RA bills in India. IPCs in Dubai.
One workspace.

Every project carries a jurisdiction profile. Indian projects raise RA bills certified by the client’s QS, with GST and 5% retention. Dubai projects raise IPCs certified by the Engineer under FIDIC, with VAT and 10% retention capped at 5% of contract. The workings come from executed quantities. Nobody types a figure.

The usual path

Tender to taking-over.
Money moves on certified quantities.

1

Tender

The enquiry is a lead in the tender pipeline with contract value, mobilisation advance and payment terms on it. Calls are transcribed and summarised.

pipeline: tender → handover
2

Award and set up

The project takes its jurisdiction profile, India or Dubai, and the guarantees go in with their expiry: advance payment guarantee and performance bond.

APG · performance bond
3

Execute and certify

Executed quantities are recorded against the BOQ. Above the ordered quantity is refused unless an approved variation covers it. DPR, snags and indents run alongside.

BOQ · DPR · snags · indents

Bill and collect

The RA bill or IPC is generated from what was certified. Retention is held, the release date is derived from taking-over, and overdue bills show on the tiles.

In the pack

Sites, BOQ, bills and procurement.

The Building and contracting pack adds these to the CRM the moment your workspace holds it. Everyone gets them, in both jurisdictions.

Live projects, one flag each

Project, client, value, progress %, phase and a single flag. Precedence is fixed: lapsed bond, then overdue high-severity snag, then behind schedule, then bond about to lapse.

Jurisdiction profile per project

India: RA bill certified by the client’s QS, GST 18%, GSTIN, retention 5%, DLP 12 months. UAE (Dubai): IPC certified by the Engineer under FIDIC, VAT 5%, TRN, retention 10% capped at 5% of contract, release at the Taking-Over Certificate. AED or INR. All overridable.

BOQ with executed quantities

Every item carries ordered and executed quantities. Executing above the ordered quantity is refused unless an approved variation covers it.

Bill workings generated, never typed

This bill, retention, tax and net payable are derived from certified work. A certified bill freezes. Corrections go into the next bill, so the record never changes underneath you.

Guarantees with expiry

Advance payment guarantees and performance bonds, each with its expiry date. A bond about to lapse flags the project; a lapsed bond outranks every other flag.

Procurement indents

Comparing quotes, Awaiting approval, PO raised. When an indent passes its need-by date without a PO, a task is raised for someone to deal with it.

DPR and snags with severity

Daily progress reports per site, and a snag list where each item carries a severity. An overdue high-severity snag is the second-highest flag a project can show.

Retention release from taking-over

Retention release dates are derived from the taking-over date and the profile: after the 12-month DLP in India, at the Taking-Over Certificate in Dubai. Not a reminder someone has to remember to set.

Four tiles and three fields

Live projects, certified this month, retention held, overdue from clients. On every project: contract value, mobilisation advance and payment terms.

AI on the pack

Ask about bonds and overdue bills.
Let a Watcher check every night.

The contracting pack has no AI tools of its own. It does not need them. The same AI Studio, agents, transcripts and MCP that run the rest of the CRM read your projects’ leads, tickets, calls and invoices. Reads are instant. Anything that sends or spends shows an approval card first.

AI Studio“Which bonds expire in 30 days, and which clients are overdue on a certified bill?”

One chat with the whole CRM connected. Ask across projects, invoices, tickets and call transcripts and get an answer with the records linked. Writes wait for you.

Questions

Straight answers for contractors

Can one workspace run Indian and UAE projects side by side?
Yes. Each project carries its own jurisdiction profile. An India project bills RA bills certified by the client’s QS with GST 18%, a GSTIN, 5% retention and a 12-month defects liability period. A Dubai project bills IPCs certified by the Engineer under FIDIC with VAT 5%, a TRN, 10% retention capped at 5% of contract and release at the Taking-Over Certificate. Amounts are in INR or AED accordingly. Every default is overridable per project.
Can I type the bill figures myself?
No, and that is the point. This bill, retention, tax and net payable are generated from the executed quantities that were certified. A certified bill freezes; if something was wrong, the correction goes into the next bill so the record of what was certified never changes.
What decides the flag on a project?
A project shows one flag, chosen by precedence: a lapsed bond first, then an overdue high-severity snag, then behind schedule, then a bond about to lapse. Otherwise it reads on track. The order is fixed so the table is always read the same way.
What does the pack not do yet?
Sub-contractor accounts, extension-of-time claims and municipality approvals are out of scope today. Payroll for UAE site crews under WPS is not a CRM feature either; it lives in Graciax HRMS alongside Indian statutory payroll.
How is the pack billed?
Per workspace, never per seat. Everyone in the workspace gets the pack the moment the workspace holds it. Pro includes one vertical pack, and packs run side by side. See CRM pricing for plans and add-ons.
Where does AI come in?
AI Studio answers questions over your projects’ leads, tickets, calls and invoices. Watcher agents run nightly to flag bonds about to lapse, overdue certified bills and indents past their need-by date. Every call is transcribed and summarised. Over MCP, Claude or Cursor can do the same with a role-scoped key. Anything that sends or spends waits for your approval.
