Construction ERP and Business Central in Darlington
Job costing, CIS and live project figures for Darlington contractors and project-based firms.
Darlington is a market town in County Durham, in the Tees Valley. Our head office near Durham is within easy reach, and the systems we implement run in the cloud, so your team can use them from any office or site.
If you run jobs across several sites, you will know the problem. Costs arrive late, timesheets are on paper, CIS paperwork piles up and nobody sees the true margin on a job until it is finished.
We solve that with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Construct Central, our construction ERP built on Business Central.
ERP Built Around Construction Jobs
General accounting software was made for simple trading, not for jobs with valuations, subcontractors and plant.
Construct Central is ready to use for the way construction works. It brings job costing, payroll, subcontractor management, plant hire, compliance and live financials into one system.
Labour, materials, hire and mileage are tracked against budget as they happen. You can compare budget with actual cost on any job without waiting for month-end, and live reports show CIS deductions and HMRC returns too.
For a full feature list, see Business Central for construction.
Engineering, Distribution and Project Firms
Business Central is not only for builders. Businesses across construction, engineering and distribution use the same platform.
Distribution firms can manage purchasing, stock and deliveries with real-time updates, so they know what to buy and what is running low. Engineering and service firms can link timesheets and job costs to live budgets.
It runs in the cloud, so there are no servers to look after in your office. It also connects to software you already rely on, from estimating tools to payroll.
Tools that help Darlington teams day to day:
JOB COSTING AS IT HAPPENS
Every cost on every job is compared against budget as it is recorded, so overruns show up early.
DIGITAL TIMESHEETS
Site staff and subcontractors submit hours online. Supervisors approve them and payroll picks them up without retyping.
PLANT AND LABOUR PLANNING
Schedule plant hire and drivers, track repairs and servicing, and allocate labour by skill, role or availability.
ON SITE OR IN THE OFFICE
Project managers and field staff use the same live system from a laptop or tablet, wherever the job is.
Getting a Darlington Business Live
We keep implementation simple and predictable. Pricing is fixed, so you know what you are paying for before work starts.
For project work, the Project Pack is £4,499. It sets up job costing, links it to your sales and purchase ledgers, and connects timesheets. CIS deductions and payroll integration are available as add-ons. Compare all Business Central packages.
Whether you are replacing Sage, moving off spreadsheets or scaling up, we plan the switch so daily operations carry on with minimal disruption.
Support After Go-Live
Go-live is the start, not the end. We stick around after launch with training and optimisation, and our UK-based support aims to reply the same day.
As you win more work, you can add users, teams and locations without rebuilding the system. Power BI dashboards and approval workflows can be added when you need them.
Need IT support too? Our IT support for Teesside covers multi-site connectivity, Cyber Essentials and Teams phone systems.
