Bookkeeping for Construction and Building

Progress claims, retentions, subcontractor payments, and TPAR all compete with being on site. Workerⁿ keeps the claims chased and the paperwork collected so the books are ready when the accountant needs them.

The paperwork follows you off the site

Construction admin is not just invoicing. It is progress claims, retentions, subbie bills, and TPAR records, all of which drift while you are running the job.

A progress claim that sits unchased is working capital funding the project instead of your business, and a missing subbie record is a year-end scramble waiting to happen.

  • Progress claims and variations that age past terms while attention is on the build.
  • Retentions that are easy to lose track of until well after completion.
  • Subcontractor invoices and payment records that scatter before TPAR time.
  • Supplier bills and material dockets spread across sites, utes, and inboxes.

A progress claim is 20 days past terms, a variation is unbilled, and two subbie invoices are missing before the month can close.

TPAR is due and the subcontractor payment records are spread across a year of emails and statements.

What Workerⁿ takes off your plate

Workerⁿ turns claim chasing and subcontractor paperwork into a routine that runs whether or not you are at a desk.

Workerⁿ chases progress claims, collects supplier and subbie evidence, and keeps records organised through the year. A registered Australian bookkeeper reviews the judgement calls, and you approve anything customer-facing.

BAS, GST coding, TPAR lodgement, and anything customer-facing pass a registered bookkeeper and you before they count. Lodgement stays with a qualified human.

  • Chase progress claims and variations before they age.
  • Collect supplier dockets and subcontractor invoices through the year.
  • Keep subbie payment records organised so TPAR is not a scramble.
  1. List overdue progress claims, retentions, and unbilled variations.
  2. Draft factual follow-up for you to approve.
  3. Collect supplier and subcontractor paperwork as it arrives.
  4. Hand the accountant clean records, including subbie payments, at month-end.
