For joinery, stone, facades, fit-out, M&E and landscape contractors on high-end work. Aurian writes up every instruction and variation while it is happening, priced from your rates, so it reaches a valuation instead of a final-account argument. It holds the week as well: who is on which package, who is free, and what each one is making against the price you gave.
A detail gets revised, the programme moves, an instruction arrives verbally on site and everyone carries on. By the time anyone writes it up, the month's valuation has gone in without it, and you are arguing about it at final account with a photograph and a memory. Aurian writes it up the day it happens, prices it from your rates, and has it approved and ready to go into the next valuation.
A photograph and a line from site becomes a priced variation the same day, approved by you before it goes anywhere. Nothing gets absorbed because nobody had time to write it up.
Labour and materials against the price you tendered, while the work is live, so the package that is losing money tells you in week one rather than at the end.
Every person, every package, every day. Who is doubled up, who is free, which site is going to need two more. When a main contractor asks whether you can take another floor, you know before you answer.
A voice note and photographs from site become a priced quotation on your own paper, at your rates, with your margin. You approve it from your phone.
Deposits, staged billing, part payments, Xero two-way, and the applications and invoices raised from the programme rather than from memory.
Contractors running teams across more than one site, on work where the specification is detailed and the client is paying for a standard. Not a single crew with a single job.
Ten minutes, your own numbers, one figure. Four leaks, all of them things that already happened, none of them guesses about work you might have won. Nothing is stored unless you ask us to send you the result.
Your figures stay as you typed them. Only the symbol and our prices change.
Aurian Practice costs £11,988 a year, ex VAT (Studio £4,188, Practice £11,988, Firm £23,988).
Recoverable: £47,000.
What Aurian would change
Not on this list, and deliberately: the work you might have won if you had known you had room. We cannot count that honestly, so we have left it out. The figure above is only money that already left the building.
Send a voice note about something you are pricing this week to hello@aurian.app, with a photograph or two. We send the priced quotation back the same day, on a clean Aurian template, because we do not have your rates yet. No call needed.
