The problem
Why construction businesses fly blind on their finances
Excel, paper spreadsheets, late accountant -- without real-time visibility, margins erode and cash flow deteriorates with no warning.
No real-time visibility on margins per project
Cash flow managed by instinct, with no reliable forecasting
Manual FEC accounting export, risk of errors and delays
No profitability tracking per project during construction
Key features
Everything you need to manage your construction finances
From dashboards to accounting exports, every figure is calculated, updated and actionable in real time.
Financial KPI dashboard
Revenue, gross margins, collected payments and outstanding balances on one screen. Filters by period, client or project.
Cash flow and forecasting
View your projected cash flow over 3, 6 and 12 months. Integrate invoice due dates, advance payments and progress claims.
Per-project profitability
Compare budgeted vs actual spend project by project. Automatic alerts when margin drops below your threshold.
Automatic FEC accounting export
Generate your FEC accounting file in one click, compliant with DGFiP standards. No more re-keying between management software and accounting.
Pennylane synchronisation
Connect Constrigo to Pennylane for automatic sync of invoices, payments and accounting entries. Zero double entry.
Financial reports and exports
Generate detailed financial reports: revenue by period, aged balance, receivables status. One-click PDF and Excel export.
Real-time margin alerts
Get notified when a project exceeds its budget or gross margin drops below your configured threshold. React before it's too late.
Schedule Slip Radar — planning drift alert
Constrigo projects each project's real end date from its earned progress and elapsed time, then compares it to the contractual date. A dot turns amber once the forecast delay reaches 5 days, red at 15 days — or when progress falls more than 20 points behind elapsed time. A “false positive” button dismisses an alert you know is unfounded. Available to company directors on the Enterprise plan and above.
Progress claims tracking
Track the financial progress of each progress claim. Automatic linking to invoices and calculation of remaining amounts to bill.
AI scan for supplier invoices
Snap a photo of your supplier invoice: Constrigo reads the SIRET, the number, the dates and the net and gross amounts, and suggests the VAT rate. You match the supplier, add the lines, check and confirm the purchase invoice.
Bank guarantees and financial sureties
Track your sureties and guarantees per project or tender: retention substitute, payment guarantee (art. 1799-1), completion guarantee (GFA), bid bond, performance bond. Total outstanding, annual commission cost, expiry and release alerts so you never forget to free up the cash tied down.
Multi-company & group consolidation
Manage several companies under one group and switch your active company in one click. The consolidated group dashboard aggregates revenue, cash, margin and order backlog per company, so you steer the whole group from a single account.

Financial management by trade
Every construction trade has its own margin and cash flow constraints. Constrigo calculates real profitability with the indicators that matter for your activity.
Masonry & Structural Work
- Structural gross margin calculated by comparing dry costs (concrete, steel, formwork) against sale price per work item
- Cement and steel consumption tracked per project — supply variance flagged at 5% overrun
- Monthly work progress reports valued automatically — physical progress drives invoicing and cumulative margin
Your objections, our numbers-backed answers
"My accountant already handles the books, why add another tool?"
Your accountant sees the past — quarterly balance sheet, general ledger at D+45. Constrigo shows the present: per-project gross margin updated with every invoice, 90-day cash flow forecast, margin drift alerts. The accountant remains essential for the tax return; Constrigo gives you operational steering between two practice meetings.
"I check my bank balance, that's enough for me"
Your bank balance doesn't show the EUR 35,000 in invoices due next month, or the EUR 12,000 warranty hold releasable in 8 months. And it doesn't tell you that the Dupont project is at -4% margin while the Martin project is at +18%. Constrigo overlays actual cash, projected cash flow and per-project profitability — the bank balance is just one pixel of the full picture.
"Financial management tools are for large companies"
From 2 simultaneous projects, you need to know which one funds the other — and which one is eating your cash. Constrigo starts free, no commitment, and shows per-project margin from the first recorded invoice. Large companies have a full-time CFO; you have Constrigo doing the same job in 3 screens.

“Before, I'd learn about a jobsite's margin three months after the fact. My accountant would hand me the books and it was done. Now I see profitability lot by lot while the job is running. That changes everything for catching overruns early.”

You photograph the invoice you received: Constrigo automatically recognises the text and pre-fills the SIRET, the number, the dates and the net and gross amounts, with a suggested VAT rate. Recognition is not infallible — you stay in control: you match the supplier, add or adjust the lines, then confirm. The purchase invoice then feeds your expense tracking and your per-project profitability.

À propos de Constrigo
Construction financial management: full visibility on your cash flow and margins
Construction business owners often lack visibility on their cash flow and per-project margins. Between Excel spreadsheets, email exchanges with the accountant and manual reconciliations, financial management becomes a blind spot. Constrigo's Financial Management module provides a real-time dashboard that centralises invoiced revenue, collected revenue, gross margin and projected cash flow on a single screen.
Per-project profitability is calculated automatically by comparing invoiced revenue with actual costs (labour, materials, subcontracting). Variances against the original budget are flagged visually, enabling the owner to act before margins erode. The 30, 60 and 90-day cash flow forecast incorporates outstanding invoices, scheduled payments and recurring expenses.
The legally compliant FEC export and bidirectional sync with Pennylane, Sellsy or Cegid ensure your accounting is always up to date with zero double entry. Top projects, top clients and top risks are visible at a glance. Whether you are a sole trader managing 3 jobsites or a construction SME with 20 active projects, Constrigo turns your financial management into a competitive advantage.
