Why Construction Businesses Choose ProScope
Built natively within NetSuite, ProScope enhances NetSuite for Construction companies by combining industry-specific construction functionality with
enterprise-grade financial management in a single platform.
Instead of forcing teams to work across multiple specialist applications, spreadsheets and integrations, ProScope brings the entire construction
lifecycle together through five connected workbenches, each designed around the way construction teams actually operate.
Everything from pre-construction and estimating through to subcontractor management, project delivery, billing and executive reporting is connected
through one shared data model, creating a golden thread of information across the business.
One platform. One golden thread. Complete control from opportunity to final account.
Win Work
Turn Opportunities into Profitable Projects with Connected Pre-construction and AI-Powered Estimating
Build a stronger pipeline, improve bid accuracy and create a seamless transition from opportunity through to project delivery.
Construction businesses need to quickly assess opportunities, understand project requirements and determine whether they align with operational capacity, resources and commercial objectives. By bringing pipeline activity, historical project performance, resource availability and bid information together in one place, ProScope enhances NetSuite for Construction by helping teams qualify opportunities earlier and focus effort on the work most likely to deliver profitable outcomes.
Embedded AI accelerates the entire estimating process helping teams:
- Intelligently import Bills of Quantities
- Automate quantity take-offs
- Identify pricing and delivery risks
- Validate estimating assumptions
- Improve bid accuracy and profitability visibility
Subcontractors can submit quotations directly into the platform, attach supporting documentation and update pricing in real time, allowing commercial teams to compare pricing, perform bid levelling and manage tender responses in real time.
Once work is awarded, approved estimates, budgets, resource requirements and commercial information flow directly into project delivery with no duplicate entry or lost information.
Source & Buy
Control Commitments Before They Become Costs
Avoid delays, protect margins and ensure the right materials, equipment and resources are available when they're needed.
Construction projects depend on effective procurement, reliable supplier coordination and visibility of committed costs. Without insight into stock levels, order status, lead times and future commitments, delays and unexpected costs can quickly impact project delivery and profitability.
The Source & Buy Workbench brings procurement, inventory and supplier management together in a single connected workspace. By linking materials, equipment and procurement activity directly to project tasks, budgets and milestones, teams gain instant visibility into inventory levels, order status, lead times, commitments and projected costs throughout the project lifecycle.
Providing visibility into:
- Inventory levels and availability
- Purchase orders and commitments
- Supplier lead times
- Projected costs and commitments
- Future cost exposure
Every procurement decision is connected back to the project, allowing commercial and operational teams to understand future cost exposure before invoices arrive.
For businesses managing owned or hired equipment, ProScope's rental capabilities support the allocation, tracking and billing of plant and machinery from both sides, ensuring resources are available where and when they're needed while maintaining complete financial control.
Manage & Control
Run Projects with Confidence Through Live Forecasting and Complete Delivery Visibility
Understand project performance, deploy resources effectively and identify issues before they impact margins or schedules.
The Manage & Control Workbench provides a complete view of project delivery from mobilization through to completion, connecting project teams, subcontractors, resources and commercial controls within a single workspace.
By combining a comprehensive resource and subcontractor database with intuitive planning tools and live financial data, ProScope enhances NetSuite for Construction, helping teams accurately forecast, deploy and manage resources across both future and live projects.
Advanced capabilities include:
- Crew assembly
- Competency-based allocations
- Intercompany resourcing
- Shift pattern management
- Compliance and entitlement tracking
As costs, commitments, subcontractor activity, progress updates and variations are recorded, forecasts update automatically, providing visibility into cost to complete, forecast final position, project health and commercial risk.
Bill & Collect
Turn Project Progress into Faster Applications, Billing and Cash Collection
Accelerate cash flow while simplifying complex construction billing and revenue management.
With project, commercial and financial information already connected, billing becomes faster, more accurate and significantly less administrative.
Extending NetSuite for Construction with industry-specific billing capabilities, ProScope automates applications, retentions, milestone payments and revenue management from live project data.
Supporting:
- AIA Billing
- Progress Applications
- Schedule of Values (SOV)
- Change Order Billing
- Retentions & Retainage Management
- Revenue Recognition
Teams can generate AIA applications, progress billings, valuations, schedules of values and retention calculations directly from project performance, ensuring billing accurately reflects completed work.
Because project delivery and finance operate from the same data model, billing always reflects actual project performance, improving cash flow, billing accuracy and financial visibility.
Steer the Business
Gain Complete Visibility Across Projects, Cash Flow and Financial Performance
Bring project delivery and financial management together to make faster, more informed decisions.
Construction projects rarely follow the original plan. Scope changes, unexpected costs, resource pressures and evolving client requirements can all impact schedules, budgets and profitability.
The Steer the Business Workbench brings project performance, commercial controls and financial management together in a single workflow, helping teams identify issues earlier and take action before they affect project outcomes.
Gain visibility across:
- Project Health
- Portfolio Performance
- Cash Flow Forecasting
- Revenue Forecasting
- WIP Reporting
- Margin Performance
From a portfolio-level view, users can drill directly into individual projects, subsidiaries, commitments and transactions. AI-generated insights help identify emerging risks, highlight forecast movements and surface projects requiring attention before issues impact business performance.

Frequently asked questions
How can construction companies reduce their reliance on spreadsheets?
The most effective way for construction companies to reduce spreadsheet dependency is to replace disconnected systems with a single construction ERP platform. By combining NetSuite's financial management, project accounting and reporting capabilities with ProScope's native construction functionality, businesses can manage estimating, job costing, subcontractor management, billing, procurement, inventory, plant and project delivery within one system.
Because ProScope is built natively within NetSuite, all construction, operational and financial data is held within a single data model. This eliminates manual workarounds, duplicate data entry and reconciliation, while enabling AI-powered automation, real-time visibility and more reliable reporting as the business grows.
Is NetSuite a good ERP for construction companies?
Yes, NetSuite provides a strong cloud ERP foundation for construction businesses, offering financial management, resource planning, reporting, project accounting, revenue recognition and operational visibility within a single platform.
In addition, ProScope is built natively within NetSuite, extending the platform to tackle unique construction industry requirements such as estimating, job costing, subcontractor management, billing, retentions, inventory and rentals. Because ProScope operates within NetSuite's single data model, organisations can manage construction and financial processes without relying on third-party integrations or disconnected systems.
Does NetSuite need construction add-ons to support construction operations?
Yes, for most construction companies, additional construction-specific functionality is needed to manage areas from estimating to contractors, plant, project delivery and industry-specific billing processes.
ProScope is the leading construction SuiteApp built natively within NetSuite, delivering these capabilities within the same platform used to manage financials, reporting and business operations. Unlike solutions that rely on integrating separate construction and finance systems, ProScope shares the same NetSuite data structure, providing a single source of truth across project, operational and financial data.
How quickly can a construction company go live with NetSuite?
Many construction companies can go live with NetSuite in as little as 4-6 months, with more complex deployments typically taking 6-12 months, depending on scope, operational complexity, data quality and business requirements. By implementing ProScope natively within NetSuite, contractors can manage financials, project accounting and construction operations within a single platform, reducing integration complexity and accelerating time-to-value compared to deploying and connecting multiple systems.
Can the system be implemented modularly?
Yes. NetSuite and ProScope can be implemented in phases, allowing construction companies to prioritise the capabilities that deliver the greatest immediate value. Many organisations start with financials and billing, procurement, project controls, estimating, and subcontractor management, before adding additional users and modules to tackle specific functions and projects once the core system is established. This shortens to time to go-live whilst normally increasing system adoption.
