OraOS Construction brings project delivery, commercial control, cost, programme, procurement, certificates, cash and profitability into one connected operating system, so the figure on the board pack and the figure on site are the same figure.
The demonstration opens on a fully populated construction company. No account, no email address, no wait.

Most construction businesses are not short of records. The bill of quantities is priced, the orders are placed, the site is measured, the certificates are issued. The difficulty is that each of those lives somewhere different, and nothing reconciles them to each other.
So the questions management asks most often are the ones that take longest to answer.
None of these are difficult questions. They are only difficult to answer when the answer has to be rebuilt by hand, from several places, every time somebody asks.
OraOS Construction holds the records a contractor already keeps, and derives everything else from them. No view in the product types in a total. Change one bill item and the budget, the forecast, the certificate, the cash flow and the margin all move together, because they are all reading the same arithmetic.
This is the difference between an operating system and generic project management software. A task list can tell you a job is late. It cannot tell you what being late has done to the margin.
Leadership opens one screen and sees every live project on the same basis. Every figure on it is derived from the records underneath, so narrowing from the whole portfolio to one project does not change the method, only the scope.

Opening a project gives its Command Centre. Commercial position, cost, programme, cash, operations, risk and profitability on one screen, each block a reading of the module that holds the record rather than a summary somebody maintains separately.
Grouped the way a construction business is actually organised, so people find the module that matches the work they are responsible for rather than the one that matches a software category.
A rules engine reads the connected records and states what it finds, with the figure it found and a route to go and look. Every sentence is generated from the data, which is why the wording can never drift away from the position it describes.
Measured progress is 38.7% against a planned 48.2%. At the current rate completion moves from 31 Aug 2027 to 18 Oct 2027, an overrun of 48 days, with 4 critical milestones affected. 55 days of extension of time are claimed and undetermined.
Read from: baseline, site progress, certificatesOn the current receipt expectation the account reaches minus UGX 1.7B in November 2026. Group funding of UGX 1.7B would be required unless collection improves.
Read from: certificates, payment terms, cost outflows4 variations with the Engineer, the oldest for 143 days. UGX 1.3B of cost against them is already in the forecast.
Read from: variations, forecast costUGX 2.7B certified on 11 Jun 2026. The contract allows 28 days, so this is 40 days beyond the period. National Roads Development Agency is the paying party.
Read from: certificates, contract termsUGX 1.9B of profit has moved, leaving UGX 6.4B on a revised contract of UGX 51.7B. The movement is driven mainly by high yield reinforcement bars and aluminium curtain walling and glazing.
Read from: BOQ, commitments, actual cost58,600 bags issued against an allowance of 54,569 for the 93.1% of concrete works completed. The difference is worth UGX 139M.
Read from: material issues, measured progressThis is management intelligence rather than a chat window. The findings above are produced by the product from its own records, and are the same findings the demonstration will show you when you open it.
Building, civil, EPC and infrastructure contractors, and construction companies running more than one project at a time. Everyone below is working from the same underlying data, which is the point.
These are not five products. They are five readings of one set of records. When the quantity surveyor certifies a variation, the managing director's margin moves, the finance team's receivable appears and the project manager's forecast cost changes, without anyone re-entering anything.
The demonstration opens on Kirabo Construction Limited, a construction company with five projects and a full year of records behind them. Nothing to fill in, nothing to sign up for.
OraOS Construction is in early access. We are still validating implementation requirements with the first contractors, so terms are agreed per organisation rather than published as a price list.
Commercial terms depend on the size of the organisation, the number of projects and what deployment requires. We would rather agree that with you than publish a number that turns out to be wrong for your business.
Start with practical tools for individual project decisions. They run in the browser, they are free, and they answer one question at a time rather than asking you to adopt anything.
The Project Margin Calculator is live today. The other two are in build.
Take contract value, approved and unapproved variations, cost to date, commitments and cost to complete, and see the margin the project is heading for rather than the one it was priced at.
Lay certificates, retention and payment terms against the cost of doing the work, and see which months the project funds itself and which it does not.
Work out what a variation adds to value, to cost and to programme, and what it leaves of the project's margin.
Commercial data is the most sensitive information a contractor holds. We would rather be exact about where this product currently stands than claim a posture it has not earned.
To be explicit. OraOS Construction holds no ISO certification, no SOC 2 attestation and no comparable third party audit, and we do not claim any. The right side of this table describes architecture intended for production deployment, not capability shipped today. If a formal security review is part of your evaluation, ask us and we will tell you exactly where things stand.
An operating system for contractors and construction companies. It connects BOQs and budgets, procurement, materials, site progress, labour, plant, subcontractors, variations, payment certificates, receivables, cash flow, programme, risk and profitability into one environment, so operational and commercial control sit on the same records.
No. Project management software organises tasks and schedules. It can tell you a job is late. It cannot tell you what being late has done to the margin, because it does not hold the bill of quantities, the commitments, the certificates or the cost.
OraOS Construction is built the other way round. The commercial and cost records are the centre of the product, and the programme is one of the things read against them.
Building, civil, EPC and infrastructure contractors, and construction companies managing more than one live project. Inside those businesses it is built for managing directors, project directors, commercial managers and quantity surveyors, project managers and finance leaders. The first geographic lens is Africa and other emerging markets, where the commercial pressures it addresses are sharpest, but nothing in the product is specific to one region.
Yes, and we would prefer you did. The live demonstration opens straight into a fully populated construction company. No account, no email address and no call first. Anyone evaluating a system of this size should be able to see it before being asked who they are.
No. The demonstration company, its projects, clients, staff, subcontractors and every figure shown are fictional. They are modelled on the records a real contractor keeps so the product can be judged properly, but no real company's information appears anywhere in it.
Yes. That is the point of it. There is a single project scope control in the top bar that every module obeys, so you work across the whole portfolio and then narrow to one project without navigating twice, and the method behind every figure stays the same at both levels.
No, and it is not trying to. Your accounting system remains the statutory book of record for the ledger, tax and statutory reporting. OraOS Construction is the operational and commercial layer above it: what a project is costing, what it has earned, what has been committed, what is owed and what margin it will finish on. Those are questions a general ledger is not structured to answer by project.
That is the intended direction, and it is an early access conversation rather than a shipped capability today. The record shapes in the product are deliberately the shapes a finance system holds, so payments, invoices and cost postings can be reconciled against it. Where a specific integration matters to your evaluation, raise it when you get in touch and we will tell you plainly what exists and what would need building.
It is an advanced product demonstration in early access. The complete product experience is built and open for anyone to explore. It is not yet deployed in production across a customer base, and we will not describe it as though it is. Pilot enquiries are open now, and a pilot is how the first live deployments will happen.
There is no published price list yet, and we would rather say that than invent one. Commercial terms depend on the size of the organisation, the number of projects and what deployment requires. During early access those terms are agreed directly, and the contractors who come in at this stage shape what the product becomes.
Free single purpose calculators on tools.oraos.io, for one project decision at a time: project margin, construction cash flow and the impact of a variation. The three construction tools are in build. Coffee tools on the same platform are live today.
Ora Tools are self service utilities. You bring the numbers, you get an answer to one question, you close the tab. Nothing is stored and nothing is connected.
OraOS Construction is the operating system for running the work. It holds the records continuously, so the margin is tracked as the job moves rather than checked once when somebody asks. A tool answers a question. The operating system means the question stops needing to be asked.
The demonstration is complete, populated and asks for nothing. Fifteen minutes in it will tell you more than any deck we could send you.
