: plan, actuals, remaining work and payments by project, block and contractor. Everyone sees and edits only their own part.

Case studies
/ results in moneyConstruction
Commercial real estate developer
A large site with more than 300 people on it. Finishing works were tracked in scattered Excel files across four departments, and plan and actuals never matched. Since Frame went live, estimates and cost breakdowns are checked on upload, quantities are accepted from a tablet, and management sees plan vs. actual for every contractor. Before the start I held 17 interviews with departments in 5 days.

Construction
Municipal client, road repair
The same system, used to control a road contract. Acceptance used to run on scanned certificates and Excel. Now estimate, actuals and payment meet in one system, and discrepancies and double payments show up before acceptance.

After the call you send the estimate and cost breakdowns, and three days later I show Frame on your project's data. Then eight weeks to a working system.
Your data stays with you
/ securityYour server
Your cloud in your jurisdiction (EU data residency available) or on-premise hardware in your network. Only you hold the access; external access goes through a VPN.
Everyone sees their own part
Roles with separated permissions: whoever enters data does not approve it. Money and banking details are visible only to those who need them.
Nothing gets lost
An immutable action log, versions of every upload, daily backups. When an employee leaves, access is revoked in a minute.
