Management software for general contractors in Québec
You coordinate subcontractors, you manage change orders, and you carry the holdback on contracts that last for months.
The sore spot
Knowing where a job site's margin stands before it's finished.
What changes for you
- Budget per phase and per category, with committed costs — subcontracts and purchase orders —, actual spend and estimated margin; end-of-project projection.
- Approved change orders that adjust the contract amount, and get invoiced.
- holdback tracked per project, released by a release invoice; CCA-5B table on progress invoices.
- Subcontractors: RBQ licence and CNESST certificate verified before paying; ledger of invoices, payments and holdback per subcontractor.
- Payment protection: the notices received and the releases to obtain, with their dates, on every project.
- Crew scheduling with assignment-conflict detection; a site supervisor who manages phases, documents and meetings without touching the contract.

Frequently asked questions
How does BatiCore compute the margin of a job site in progress?
By comparing, phase by phase, the planned cost with the actual cost — timesheets × rates, purchase orders, equipment hours, subcontracting — not with the selling price. The overrun alert fires while there is still margin left; the end-of-project projection says what the job will cost if it keeps going at the same pace.
Can I pay a subcontractor whose CNESST certificate has expired?
BatiCore shows you before the payment — Compliance column in red on the subcontractor's record, with the expiry date. It doesn't block the payment: the decision stays yours, but you make it knowing your joint liability.
