Industry Challenges

What makes this industry different.

Construction businesses juggle project-based finances, staged billing and a workforce that changes as projects start and end.

Project-based accounting

Costs and revenue need to be tracked per project, not just at a company-wide level.

Cash flow timing

Payment cycles, retentions and staged billing can create cash flow pressure even on profitable projects.

Subcontractor and compliance obligations

Managing subcontractor payments alongside your own tax and payroll obligations adds complexity.

Fluctuating workforce

Payroll and staffing can vary significantly project to project.

Compliance Considerations

Common compliance considerations.

  • PAYE, UIF and SDL obligations for project-based staff
  • VAT treatment of staged billing and retentions
  • Accurate record-keeping to support project-level reporting
