South African contractors, builders, project managers and developers who need to track job costs against the budget
About siteMargin
siteMargin is job costing software built in Cape Town for South African contractors, builders and project managers. Most overruns are found too late, at final account, when nothing can be done. SiteMargin is built to find them early.
Import the BOQ instead of retyping it: Excel, CSV, a digital PDF or a Word quote, checked line by line before it is saved. Your site team logs costs and progress as they happen, from their phone. Every line shows budget, spend and progress side by side, with a plain on track, watch or over status. Track variations, retention and payment certificates, score subcontractors on budget, schedule and quality, and keep site diaries with photos.
Foremen get free site seats and never see budgets or margin; that is enforced in the database, not just hidden in the interface. Clients get their own progress page showing the agreed price and progress, never your costs or margin. A plain-English mode makes the numbers readable for anyone on the team.

snagR
SnagR is designed to monitor the progress of complex projects, providing the easiest way to capture field data, automate reporting and visualize sophisticated analytics. The disconnect between the planned schedule and the on-site reality makes delays almost inevitable. Delayed delivery not only reduces the profit margins, but also exposes the company to penalties and litigation, and affects the whole company's cashflow. Multiple project overruns may even reduce the chances of winning future projects. SnagR integrates seamlessly with a project's scheduling system - simply import the project program from your current scheduling software into SnagR. Capture progress on-site with photos, percentage sliders and hold-points. SnagR ensures each hold-point to be complied before you move on to the next task. Identify delays early to allow prompt mitigation. Manage and assign activities to subcontractors, teams, etc.
