Managing a construction project involves juggling dozens of tasks at once — labour attendance, material purchases, daily expenses, subcontractor payments, and client invoices. NirmanDesk's Project Menu brings all of this into one organized dashboard.
What is the Project Menu?
When you open a project in NirmanDesk, you get a complete project command centre. Every tab is designed for a specific part of your project workflow.
Project Overview
The first thing you see is the project summary — total budget, amount spent, and a breakdown by category:
- Labour costs
- Material purchases
- Expenses
- Subcontractor contracts
- Equipment costs
This gives you an instant picture of where your money is going.
Daily Logs
Record what happened on site every day. Add photos, notes, and progress updates. Daily logs help you:
- Keep clients informed
- Resolve disputes with documented evidence
- Track project progress week by week
Labour Management
The Labour tab lets you:
- Add workers to the project
- Record daily attendance (present, half-day, absent)
- Track wages automatically based on attendance
- Record advances and final payments
- Generate salary slips for each worker
No more manual wage calculations — NirmanDesk does it for you.
Materials
Track every material that comes to your site:
- Record purchases with quantity and price
- Track usage on site
- Get low-stock alerts when materials are running out
- View full purchase and usage history
Expenses
Add and approve project expenses — cement, transport, tools, or any other cost. The accountant can approve or reject expenses, keeping your budget under control.
Subcontractors
Manage all subcontractor work from one place:
- Add subcontractor contracts with agreed amounts
- Record work completion
- Track payments made and balance remaining
Equipment
Deploy equipment to your project site and track:
- Which equipment is currently in use
- Daily rental costs
- Equipment expenses like fuel and maintenance
Invoices
Send professional invoices to your clients directly from NirmanDesk:
- Auto-numbered invoice format (INV-2026-0001)
- Track payment status (draft, sent, paid)
- Download PDF invoices
Project Completion
When all work is done, mark the project as Complete. NirmanDesk checks everything before allowing completion:
- All expenses approved
- Labour wages cleared
- No pending invoices
- Equipment returned
- Subcontractor balances settled
This ensures nothing is missed before you close a project.
Conclusion
NirmanDesk's Project Menu is built for how contractors actually work — on site, managing multiple things at once. Whether you are a small contractor handling one project or a construction firm managing ten sites across different locations, every feature is designed to save you time and keep your finances organised.
