HowZat Project

For site engineers, project engineers and project managers

“How's that project
going?

Everyone gets asked. Some can answer on the spot. A lot of us have to go back to the office and open a spreadsheet first.

Your accounts system will tell you the margin next month. This tells you which day it went wrong, and why — while you can still do something about it.

How it works

Resources

Set your rates once

People, plant, materials, traffic and transport. Build the list by hand, or paste it straight from a spreadsheet.

Projects

Log the day as it happens

Who was on, what plant ran, what materials went in — and what actually got built against your schedule of quantities. Copy yesterday's crew and adjust the hours. Leave a note on any day, so next month you still know why it went that way.

Report

Get a straight answer

Production, cost, overheads and profit — for the whole job, a month, or any period you choose. Every day is listed with its own figures and whatever note you left against it, so a bad week explains itself. Send it as Excel or PDF from the share sheet.

Pricing

Price the next one

Build rates from the resources a job actually needs, apply overhead and margin, and send a clean quote. Won it? Push it straight into a project, or add it to a live job as a variation.

It works with no signal, and it keeps nothing

No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud, no server. Everything you enter stays on your own phone — which also means it works in a cut, down a hole, or anywhere else the coverage gives up. Read the privacy policy.
