12 guides from the team that builds BuilderOne on how a contractor bill, a project’s profit, an owner’s balance or an investor’s share should reach the ledger — written from what the product does, not from what software marketing usually says. Each one names the module it describes and what the product does not do.
Contractor bills, commitments, receipts and site payroll — and how each reaches the project cost.
Construction accounting
How a contractor bill, a retention hold and a mobilisation advance should reach the general ledger: the documents, the postings, a worked example, and the controls that stop the project cost from being wrong.
Construction cost control
Why actual cost alone understates what a construction project will cost: budget, live contract commitment, cost incurred, cash paid and open commitment, how BuilderOne measures each, and what it deliberately does not forecast.
Construction procurement
How a purchase order, a goods or service receipt and a vendor bill are matched before anything is paid: quantity, price, receipt, exceptions, project attribution and payment readiness, as BuilderOne Procurement enforces them.
Project payroll
How a payroll run becomes project cost: employee allocations to projects by percentage and date, the snapshot a run takes, which components become expense, the department and project dimensions on every posting, and what it means for project profit.
Units, agreements, instalments, receipts and the receivable that sits behind them.
Property sales accounting
From an available unit to collected cash: reservation, booking, selling agreement, the instalment schedule, invoices, receipts and their allocation, receivables ageing, the customer ledger, and what transfers and cancellations do to all of it.
ExplainsProject SellingCRMAccounting
Rent, deposits, owners and the statement that has to reconcile.
Rental management
What a rental owner statement has to show, why the owner’s balance should be derived from postings rather than typed, how service charges, property expenses, deposits and payouts each move it, and the rules that stop an owner being overpaid.
ExplainsRentalAccounting
The ledger under all of it: the chart, the project dimension, WIP and investor capital.
Project accounting
Why “did this project make money?” cannot be answered from a workbook, what a project dimension on every posting changes, how project-scoped statements reconcile to the company’s, and what certified project profit means for investors.

Property accounting
How a property developer’s chart of accounts should be structured: cash and bank, receivables and advances, contractor and vendor payables, owner liabilities, security deposits, retention, project cost, revenue, equity and investor capital — with the seeded BuilderOne chart as a worked example.
Construction accounting policy
A careful separation of product mechanics from accounting policy: what BuilderOne records, posts, attributes to a project and reports about construction cost and sales revenue — and the work-in-progress, capitalisation and revenue-recognition decisions that remain an accountant’s to make.
Investor accounting
How investor capital should be accounted for inside a property ERP: the investor record, capital contributions, the position by project, certified project profit, allocation, payout and the investor ledger — and the ledger postings behind each. An accounting guide, not investment advice.
ExplainsInvestor ManagementAccounting
Getting off spreadsheets and generic accounting software without losing the numbers.
ERP migration
A practical migration order for a property business leaving spreadsheets: chart of accounts and opening balances first, then projects, units and parties, then contracts and agreements, then the open documents — and how to reconcile at every step so nothing is lost.
Choosing a system
The category difference between a general accounting package and a property lifecycle ERP: one records financial events, the other also models the projects, units, agreements, contractors, rent and bookings that cause them. What changes when you move, what does not, and when the move is not worth it.
