Project and claim leakage
Progress overstatement, overlapping claim periods, unsupported milestones and duplicate claims.
Construction & Facilities
Stop value leakage between work delivered and money paid
RedOwl connects contracts, progress claims, variations, rosters, work orders, site evidence and invoices to uncover unsupported charges before they erode project and operating margins.
Built for complex projects, multi-site operations and high-volume contractor spend.
Construction & facilities margin leakage
Every project and property creates gaps between commercial intent and actual payment
Construction and facilities teams operate across contracts, subcontractors, service providers, project systems, site records, spreadsheets and finance platforms. RedOwl brings that evidence together, applies the relevant commercial rules and surfaces the exceptions that require human attention.
Contract and variation leakage
Unapproved scope changes, incorrect rates, exceeded caps and unenforced commercial terms.
Service-delivery leakage
Missing shifts, unsupported hours, missed maintenance visits and billed services that cannot be evidenced.
Payment and compliance leakage
Retention errors, deadline exposure, duplicate payments, bank-detail changes and weak audit trails.

Facilities control tower
One control layer across every property and service category
Give finance, commercial and facilities teams one view of spend, delivery evidence and exceptions across every site and supplier.

Case Study
Connecting service invoices with what happened on site
A major Australian multi-site property operator working with a large network of cleaning, security, waste and maintenance providers.
6Properties in the initial cleaning validation
3Suppliers in the initial data tranche
~120Service-provider companies in the broader environment
The challenge
Supplier invoices represented the amount requested for payment, but proof of delivery was distributed across rosters, timesheets, access-control records and work-order systems.
Validation scope
- Missing shifts
- Unsupported hours
- Rate discrepancies
- Resource substitutions
- Overlap between fixed and ad-hoc services
- Unverified waste collections
- Maintenance hours inconsistent with site attendance
- Missed planned-maintenance visits
Evidence chain
For every margin owner
Turn project and property questions into margin outcomes
Give every team responsible for project and property economics the same evidence-backed view of value at risk, the decision required and the financial outcome protected.
CFO & Finance
“How much project and property margin is exposed before the next payment run?”
Financial exposure
Margin is diluted when unsupported claims, off-contract rates and undelivered services pass through fragmented controls without a quantified owner.
- RedOwl outcomeProtect EBITDAQuantify leakage by project, property, supplier and root cause before settlement.
- RedOwl outcomeImprove working capitalPrevent unsupported cash outflow and accelerate evidence-backed supplier recovery.
- RedOwl outcomeStrengthen governanceGive the board a defensible prevention, recovery and decision trail.

Commercial Managers & Quantity Surveyors
“Does each claim reflect the contracted scope, certified work and approved variation value?”
Financial exposure
Progress overstatement, unapproved variations, rate drift and retention errors erode forecast final cost and project margin.
- RedOwl outcomeDefend project marginReconcile claims with schedules of value, certifications, prior claims and contract terms.
- RedOwl outcomeControl variationsSeparate base scope from approved change and enforce the correct valuation basis.
- RedOwl outcomeRecover with evidenceSupport each challenge or credit request with clause, record and calculation.

Project Controls
“Are cost, progress and earned value still aligned to the approved baseline?”
Financial exposure
Disconnected schedules, claims and actual cost allow quantity, milestone and period exceptions to remain hidden until forecast deterioration.
- RedOwl outcomeImprove forecast integrityConnect progress, cost and claim evidence at line-item level.
- RedOwl outcomeSurface variance earlierIdentify overlapping periods, unsupported milestones and emerging cost pressure.
- RedOwl outcomeProtect the control baselinePreserve a traceable reason for every approved exception.

Procurement
“Are suppliers billing the rates, caps and commercial terms we negotiated?”
Financial exposure
Rate-card drift, exceeded caps, missed credits and off-contract activity cause negotiated value to disappear after signature.
- RedOwl outcomeRetain negotiated valueApply contracted rates and caps to every relevant invoice line.
- RedOwl outcomeRecover supplier creditsIdentify overcharges with defensible commercial evidence.

Facilities & Operations
“Did the cleaning, security, waste or maintenance service actually occur as billed?”
Financial exposure
Missing shifts, unsupported hours and incomplete visits become recurring operating cost when delivery evidence sits outside finance.
- RedOwl outcomeReduce cost to serveMatch recurring and ad-hoc invoices with rosters, attendance and work orders.
- RedOwl outcomeImprove service accountabilityIdentify missed visits and unsupported resource substitutions.

Accounts Payable
“Which claims and invoices can be released, and which need intervention?”
Financial exposure
High-volume review obscures duplicate documents, overlapping charges and incomplete approval evidence.
- RedOwl outcomeFocus manual reviewRoute only material exceptions to the right owner.
- RedOwl outcomePrevent unsupported paymentHold duplicate or unevidenced cost before money moves.

Internal Audit & Risk
“Can we demonstrate that every material exception was checked and authorised?”
Financial exposure
Manual spreadsheets and dispersed evidence weaken assurance over claims, supplier changes and payment decisions.

- RedOwl outcomeImprove audit readinessRetain evidence, reason, owner and action in one record.
