Construction Job Costing Software for Saudi Arabia budget vs committed vs actual, live
IntellaQ Flow gives Saudi contractors true job costing by cost code — budget versus committed (approved POs and signed subcontracts) versus actual — with live cost-to-complete, estimate at completion, and margin for every project. Cost codes map straight to your BOQ and flow into ZATCA-compliant IPC (مستخلص) billing and retention (ضمان أعمال) tracking. FlowAI watches every code and alerts you before an overrun eats the margin.
Job costing by cost code, not by guesswork
Every riyal on the project rolls up to a cost code you control.
Cost codes & schedule of values
Build a chart of cost codes and a schedule of values per project, then structure budgets the way your estimators and QS actually work.
- Reusable cost-code library
- SOV per contract
Budget vs committed vs actual
See each cost code three ways: original and revised budget, committed cost from approved POs and signed subcontracts, and actual cost booked to date.
- Committed = approved POs + subcontracts
- Actuals from procurement, WPS payroll & plant
Cost-to-complete & EAC
Remaining commitments and cost-to-complete roll into an estimate at completion for every code and for the whole project.
- EAC vs budget variance
- Overrun exposure surfaced early
Live margin per project
Watch gross margin move in real time as costs are committed and actualized against your contract value and approved variations.
Cost codes mapped to the BOQ
Link cost codes to BOQ and tender line items so estimated, budgeted and actual costs reconcile against the bill you priced and won.
FlowAI cost-overrun alerts
FlowAI watches every cost code and flags any code trending over budget or with an EAC breaching the contract, before the overrun is locked in.
- Proactive alerts, not month-end surprises
- Ask FlowAI for any project's cost position
Job costing that flows into billing and retention
The same cost data drives your مستخلص, VAT and retention — no re-keying.
IPC / مستخلص progress billing
Turn measured progress into interim payment certificates with advance recovery and retention deducted, then issue a ZATCA Phase-2 tax invoice.
- Advance recovery on each IPC
- Progress by BOQ line or cost code
Retention (ضمان أعمال)
Track retention withheld on every client certificate and on subcontractor payments, with release schedules so nothing is left on the table.
ZATCA Phase-2 native
Progress and IPC invoices are cleared or reported to ZATCA with compliant QR and XML — e-invoicing is built in, not bolted on.
In-Kingdom, Arabic & Hijri
Hosted inside Saudi Arabia with a full Arabic UI and Hijri dates, so finance, QS and site teams work in one system.

Cost code to forecast, in four moves
Chart your cost codes
Build the cost-code structure and schedule of values for the project, reusing your standard library.
Commit
Raise POs and sign subcontracts against codes — approved values become committed cost automatically.
Actualize
Procurement receipts, WPS payroll, plant and materials post actual cost to each code as work proceeds.
Forecast
Cost-to-complete and EAC update live, margin recalculates, and FlowAI flags any code heading over budget.
Construction job costing FAQs
What is construction job costing software?
Construction job costing software tracks the cost of a project against its budget at the cost-code level — comparing budgeted cost, committed cost (approved purchase orders and signed subcontracts) and actual cost booked to date, then forecasting the final cost as an estimate at completion (EAC). IntellaQ Flow does this per project and rolls it into live margin for Saudi contractors.
How does IntellaQ Flow track budget vs committed vs actual?
Each cost code carries an original and revised budget. When you approve a PO or sign a subcontract, that value becomes committed cost. As goods are received, WPS payroll is run and plant is charged, actual cost posts to the code. You see all three side by side, plus variance and cost-to-complete, at any time.
Can cost codes be mapped to my BOQ or tender?
Yes. Cost codes link to BOQ and tender line items, so the price you won reconciles with what you budgeted and what you actually spend. That mapping also lets you bill progress on the same lines through IPC / مستخلص certificates.
Does it handle IPC (مستخلص) billing and retention?
Yes. Measured progress becomes an interim payment certificate with advance recovery and retention (ضمان أعمال) deducted, and the certificate is issued as a ZATCA Phase-2 compliant tax invoice. Retention withheld on both client certificates and subcontractor payments is tracked with release schedules.
Is IntellaQ Flow ZATCA compliant?
IntellaQ Flow is ZATCA Phase-2 native: progress and IPC invoices are cleared or reported with compliant QR codes and XML, VAT is handled correctly, and e-invoicing is built into the billing flow rather than added on afterwards.
How quickly can we go live?
Because job costing, procurement, payroll and billing sit on one in-Kingdom platform with Arabic and Hijri support, most contractors are live in weeks — importing their cost-code library, open projects and BOQs rather than rebuilding from scratch.
