Every project, from estimate to final account.

The estimate, the budget, the commitments and the schedule are one record. Change one and the rest follows — nothing re-keyed, nothing reconciled at month-end.

One number, followed all the way down.

From estimate to project closure, it stays one number — through budget, commitments and variance, never re-keyed.

Substructure is running €28,400 over commitment — the only line that needs a decision this week.Sample project shown.

The line that is over budget is the line that is late. On most projects those are two different conversations.

Why the cost plan and the schedule share one record

A slip and its cost are the same fact.

Sync the schedule from Microsoft Project and track it against baseline and the critical path. Every late task shows up in the budget it belongs to — the moment it slips.

The critical path runs piling and substructure, frame erection, envelope and cladding, then fit-out. Piling is two weeks past baseline 3, so the whole chain is late. MEP first fix depends on the frame but carries float. The building is weathertight when envelope completes.

Substructure pour — sequence 4

Commitment over budget

It reads the project, not the documentation.

CitraWorks exposes its own budget, estimate and schedule records to AI assistance and MCP servers. Answers are computed from the live cost plan and cite the lines they came from — so you can check them the same way you would check a colleague.

It runs inside the same permission model as everyone else. It cannot see a project you cannot see.

Which cost codes moved against baseline this week, and what is driving it?

One line moved. 02-100 Substructure is committed at €1,268,400 against a budget of €1,240,000 — €28,400 over. The commitment was raised on 8 May against variation VO-017 (additional piling depth, grid lines D–F). Sequence 4 of the pour is blocked pending QS sign-off, which is also holding the schedule two weeks past baseline 3.

What's in the platform.

Budget control
Hierarchical cost types, live commitment tracking, and owner change-order workflows.
Estimate linkage
Estimates stay bound to the budget they feed, so a revision reaches the cost plan without re-keying.
Schedule management
MS Project sync, Gantt, critical path, and variance alerts against baseline.
Issues & tasks
Kanban with typed labels, subtasks, dependencies, and a finance tab on every task.
Teams & HR
People and roles per project, with team costs and cost forecasts.
AI & MCP controls
Assistance and MCP servers operating on live budget, estimate and schedule records.
API & integrations
Custom integrations against the same records the interface uses.

Every plan runs the full platform.

No feature ladder, no locked modules. What changes between Pro and Enterprise is the support around it.
