Archdesk

Software for Renewables EPC Contractors

The best renewables EPCs run on Archdesk

The rest carry fixed-price risk on floating spreadsheets.

You've wrapped the price, the date and the performance. Archdesk tracks the exposure: procurement built for 80-week transformer leads, subcontractor packages certified against budget, commissioning evidence built as you go, and LD dates visible from day one. Margin defended from NTP to energization.

Fixed price. Floating risk. Three places it leaks.

An EPC wrap means every delay and every overrun lands on your margin. Archdesk watches the three places it happens.

Archdesk procurement: purchase orders and delivery milestones for long-lead equipment tracked against the program

The transformer decides your program. And your LDs.

80-week lead items tracked as committed cost from the day the PO is raised, and as milestones on the tasks they gate. Slippage visible the week it happens, against the grid date it threatens.

Archdesk subcontractor certification: package valuations certified against budget

Your subcontractors' progress is your exposure.

Every package valued against budget as work is delivered. Certified value, not claimed value, is what your margin position is built on.

Archdesk site forms: QA and test records captured against the project

Commissioning evidence the owner's engineer accepts first time.

QA and test records captured in the field as work completes, building the energization pack as you go. Not assembled in a panic the month before.

One system from NTP to energization

The price you signed and the margin you finish with are the same record.
Every stage in between writes to it.
1

Bid & contract

The fixed price built from real cost data, with the exclusions and assumptions on the record.

2

NTP & procurement

Long-lead orders raised as committed cost, delivery milestones sitting on the tasks they gate.

3

Civils & balance of plant

Packages tendered on scope, awarded without re-keying, progress recorded from the field.

4

Installation

Mechanical and electrical packages certified against budget as work is delivered, not as claimed.

5

Commissioning

QA and test evidence captured as it happens, the energization pack building itself.

6

Energization & handover

The grid date met with the documentation ready, and the final margin position already known.

Solutions for a Modern Renewables EPC

Construction Procurement

Buy-out without the gaps: RFQs from your BOQ lines, bids back comparable, exclusions visible before award. Then every PO and subcontract lands on the budget the moment it's raised.

Construction Cost Controlling

Committed at the PO, earned as work is delivered, invoiced months later. See all three stages against every budget line, so variance is a decision you make, not a number you explain.

Construction Scheduling

The schedule connected to what it depends on: long-lead deliveries on the tasks they gate, crews planned across every live job, slippage shown with its cost.

Construction Job Costing

What you priced is what you track. The winning estimate becomes the budget, actuals land against it line by line, and what jobs really cost feeds the next bid.

Construction Project Management

The schedule, the progress and the money in one system. When a task slips you see what it costs, and when scope changes you see what it does to the schedule. 'On track' means the Gantt chart and the bank account.

Construction Document Management

Nobody builds from a superseded drawing. Revision control, approvals and distribution with proof of who received what, when. The record that wins the dispute instead of losing it.

Construction Financials

Certify subcontractor valuations down, build client applications up, from the same records. Invoices, payment notices and retention on statutory time, with the audit trail attached.

Construction Live Data

Every project's position, live, from the data that ran the work. Cost, schedule and cash agree with each other because they're the same records. There's nothing to assemble and nothing to reconcile.

Renewables EPC contractor FAQs

What does Archdesk help renewables EPC contractors manage?

Archdesk helps solar and wind EPC contractors manage long-lead equipment procurement, subcontractor packages and certification, site records and QA capture, commissioning documentation, variations, and cost control in one connected platform, from NTP to energization.

Does Archdesk work for both solar and wind projects?

Yes. Archdesk is used on utility-scale solar, onshore wind and battery storage projects. The structure is the same: a fixed-price wrap, long-lead equipment, subcontracted packages and a grid date, and Archdesk tracks all of it regardless of the technology.

How does Archdesk handle long-lead equipment like transformers and HV switchgear?

Purchase orders hit the project budget as committed cost the moment they are raised. Deliveries sit as milestones on the tasks they gate, so an 80-week transformer lead that starts slipping shows up in the program the week it happens, against the grid date it threatens.

Can Archdesk manage subcontractor packages on an EPC project?

Yes. You can tender packages, compare bids on scope rather than headline price, turn awards into contracts, and certify progress against budget as work is delivered. Your margin position is built on certified value, not claimed value.

How does Archdesk help with commissioning and energization documentation?

QA records, test results and inspection forms are captured in the field as work completes, and every record lives against the project. The energization pack builds itself as you go, so what you hand to the owner's engineer is assembled from records that already exist, not reconstructed in the month before energization.

Can site teams use Archdesk on remote sites?

Yes. Site teams record progress, complete QA forms and log timesheets from their phones. What they record lands against the project in real time, so the office sees progress on a site three hours away without waiting for the weekly call.

How does Archdesk handle variations and change orders on a fixed-price EPC contract?

Scope changes and employer instructions are captured, priced and pushed through approval with the record attached. Approved variations update the cost to complete immediately, so your margin position moves when the scope moves, not at the final account.

Can Archdesk manage several sites at the same time?

Yes. Each project carries its own budget, program and records, and portfolio dashboards show the position across all of them. You see which sites are holding their grid date and their margin, and which are drifting, without opening each one.

Does Archdesk integrate with accounting software?

Yes. Archdesk integrates with Xero (as a certified partner), Sage, QuickBooks and other accounting systems, so invoices, payments and costs flow between commercial and finance teams without re-keying.
