Everything You Need to Know About Construction Manager
Got Questions? We’ve Got the Answers You Need to Master Margins and Control Costs!
How can I, as a Construction Manager or Business Owner, get real-time visibility over project costs and production with Varicon?
Varicon gives you live, site-sourced data unlike spreadsheets, paper, or accounting systems that are often delayed and error-prone. You can track costs and production in real-time as work happens. From purchase orders and delivery dockets to timesheets and quantities completed, everything is captured digitally and instantly visible to both field and office teams. This means you can spot issues early and make decisions with confidence.
What kind of visibility can I get across my jobs and business using Varicon?
Varicon gives you live dashboards and custom reports showing costs, progress, and profitability across all projects. View WIP, Actual vs Budget, and Earned Value reports, filter and group data as needed, and export to CSV or Excel.
Can I track project costs in a way that suits how we actually work on-site?
Yes. You can track costs by Project, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), or Cost Centre. WBS links to claims and contracts. Cost Centres (e.g. Earthworks, Drainage) are ideal for field teams and can still be tied back to your WBS for reporting and forecasting.
How does Varicon help me stay on top of claims, variations, and dayworks?
Progress claims follow your WBS and support input by % or units. Variations can be tracked by approval status and claimed in stages. Dayworks are logged via site diaries or timesheets, signed off digitally, and can be auto-calculated or exported for claim inclusion.
How can I reduce timesheet and payroll admin for my team?
Your crew can log hours via mobile or kiosk. Supervisors approve in bulk, and timesheets are linked to payroll exports. This cuts payroll admin time and ensures labor costs are captured accurately by cost code or project.
Can I digitize all my paperwork like prestart, toolbox talks, and SWMS?
Absolutely. Varicon’s Custom Forms module lets you build any form on web and complete them in the field. They include geolocation, dynamic fields, and automatic logging. Completed forms are instantly available to office staff.
How does Varicon make life easier for site teams?
Site teams can use mobile or tablet to enter timesheets, dayworks, delivery dockets, and forms. No more chasing paperwork or duplicate data entry. It’s faster, clearer, and saves everyone time.
How is Varicon different from traditional systems or spreadsheets?
Traditional systems give you cost data too late sometimes 4–6 weeks after the fact. Varicon gives you real-time visibility from the field, so you can catch issues early and stay in control.
Traditional systems often rely on delayed cost data and involve double handling where the same data is entered multiple times into different tools like spreadsheets, payroll software, and accounting systems. With Varicon, you enter data once and it flows through automatically: for example, timesheet data powers labor costing, payroll, and project reporting. It’s a connected cost management platform that eliminates delays and manual effort.
Do I need to change my accounting software to use Varicon?
No. Varicon integrates with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. You can keep your existing accounting platform while gaining live cost tracking and tighter project-to-office workflows.
Is Varicon a good fit for a small or mid-sized civil business like mine?
Yes. Varicon was built specifically for SMB civil contractors. It’s easy to use, quick to set up, and aligns with how you run your projects and crews.
