Built around how General Contractors teams spend.

General conditions cross trade boundaries

Temporary facilities, site access, cleanup, and shared supplies support a project but may not belong to a single subcontractor package.

Urgent field purchases bypass routine review

A superintendent may need to keep the site moving; later reviewers still need the project, reason, and responsible authority.

Subcontractor and employee costs are different records

Employee expenses should not be mistaken for subcontractor invoices or committed contract costs during job-cost review.

Change events affect coding decisions

A purchase tied to a changed scope, backcharge, or owner request needs a documented explanation before allocation is settled.

Multi-project leaders share purchasing duties

Operations staff moving between active sites need clear project selection so a receipt does not land against the wrong job.

A spending workflow for General Contractors

Illustrative workflow. Automation, payment, and accounting handoffs depend on confirmed product availability and your organization's controls.

  1. Site administrator identifies the cost boundary

    Select the job and note whether the purchase supports general conditions, a direct work package, or shared site operations.

  2. Purchaser records purpose and evidence

    Keep an itemized receipt and describe any owner direction, change event, or schedule-related urgency.

  3. Superintendent confirms the site need

    Check delivery to the correct location and whether a cost is shared across jobs or trades.

  4. Project manager decides job treatment

    Review contract context and determine whether the item is direct, overhead, potentially reimbursable, or needs clarification.

  5. Controller checks the accounting boundary

    Review coding, duplicate records, policy exceptions, and whether an invoice or commitment exists elsewhere.

  6. Finance hands off the resolved entry

    Send the approved expense with project and cost-class context into the established accounting process.
