Villas funded from the Gulf, sheds going up on the KINFRA land at Mattannur, four-laning along the coast: Kannur builds steadily, and most builders learn a site's cost only after it closes.

Two things keep Kannur's contractors busy. The first is remittance money, which puts up houses, apartments and shop blocks along the road running east to the airport. The second is industrial and public work: sheds on the KINFRA land at Mattannur, four-laning on National Highway 66, and buildings for the local bodies. Most of it is done by firms running several sites from a small office.
Construction ERP software on ERPNext keeps the estimate and the actuals beside each other. Each project carries its budget by stage, purchases are raised against it, material issued to site is recorded, subcontractor and labour bills are certified against measured work, and client billing follows the agreed milestones. The owner can see committed and actual cost for every site without asking anybody for it.

Steel short at one site is taken from another on a supervisor's word, and by completion neither project's consumption means anything. Site-wise stores with transfer entries keep each job's cost honest.
A buyer in the Gulf paying by stage wants evidence before he releases money. Progress recorded against the schedule, with measured quantities and photographs, supports each demand, shortens the argument and brings the payment forward.
Contractors submit weekly claims that are settled so the gang returns on Monday, with reconciliation left for later. Work orders at agreed rates, and running bills taken from site measurements, keep advances, retention and balance clear for every contractor.
An example
A contractor with three jobs running has a slab pour on the airport road this Thursday. On Wednesday the site engineer raises the concrete and steel requirement on his phone against that project, and the office turns it into a purchase order at the rate agreed for the year. On Thursday the material received note is entered at the gate, the pour goes in as a measured quantity, and the labour contractor's attendance is recorded with it. On Friday the partner opens the project and sees committed cost against the budget for that stage without ringing the site. The client, who is in Dubai, gets the stage demand with the measurement sheet attached to it.
We come to your office and to at least one running site, because site practice decides what the system should capture and what it should leave alone. Project templates, item lists and approval limits are configured remotely with your engineers. Supervisors are trained at the site itself, in Malayalam, on a handful of phone entries. We stay close through the first project's full billing cycle.
Discovery. Your projects, sites, estimates, subcontractors and how costs are tracked today.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.
Configuration. Projects, budgets, BOQs, material requests, subcontracts and progress billing.
Data migration. Running projects with budgets, committed costs and opening stock at sites.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Construction and real estate
Project budgets, purchasing tied to the bill of quantities, site stores, subcontractor running bills, and unit-wise sales with stage demands and receivable tracking for villa and apartment builders around Kannur town and Thalassery.
Industrial shed and factory building
Civil and structural work on the KINFRA and growth-centre plots run as projects with their own budgets, retention and defect liability dates, so a contractor handing over a shed knows exactly what is still held back.
Plywood and timber
Joinery and interior contractors, drawing on the district's own board and veneer trade, running many small jobs at once with material estimates per job, workshop and site labour kept apart, and billing by stage.
Through four short mobile forms: material received, material used, labour present, work measured. Each takes a minute. Where coverage is poor on the hill roads, entries sync when the supervisor is back in signal, and the office handles anything harder.
Yes. Each unit carries its buyer, agreed value and payment schedule. Demands are raised as stages complete, receipts are matched, and an ageing report shows dues by buyer.
Yes. Project costing, purchasing, subcontracting and client billing apply in full to a contracting firm, and the property sales part is left unused. Government and private works run side by side with separate billing formats.
After a first conversation about your projects, sites and how costs and billing are tracked today, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about your projects and sites, and where cost or billing slips today. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
Kannur International Airport, Mattannur (CNN)transport
international airport 28 km east of Kannur, opened 9 December 2018; cargo terminal planned under Phase I expansion
The airport has pulled houses, halls and commercial blocks along the road running east from Kannur town, which is where most of the district's private building work now sits.

128-acre KINFRA park on Temple Road, Mattannur, for general non-polluting industries; 6 km from Kannur International Airport and 28 km from Kannur railway station.
An industrial park a few kilometres from the airport means civil contracts for sheds and utilities, work that is billed on measurement and carries retention long after handover.

coastal highway through Payyanur, Kannur and Thalassery linking Kozhikode and Mangaluru; four-laning under way
Four-laning along the coast keeps earthwork, culvert and structure contractors busy between Payyanur and Thalassery, with plant and material moving between stretches all year.

About 10.4 hectares of government land handed over for an IT park run as the first spoke of Cyberpark Kozhikode's hub-and-spoke model; described as a project, not an operating park.
Land set aside for an IT park is future civil work rather than tenants today, and a builder bidding for that kind of job will be asked for measured billing.
