BOQ-first construction for odoo
From BOQ to IPC.
Track every budget line from initial estimate to final settlement. Measure site progress, sign IPCs on a client portal, and fully automate your payroll and analytics. One unified system for the company that commissions, the company that builds, and the developer doing both.
Core + add-ons
BOQ at the core. Budget on top.
Every construction company needs a BOQ. Some use it to issue IPCs, others use it to build for themselves. AURA is modular — install what you need today, and activate the rest as you grow.
BOQ & Resource Catalogue
CoreThe foundation. Build a reusable resource library and project-specific Bills of Quantities. Includes three-component pricing (material, labour, equipment), multi-level categories, and Excel imports. Whether tendering or executing, the BOQ comes first.
- Reusable resource catalogue · synced across projects
- Three-component pricing · material, labour, equipment
- Multi-level categories · 1-click Excel import
- Standalone BOQ for tendering · or linked to live projects
Project Budget & IPC
Add-onFor contractors executing a signed contract. Generate budgets directly from the BOQ, apply overheads, and manage Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs). Handle advances, retentions, variation orders, and dual portal signatures — all in one place.
- Budget generated from BOQ · overheads applied
- Interim Payment Certificates · advance, retention, VAT
- Variation Orders · track positive & negative changes
- Dual signatures · client & contractor portal approval
Developer Mode
Add-onFor companies building their own real estate. AURA treats the site like a manufacturing line: consume materials and labour to build the structure, then disassemble it into sellable flats. Built on odoo MRP and wired to accounting from day one.
- Building-as-a-product · MRP-style consumption
- Disassembly into flats · ready for handover
- Unit cost roll-up · know the exact cost of each flat
- Ready for sales · flats become catalogue products
Every department, one project
The project at the center. Everything else wires in.
The BOQ drives the budget. The budget shapes the IPC. The IPC triggers invoices, stock write-offs, payroll, and analytics. AURA sits in the middle, automating the connections — your team works in odoo, while the project shows the truth in real time.
One project
one BOQ · one budget · one P&L
Project
Tasks · milestones
Tasks model work phases. Milestones trigger IPCs.
Sales & invoicing
Contract · IPC
The Sales Order acts as the contract. Each signed IPC becomes an invoice.
Purchase & inventory
Materials · equipment
Procurement is linked to budget lines. Approved IPCs automatically write off stock.
Accounting
Analytical · P&L
Per-project analytical accounts. Live revenue versus cost tracking.
HR & payroll
Workers · timesheets
Site managers log hours. Payroll consumes validated time and volume.
01 · Project Budget
Every line on the BOQ. Every cost in three parts.
A construction budget isn't just one number — it's thousands of lines, each with material, labour, and equipment costed separately, tagged to an elevation mark, and rolled up into a project phase. AURA maintains this structure end to end. Your estimator works in an Excel-style hierarchy; your accountant sees a fully integrated analytical chart; your project manager sees exactly what each metre costs — and when it's due.
Estimating
From tender to signed budget — every line costed, every overhead applied.
- Resource CatalogueReusable library of priced resources — material, labour, equipment.
- BOQ DocumentPer-project Bill of Quantities, multi-level categories, Excel import.
- Catalogue MatchAuto-link BOQ lines to catalogue codes — by code, name, UoM, and price.
- Three-Component PricingEvery item split into material, labour, and equipment.
- Elevation Mark (ნიშნული)Every line referenced to a vertical mark (±0.00, +3.10) — drives task generation and scheduling.
- Phases & TimelinesTop-level categories double as project phases — assign dates once, and every line inherits them.
- Standalone ModeBuild a BOQ before the project exists — for bidding and tendering.
Execution
Site activity, recorded once, posted everywhere.
- TimesheetsSite managers log hours on behalf of workers — feeds payroll and analytics.
- Material ConsumptionIssued from inventory against the budget line — stock and cost in sync.
- Equipment HoursOwned and rented machinery time — costed at the correct project rate.
- Subcontractor WorkSubcontracted lines flagged separately — paid against their own milestones.
Settlement
Interim Payment Certificates, the way they're actually written.
- Cumulative ProgressEvery IPC shows the running total against the contract.
- Advance Deduction10% of advance recovered automatically across IPCs (configurable).
- Retention Hold5% withheld on every certificate — released upon handover.
- VAT Block18% Georgian VAT calculated and shown net of advances and retention.
- AdjustmentsPrice corrections, transport penalties, utility deductions — all itemised.
Changes
Nothing in a real construction project stays still — AURA keeps the audit.
- Variation Orders (Positive)Added scope (VO_01, VO_02) — costed and approved before billing.
- Variation Orders (Negative)Removed scope — credited back through the IPC, never lost in the noise.
- Hidden Works ActsRebar before concrete, waterproofing before screed — validated on a separate act.
- Price CorrectionsEscalation clauses, supplier price moves — documented per IPC.

