Construction ERP for United States

Construction companies in the United States must navigate a regulatory environment that spans federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements on public projects, state-level contractor licensing, bonding and insurance mandates, and municipal building codes and permitting processes. The Davis-Bacon Act requires contractors on federally funded projects exceeding $2,000 to pay workers no less than locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits as determined by the Department of Labor. Certified payroll reports must be submitted weekly on Form WH-347, documenting hours worked, rates paid, and fringe benefit contributions for each worker classification.

Construction in United States

Project accounting for US construction follows percentage-of-completion or completed contract methods under ASC 606 revenue recognition standards. Contractors must track costs and revenue at the project level, with work-in-progress schedules that show billings in excess of costs (overbillings) and costs in excess of billings (underbillings). Retainage, typically 5-10% of each progress billing, must be tracked separately and recognized when released. Change order management requires documentation of scope changes, pricing adjustments, and owner approvals before additional costs can be billed.

Subcontractor management involves prequalification, insurance certificate tracking with automatic expiration alerts, lien waiver collection, and 1099 reporting at year end. Compliance with OSHA construction standards requires incident reporting, safety training documentation, and maintenance of injury and illness logs on OSHA Form 300. Minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation goals on public projects require tracking subcontractor utilization against contractual commitments.

Yukti provides construction companies with job cost accounting that supports both percentage-of-completion and completed contract methods under ASC 606. The billing module handles AIA-format progress billing with retainage tracking, change order documentation, and stored materials billing. Subcontractor management includes prequalification workflows, insurance certificate tracking with COI expiration alerts, and conditional and unconditional lien waiver generation. Certified payroll reporting produces WH-347 forms for Davis-Bacon compliance. The estimating module integrates with RS Means cost data for accurate takeoff pricing. Equipment management tracks utilization rates, maintenance costs, and internal rental rates applied to project costs.
