Civil and earthworks
Materials, dayworks and quantities that reconcile.
Bulk civil and earthworks turn on quantities and materials. Outpost tracks delivered against placed, captures dayworks the day they happen, and reconciles quantities to the schedule, so the claim matches the ground.
Where it leaks
The cost and the compliance leak in the gap.
Outpost reconciles delivered against placed, captures dayworks at source, and ties quantities to your rates, so the claim matches the ground.
Material overruns hide
Delivered, placed and wasted quantities are reconciled too late to act on.
Dayworks leak
Directed and standing-time work is captured on paper and lost before the claim.
Quantities drift
Claimed quantities and the schedule of rates slowly diverge with nobody owning the gap.
On civil & earthworks
What runs on the record.
Materials register
Delivered against placed, with overrun alerts before the budget is gone.
Dayworks at source
Directed work and standing time captured the day they happen.
Quantity reconciliation
Placed quantities tied back to the priced schedule of rates.
Plant and labour
Daily allocation with cost rolled up to the activity.
Built for the quantity-driven reality of bulk civil and earthworks.
