Effective project budget management involves detailed tracking of expenditure, accurate cost forecasting, managing contractor payments and maintaining transparency throughout the project lifecycle. Concerto IWMS enables precise control over your budgets by allowing real-time visibility into spend, automated tracking of invoices and payments and clear reporting against planned versus actual costs.
Concerto also simplifies the management of key contract events, such as Architect's Instructions, Compensation Events, Early Warnings, and Variations, particularly for structured contract forms like NEC3. Additionally, Mobiess supports effective snagging by capturing defects or issues directly in the field via mobile devices, ensuring rapid resolution and accurate financial tracking.
Should your organisation require expert support, Bellrock's professional project management and quantity surveying teams offer specialist services, including budget setting, cost control, contract administration and financial oversight, ensuring your projects remain compliant, transparent and financially controlled from start to finish.
Concerto is an all-in-one project management solution that brings cost control, scheduling, risk management, and reporting into a single connected platform, helping project teams deliver on time, on budget, and to scope. Projects can be set up quickly using tailored templates, with defined objectives, stakeholders, site details, and linked assets. Multi-stage approval workflows ensure governance is met from the outset. Budget management tools allow you to set and track CapEx and OpEx budgets, monitor committed versus actual spend, and integrate seamlessly with finance systems such as SAP, Oracle, and Unit4. Automated alerts flag overspend or budget variances before they become an issue.
Concerto's task and milestone management features include interactive Gantt charts, team or contractor assignments, mobile progress updates, and deadline reminders. Document control is built-in, enabling secure storage of contracts, drawings, permits, and manuals with version control and access permissions, keeping your projects fully audit-ready. Risk and issue tracking tools maintain live risk registers with scoring by likelihood and impact, while dashboards provide visibility across individual projects or entire programmes. Contractor oversight is made easier with performance tracking, SLA monitoring, site visit logs, and a secure contractor portal for progress updates.
When it's time for handover, Concerto streamlines the process by capturing final documentation, tagging and linking new assets to the register, reconciling budgets, and recording lessons learned. For organisations managing multiple projects, programme and portfolio views deliver high-level dashboards by region, department, or strategic goal. Fully mobile-ready, Concerto keeps office and field teams in sync with real-time updates, photo uploads, and remote access to progress, risks, and costs, ensuring every project stays on track from concept to completion.
Concerto offers powerful built-in analytics, combining real-time dashboards, visual reports, and forecasting tools to give estates and facilities teams a clear view of everything from daily operations to long-term capital planning. Custom dashboards are role-specific and easy to personalise, displaying live status updates and performance indicators. Users can drill down from a high-level portfolio view to detailed information on individual sites, jobs, or assets.
The platform supports KPI and SLA tracking, giving visibility into key metrics such as the percentage of planned preventative maintenance (PPM) tasks completed on time, average response and fix times, compliance pass rates, and cost per asset, site, or square metre. Visual reporting tools include charts, heatmaps, and trend views, and reports can be exported in Excel, PDF, or CSV formats. These can also be scheduled for automatic delivery to stakeholders or teams, reducing the need for manual reporting.
Concerto includes forecasting tools to help predict future maintenance costs, asset lifecycles, and contractor performance. This allows teams to monitor reliability, plan future staffing requirements, and manage budgets more effectively. Compliance analytics are built in, with live scorecards showing expired or overdue certifications, non-conformance trends, and how quickly corrective actions are being closed out.
Financial teams benefit from detailed insights into CapEx and OpEx, as well as comparisons of budgeted versus actual spend. Concerto can also integrate with ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Unit4 for a seamless financial reporting workflow. Space and occupancy analytics help monitor how buildings, desks, and rooms are used, identify underutilised areas, and support hybrid working and sustainability initiatives.
Real-time alerts can be configured to flag missed SLAs, overdue tasks, or other important triggers. These alerts help keep teams informed and can automatically trigger actions or escalations without the need to manually check reports.
For organisations that use business intelligence platforms, Concerto integrates with tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik. This makes it easy to combine facilities management insights with broader business data for more strategic decision-making.
Concerto's analytics capabilities are used by a wide range of roles. Facilities teams rely on them to stay on top of jobs, assets, and SLAs. Compliance leads use them to manage inspections and risk. Finance teams track spend and forecast costs. Executives make informed, data-driven decisions, and engineers and contractors use the data to prioritise their work based on real need and performance.
By replacing guesswork with reliable insight, Concerto helps teams work smarter, respond faster, and maintain clear audit trails. The result is better decision-making, real-time visibility, easier planning, and improved compliance across your estate.
