From the bill of quantities to the last retention release.
Hayat Projects runs a construction or engineering contract inside Hayat ERP: the BOQ and its budget, what the site does every day, the work measured, the certificates you raise on the client and the subcontractors you pay. Client bills are normal Sales invoices and subcontractor bills normal Purchasing bills, so balances always agree with the rest of Hayat.

Features
The whole contract on one project page
Set up the BOQ once, let the site record the work, and bill the client from what was measured.
Budgets
Each BOQ item has a budget for material, labour, plant, subcontract and overhead. The overview shows budget, actual and committed cost, the estimate at completion and the margin.
Budget vs actual
Gantt & milestones
A Gantt chart from the WBS with dependencies, milestones as diamonds and late items in red. Overdue milestones notify the project manager.
Schedule
Site diary
One page per day: weather, manpower by trade, equipment, work done, delays, visitors, safety notes and photos.
Daily
Progress measurement
Enter the quantity done per BOQ item. Measurements drive the % complete, the Gantt bars and the next payment certificate.
Measured work
Materials & site store
Material requests from site, approved and fulfilled from a store, by transfer to the site store or by purchase requisition. Consumption is posted when material is used.
Requests
Labour, plant & expenses
Timesheets for payroll staff or daily-wage labour, paying wages, own and hired plant hours, and petty site expenses.
Site costs
IPCs & retention
Advance, interim and final certificates from measured quantities, with retention, advance recovery, sales tax and income tax withheld. Certifying posts a Sales invoice.
Running bills
Variations & subcontracts
Variation orders with approval once the BOQ is locked. Subcontract work orders with measured bills, retention and deductions, posted to Purchasing.

IPCs & accounts
Billing that matches what the client owes
Net payable, worked out: each interim certificate bills the work measured since the last one, adds sales tax, and takes off retention, advance recovery and income tax withheld. The client's balance in Sales is exactly the net payable.
The BOQ lock: once the first interim or final IPC is certified, quantities and rates cannot change. From then on changes go through a variation order, which updates the BOQ and the revised contract value when it is approved.
Alerts and AI: every 12 hours Hayat checks each project and tells the project manager when actual plus committed cost reaches the overrun alert % of budget, or a milestone is overdue. Hayat AI, when switched on, can draft BOQ lines from a scope of work and list risk notes on the project page. Nothing is saved until you import or act.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Hayat Projects?
Hayat Projects is the construction and engineering project module of Hayat ERP. It covers the WBS and BOQ with budgets, the site diary, progress measurement, interim payment certificates with retention, variation orders, subcontractors, the Gantt schedule and project P&L.
Can I import my BOQ from Excel?
Yes. Paste the sheet or choose a CSV file. Columns are found by their header names, codes that already exist are updated, and rows with problems are listed with the reason.
How are interim payment certificates (running bills) worked out?
Hayat takes the quantity measured to date per BOQ item at the BOQ rate, less previous certificates. It adds sales tax and deducts retention, advance recovery and income tax withheld to give the net payable.
Does it handle retention on both sides?
Yes. Retention held by the client goes to Retention receivable and is released on a retention release certificate. Retention held from subcontractors goes to Retention payable and is released on the work order.
How are subcontractors billed?
A subcontract work order gives part of the BOQ to a Purchasing supplier at agreed rates. Each measured bill posts as a Purchasing bill, with retention and deductions as supplier credit notes.
Does the sales tax on a certificate appear on an FBR e-invoice?
No. The sales tax on a certificate is moved to Sales tax payable by a journal, not charged through the sales tax engine, so it does not appear as tax on an FBR or Gulf e-invoice.
