Contractor Portal

Collaborate across project teams with the Contractor Portal

The Contractor Portal provides external contractors with limited, secure access to key information, creating a collaborative link between project controls and commercial teams. Through the portal, contractors can download progress claims, update them and submit them for review by contract administrators.

Upon the progress claim values’ approval, they are committed in Contruent and each pay item has a percent complete calculation and a link to a Control Account. Cost Controllers can leverage the contractors progress claim within the system to generate their percent complete and ACWP/VOWD value; providing a robust dataset from which the delivery team can generate reports, analysis and variance explanations.
