Job Cost and Budget Management
BuildTopia allows real-time cost control with online budget and variance tracking, purchase order generation
and approval, and collaboration between trade partners and the builder. BuildTopia generates purchase
orders automatically based on current contracts with trade partners and real-time schedule completion for jobs
under construction. With flexible approval workflow and variance processing, BuildTopia ensures purchasing
accuracy. Trade partners can also access their purchase orders online, allowing you to distribute POs
electronically and expedite performance and payment processing. BuildTopia’s integrated workflows empower
a builder and their trade partners to employ a “management by exception” principle and start each project with
finite job cost budgets based on the actual purchase orders that directly relate the trade partner’s underlying
contract with the builder.
