SiteMargin is a job costing software developed in Cape Town specifically for South African contractors, builders, and project managers. It addresses the common issue of cost overruns, which are often identified too late during the final accounting phase, by allowing users to detect them early in the project lifecycle. Users can import their Bill of Quantities (BOQ) seamlessly from various formats such as Excel, CSV, digital PDFs, or Word quotes, all of which are meticulously verified line by line before finalization. The site team is empowered to log costs and track progress in real-time via their mobile devices, with a clear display of budget, expenditures, and progress status side by side, categorized as on track, watch, or over budget. Additionally, it supports tracking variations, retention, and payment certificates while evaluating subcontractor performance based on budget adherence, scheduling, and quality, all while maintaining site diaries complete with photographs. Foremen benefit from complimentary site access without visibility into budgets or profit margins, a restriction enforced within the database rather than merely obscured in the user interface. Clients are provided with their personalized progress page reflecting the agreed-upon pricing and ongoing progress, without exposure to internal costs or margins. Furthermore, the software features a plain-English mode that simplifies complex numbers, making them easily understandable for all team members, thereby enhancing communication and collaboration.
