SCREENSHOTS

The Projects page — Projects: every job with its contract value, percent complete, billed, open RFIs, pending changes and budget health; the portfolio by status and office beside it.

The project hub: contract, budget, RFIs, changes, materials, the site's weather for the week, what needs attention, recent activity.

The Budget page — Budget: labour, material and other by phase and cost code, the mix by cost type, the top phases, committed and billed against each line.

The Reports page — Reports: the logs the general contractor asks for at every meeting, each a PDF on your letterhead, generated one at a time or all at once and e-mailed.

Import budget: a job cost export from BuzzBID, Quick Bid or Plexxis, a CSV, or the awarded job read straight from the Verso company server.

Settings: the person on the desk, the company, vendors, cost code rules, approvals, markups, integrations, the database and its backup.

Materials, orders, pay apps, change orders, RFIs and milestones each have a page of their own in the app; they are shown here once the demo job carries them. The full description is on its page at deselt.com.

FROM ESTIMATING TO THE JOB

From a file: the sold bid's job cost in the Job Cost layout from Verso Plans' Reports page, or the same export from BuzzBID or Quick Bid, one line per area, type and accounting code, becomes the budget.
From the company server: Settings, Integrations, Verso company server takes the server and the Build reader login; Import budget, From Verso company server lists the jobs the office awarded in Verso Manager and reads the picked job's cost lines as the budget. Nothing is exported and nothing is written back.
For integrators: six read-only views on the company database carry the jobs, the bids, the job cost, the plan files, the documents and the proposals; a reader login sees the views and nothing else. The contract document is available from Support.

Change orders

A change order is priced in Verso Plans as a bid of its own under the sold bid, at the change order rates. In Verso Build it stands against the contract with its stage, its dates and its submitted and approved amounts, and the change order log reports them.

Savings

The production copy of the sold bid is where buyout happens. Sold less production is the saving, shown on the Manager's Awarded page as it moves and carried into the budget.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A licence key from deselt.com. Verso Plans and Verso Manager are not required; the hand-off from them is optional. The data lives in a local file, or on SQL Server for an office with several desks.
