Why do you need construction acts software?

Acts for completed work are the foundation of billing in construction. Errors, delays or mismatches between acts and contracts lead to disputes and delayed payments. Specialized software eliminates these problems.

Manual Excel entry

Creating an act in Excel from scratch each time takes hours. Calculation errors, forgotten VAT, mismatches with contract. Software creates acts in minutes.

No approval workflow

Act is created, emailed to supervisor, signed on paper. Time wasted, no audit trail. Create → Approve → Sign workflow automates the process.

Mismatch with contract

The act must align with contract positions. Manual transfer causes errors. Contract linking ensures consistency.

Lost in folders

Acts in Word, signed on paper, scanned and uploaded to Dropbox. Which is the latest? Who signed? Centralized system gives instant answers.

Key features of acts software

Construction Hub covers the full act lifecycle — from creation to signed and invoiced.

Create from contract

Link act to contract and pre-fill positions, prices and values. For contractor role — generate income act (INCOME); for supplier contract — expense act (EXPENSE).

Workflow — Create → Approve → Sign

Act starts in DRAFT status. Supervisor reviews and approves, responsible person signs. Every step with timestamp and user, full audit trail.

Supervisor (technical oversight)

Each act has a supervisor from your company — the technical manager responsible for inspection. The supervisorId field is required for formal approval.

Excel import

Batch import acts from Excel — use existing files with positions and quantities, system creates them at once. Fast upload of historical data.

PDF export with logo

Generate act as PDF with your company logo, all positions, VAT calculations and signature area. Localized in 12 languages.

Document chain and reject

See what chain of documents is linked to the act — contract, previous acts, invoices. On mismatch — reject with reason, act returns to DRAFT for correction.

How Construction Hub works for acts

Four steps from work done to signed act:

1

1. Create

Select contract (or partner), site, date, value. Add positions manually or by linking to contract positions. Configure VAT, type (INCOME/EXPENSE), supervisor.

2

2. Review and approve

Supervisor gets notification and reviews act. If OK — approves. If not — rejects with comment, act returns to DRAFT for edit.

3

3. Sign

After approval, responsible person signs the act. signedBy and signedAt are recorded. Act becomes final and linkable to invoice.

4

4. Export and bill

Generate PDF with company logo. Act is in document chain — you can invoice it or use in payment certificate for cumulative accumulation.

Frequently asked questions about acts software

What is the lifecycle of an act?+

DRAFT → (optionally Approved) → Signed. Each step requires appropriate permission. Reject returns act to DRAFT for correction. Every action has timestamp and user.

Can I have an act without a contract?+

Yes. For direct expenses without contract, create act linked directly to a partner (partnerId) without contractId. Useful for ad-hoc services.

What's the difference between INCOME and EXPENSE acts?+

INCOME act is for work done by you (you're the contractor, generating income). EXPENSE act is for work done for you (by a subcontractor — your expense).

Can I import existing acts from Excel?+

Yes, via the importFromExcel function. Upload an Excel file, system recognizes the structure and creates acts in bulk. Useful when migrating from an old system.

What is a document chain?+

Document chain shows all linked documents — from contract, through acts, to final invoice. See the full chain with one click for any act.

How is an act linked to an invoice?+

After signing the act, you can generate an invoice from it. Positions, values and VAT transfer automatically. The act↔invoice link is visible in document chain.

Can I sign an act with a digital signature?+

Currently signAct marks the act as signed in the system with user and time. Cryptographic e-signature with qualified certificate is on the roadmap.
