Where Singapore projects tend to lose money

How it worksBudget, committed and actual, per site, every day.
Target cost and collaborative contracts make tracking cost against target a daily task.
How it worksClaimed, certified, received and outstanding, per site.

Terms used on Singapore sites
The words differ from place to place; the records behind them are the same.
- payment claim
- A claim for progress payment served under the Security of Payment Act.
- payment response
- The respondent's written reply stating the amount it will pay.
- adjudication
- A fast statutory process to decide a payment dispute.
- BTO
- Build-To-Order, the HDB public housing flat programme.
- target cost contract
- A contract where parties share savings and overruns against an agreed target, as in NEC4.
Singapore's Security of Payment Act lets a claimant serve a payment claim, requires a payment response, and allows adjudication through the Singapore Mediation Centre if the claimant disagrees with the response or is not paid.

- Can contractors in Singapore use ERP Infra?
- Yes. ERP Infra is web-based: office staff use it in a browser and site staff in a phone browser, so it can be used on projects in Singapore. Demos and onboarding are done online by the Flip Retail team.
- Does ERP Infra have an office in Singapore?
- No. ERP Infra is made by Flip Retail, based in Jaipur, India. Work with companies in Singapore is done remotely, starting with a one-month pilot on one project.
- What should a construction company in Singapore check before choosing an ERP?
- Check that it is organised by project and site, that site staff can use it on a phone, and that it can show the same evening what a site cost and whether material used matched the work done. Then ask for a pilot on one of your own projects before committing.
Let’s put every site on one screen.
Tell us how many projects and sites you run. We will walk you through the system on a call and suggest where a pilot would pay back first.
