Today
Finance teams rebuild billing sheets from the BOQ every cycle, copying formulas and risking calculation mismatches on every submission.
With MG Build
Previous certified quantities carry forward on the contract BOQ, letting you enter this month's progress without rebuilding sheets.
Retention and advance deduction errors
Today
Deducting advance recovery and retention percentages manually across line items creates disputes with clients and delays final payment.
With MG Build
Retention and advance recoveries calculate on every certificate against the contract value, keeping cumulative totals clear for billing.
Disputed cumulative quantities
Today
Site engineers submit paper measurements while accounts track previous certificates, leaving teams unable to confirm what was certified to date.
With MG Build
Contract quantities, previously certified amounts and current measured progress sit side by side on every BOQ line for review.
Subcontractor certificates out of sync
Today
Subcontractors claim progress before work is measured on site, leading to overpayment before client certificates are even submitted.
With MG Build
Subcontract orders and work certificates are checked against measured work actually done on site before any subcontractor payment is released.

How it works
How progress certificates work in MG Build

2

4

How does progress billing connect to the project BOQ?
Progress certificates draw directly from the contract BOQ items. You enter current measured quantities, and the system tracks previous certified amounts and cumulative totals against the contract.
How are retention and advance payments deducted on certificates?
Retention and advance recoveries apply to each progress certificate based on contract terms, keeping cumulative deductions clear without manual spreadsheet calculations.
Can we manage subcontractor payment certificates as well?
Yes. Subcontract orders, work certificates and payments are checked against measured work actually completed on site before anything is paid to subcontractors.
Are progress certificates available in Arabic and English?
Yes. Screens, progress certificates, client invoices and financial reports are fully available in Arabic and English with right-to-left layout support.
How is MG Build priced, and do we pay per project or user?
There are no per-user fees. In Kuwait, the Essential package is KWD 45 per month per system with a one-time KWD 100 setup fee including 3 free support hours.
