Builterra

Builterra is a platform for contract administration on construction and infrastructure projects. It joins steps that are often handled in separate files, from design quantities through to payment certificates, in one web portal and mobile app. It is built for infrastructure owners and the civil engineering consultants who work for them.

What Builterra offers

• Cost estimating — quantity take-offs and live estimates drawn from historic pricing, available from within CAD or the bid preparation portal.
• Bid preparation and analysis — bid packages built from standard item catalogues with specifications, and submitted bids compared in the system.
• Field inspection reporting — a mobile app captures geo-located progress and photos against the bid and compiles daily reports.
• Progress payment certification — a dashboard of inspected data supports monthly payment certificates.
• Geotechnical and materials testing — also listed as a related area.

Who it works with

Field inspectors, project managers, engineers, contractors and owners in public and private organisations.
