What Construction does

  • MB to RA bill

    The measurement book feeds the running account bill through a waterfall that carries deductions and retention properly.

  • Schedule that means something

    WBS with CPM scheduling and a critical path, not a bar chart maintained separately.

  • Earned value

    EVM costing so progress and spend are compared on the same axis.

Questions

Does it handle subcontractor billing?+

Yes — subcontract work orders with their own measurement and certification.

Which edition includes Construction?+

Construction is in the Cloud Suite only. It is not part of the Desktop Suite, and we mark that plainly on every card and page rather than leaving it to be discovered after purchase. If Construction is why you are here, the Cloud Suite is the edition to choose.

What does Construction actually include?+

BOQ, measurement book, RA billing, CPM and EVM. In practice that means mb to ra bill, schedule that means something and earned value — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.

Does Construction work with the rest of LekhaPro, or is it separate?+

It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Construction reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.

What else comes with Construction?+

Construction sits in the Industry group of the catalogue, alongside Pharma, Real Estate, Distribution, Retail Chains and Logistics & Fleet and 7 more. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.

Does Construction work offline?+

Construction is a Cloud Suite application, so it needs a connection — it runs in the browser against your tenant rather than a local file. If working with the internet off is a hard requirement for your business, the Desktop edition is the one to look at, and it does not include Construction.

Is there AI in Construction?+

Not as a feature of this application, and we would rather say so than claim it. The AI surfaces in LekhaPro — Copilot, the CFO, the deterministic insight engines — read the data Construction produces, so its records inform them, but Construction itself is deliberately a plain, fast, keyboard-first application.

Which businesses is Construction for?+

It is built for Construction & Trades and Real Estate & Developers in particular, and it is not exclusive to them — Construction is part of the horizontal suite, so any business on LekhaPro can switch it on. Those trades are named because their industry pages describe how Construction is used in that specific line of work.

Can I control who sees Construction?+

Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Construction without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.

Does Construction cost extra?+

Construction is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.
