Construction and engineering
HR, payroll and compliance for contractors and engineering firms with site crews, subcontractors and project-based contracts.
Common HR challenges in this sector
Sound familiar?
- Site crews and casual workers coming and going with each project
- Subcontractors and direct employees on different terms
- Site safety training that needs to be documented
- Project allowances, site wallets and supplier payments that need approvals
- Contracts that end with the project, and final dues to calculate
How Nexalia Technologies supports this
Nexalia Expense gives each site a wallet and approval limits for supplier and casual payments. Nexalia HCM handles payroll and records for permanent and project staff.

Project, site stock and procurement system
One place for projects, site stores, suppliers and subcontractors, so materials and costs are not tracked in separate notebooks. This is another way we serve construction and engineering, alongside Nexalia HR and payroll. It is built to order and scoped in writing, so we confirm exactly what you get before you commit.
Typical parts of the system
- Project and site records
- Requisitions, purchase orders and approvals
- Site stores and materials issued
- Subcontractor and supplier invoices
- Casual labour and site attendance
Nexalia POS features that fit this sector

Frequently asked questions
Can you help with project-based contracts?
Yes. We draft fixed-term and project contracts that match the work, and help you calculate final dues when a project ends. The free final dues calculator on this site gives a first estimate.
Can you help us control site spending?
Yes. Nexalia Expense gives each site a wallet and approval limits, so spending is recorded as it happens.
