Your spreadsheet doesn’t know what your jobs are costing you
On a $500K civil job, one broken formula can wipe $40K of margin you never see until the job is done. Workbench shows you what every job is actually making — while you can still do something about it.
Average margin leak per contractor, from hidden errors and tracking delays in the first 90 days.
Of business spreadsheets contain critical formula errors.
Time to live costing — your first project costed with real numbers on Workbench.
The margin is leaking before anyone notices.
Civil work is complex and plant-heavy. When the data lives in spreadsheets, the problems only surface once it’s too late to fix them.
A project is losing money before anyone notices — you find out a job blew its margin once it’s finished, not while you can act.
Every PM is forecasting in their own spreadsheet, so there’s no corporate control and no single view across projects and states.
The plant department buys equipment by feel, not utilisation data — idle excavators and hire costs you can’t see.
Payroll spends a day per timesheet cycle on EBA award interpretation, with compliance fines a constant board-level risk.
Margin lives or dies on labour and plant. We give you the data your ERP can’t.
Know what every job is actually making, while the project is still running — before the margin leaks.
Every active job, one screen
Project dashboards show cost-to-complete, schedule slip and variation status across every PM and every site — no chasing private spreadsheets on a Friday afternoon.
Plant P&L in real time
See a P&L per equipment item and live utilisation, so you know what every excavator and roller is doing, what’s idle, and what’s being hired in — before the next capex conversation.
Labour & plant vs budget, live
Real-time labour and plant costs tracked against budget on every job, so you can reassign crews or raise the variation while the margin is still recoverable.
One platform. Sized to your civil operation.
Lite and Standard run on the same core. The difference is depth, scale and how much you need configured.
Lite
For growing civil contractors replacing spreadsheets. Real-time job costing, claims, plant and payroll — live in 5–10 days
Standard
For self-perform civil at scale. Multi-entity, multi-currency, full forecasting, site diaries and ERP integration across regions.

“The reduction in double entry saved so much administration time. We reduced the number of office workers by one within the first 6 months of implementing Workbench.”