02 · Tasks & Schedule
Phases in the budget. Tasks on the calendar.
The budget isn't just a number — it's the schedule. Top-level categories become project phases, complete with start and end dates. When the project manager generates tasks, the budget passes them down with phase dates attached, color-coded, and sequenced either by category hierarchy or elevation mark (ნიშნული). Choose the view that mirrors how you actually build: floor by floor.

Two generation modes
One budget. Two ways to generate tasks.
Choose how your team views the work: by discipline (the way estimators think) or by floor (the way builders execute). Either way, the budget remains the single source of truth.
By Category
Tasks mirror the BOQ tree — discipline-first workflow.
- Phase = top-level categoryEarthworks, Foundation, Structure, Finishes — each becomes a parent task.
- Sub-tasks follow sub-categories"Excavation" → "Mechanical excavation" → individual line tasks. Hierarchy is preserved.
- Familiar to estimatorsReads like the BOQ. Ideal for trade-based project management.
- One task per costed lineEvery priced item becomes an actionable task with its own progress tracking.
By Elevation Mark
Tasks follow the vertical build sequence — floor by floor.
- Phase = top-level categoryPhases and dates are still inherited directly from the budget.
- Tasks grouped by mark−3.50 (basement) → ±0.00 (ground) → +3.10 (first floor).
- Mirrors realityYou can't pour the second floor before the first. The schedule reflects actual site constraints.
- Cross-discipline levelsConcrete, rebar, and MEP rough-ins are grouped under the floor they belong to.

Schedule essentials
03 · Auto-report
Every measured metre lands on the IPC in seconds.
A site engineer logs the day's progress via phone. The site manager approves timesheets. The storekeeper issues materials. In the background — without a single extra click — AURA generates the period's IPC, links the data, calculates advances and retentions, and prepares a draft. By day's end, the certificate is ready for the client.
Site engineers mark daily progress against budget lines. Photos attach directly to the task. Quantities flow instantly into the open IPC period.
Site managers confirm timesheets for every worker and task. Logged hours automatically feed payroll and project analytics.
Materials are issued from the warehouse directly against budget lines. Inventory decreases, and project costs update in real time.
AURA · auto-IPC
AURA opens the period's IPC draft.
Advance · retention · VAT auto-calculated
The IPC draft auto-fills with the period's exact progress, time, and materials. The PM reviews, adjusts, and submits.
The client opens the IPC on the portal to validate lines, ask questions, and sign. A seamless UX matching odoo's native invoice portal.
A signed IPC automatically posts the invoice, stock write-offs, payroll entries, and analytical accounts — all in a single atomic transaction.
Built for the realities of the site
04 · Traceability
Every cost, traceable from supplier to wall.
Every line on the IPC carries a chain — back to the budget line that priced it, the catalogue item it came from, the purchase order that supplied it, and the supplier that shipped it. Forward to the invoice that billed it, the analytical account that booked it, and the flat (in Developer Mode) that sells it. Audit-ready, the moment it posts.

05 · In sync by design
Two ledgers. One source of truth.
Every transaction — an issued material, a logged hour, or a signed IPC — updates the project budget, accounting, and inventory simultaneously. The planned and actual views never drift because they are never separate. Need proof? Run a Plan-vs-Actual comparison in one click. Any discrepancy is resolved through a formal Variation Order, never a silent patch.

06 · Hidden works validation
Inspected. Approved. On the record.
Some work disappears when the next layer is applied — rebar before concrete, waterproofing before screed, MEP rough-ins before drywall. AURA flags these items in the BOQ and blocks the IPC until they are validated. You have two ways to approve: a digital client signature on the portal, or a scanned physical act uploaded by the manager. Either way, hidden works are fully documented with photos, timestamps, and signatures before the IPC is cleared for payment.

07 · IPC signature flow
From the site to the client's screen — automatically.
The IPC isn't a PDF you email and chase. AURA presents it as a live portal document — the exact same familiar interface your clients already use for odoo invoices. They open the link, review the lines, ask questions in the chatter, and sign. The moment the final signature lands, the certificate becomes an invoice and the entire chain — accounting, inventory, payroll — posts at once. No data entry. No lost emails.

08 · In-house construction
Build it. Disassemble it. Sell every flat.
For developers who act as both client and executor. AURA's Construction module wires directly into odoo Manufacturing. The building is your finished product; materials, labor, and equipment form your Bill of Materials (BOM). Once construction is complete, AURA disassembles the building into individual flats, turning them into sellable catalogue products. By the time your sales team lists the first unit, you know its exact cost — down to the last lari.
