Six blocks that talk to each other.
The item you write once in the estimate is the same one you measure in the valuation and the same one that goes on the invoice. That is why Struqia saves time where other tools spend it: nothing is copied from one place to another.
From the client enquiry to the margin in Capataz — your foreman view — the real app, with no edits. Captions in Portuguese — English cut coming soon.
The AI reads the floor plan and measures on its own.
You upload the dimensioned floor plan as a PDF, or the bill of quantities as an Excel file. Struqia recognises the rooms, reads the dimensions and returns floor, ceiling, wall and skirting areas — with openings counted and deducted according to the measurement rules.
Every quantity stays linked to its source: you can open the line, see which room it came from and correct it by hand in two seconds. The AI proposes, you decide — nothing enters the estimate without your confirmation.
The items then match against your own price library: your output rates, your labour costs, your suppliers. The proposal goes out as a branded PDF the same day the client asked, not the following week.
The month’s valuation instead of the month’s late night.
The valuation starts from the awarded estimate, with every item already in place. You mark what was executed in the period — as a percentage or as a quantity — and Struqia keeps the running total itself, with no adding up of earlier valuations in a separate spreadsheet.
Variations go into the same schedule, identified and approved separately, so they are not lost between what was contracted and what turned up on site. That is the money most often left uninvoiced — not here.
At the end the valuation goes out as a PDF for the client, with the full schedule, the cumulative total and the value for the period. And the lines are ready for the invoice, without typing a single figure again.
The site reports back without anyone writing an email.
The site manager opens the app on his phone and sees only what matters to him: today’s tasks on that site, what was left over from yesterday and what has to be finished tomorrow. He ticks off what is done with one tap, no forms.
He takes photos of what is done and what is wrong, and logs materials received or used. It all lands on the right project, time-stamped, and shows up on your panel without you asking anyone.
And there is one thing the site manager app never shows: prices. Not costs, not margins, not the contract value. Site business stays on site; money stays in the office.
Whatever threatens the deadline rises to the top.
Contract deadlines, inspections, material deliveries, insurance and licence expiry dates, valuation and invoice dates: it all goes into a single diary, tied to the project it belongs to. No more deadlines that live only in somebody’s head — and that is how a contract deadline gets met.
Alerts arrive early, not on the day itself — with the notice period you set for each type of event. And they arrive on the phone, because whoever runs a construction company is not sitting at a desk when a deadline bites.
Whatever threatens the project deadline rises to the top on its own and is flagged red; anything due this week is flagged orange. Struqia opens with the order of priorities already set.
The valuation prepares the invoice. The margin appears.
Once the valuation is closed, the invoice lines come out ready — with the VAT regime and rate (23 %, 6 % or reverse charge) and the retention handled the way Portuguese law requires — for your certified invoicing software (TOConline, Moloni, InvoiceXpress or Vendus). Struqia doesn’t issue invoices: it prepares them, tells you when there is a valuation to invoice or an invoice to chase, and shows what is still owed to you.
On the other side the costs come in: supplier invoices, subcontractors, labour and consumables, each posted against the project it belongs to. The real margin on a project stops being a year-end estimate and becomes a figure you have today.
And what is still owed stays in plain sight: how much, from whom, and for how long. That is the difference between knowing a project went well and knowing a project made money.
The document is born already filed.
Estimates, valuations and site reports come out as PDFs with your logo, your details and your way of presenting things — not looking like some generic export.
And they don’t sit waiting in the downloads folder: they land straight into the project’s folder structure, with the right name and the date in the right place. The client folder ends up exactly as you would have built it by hand, without you building it by hand.
When the client or the accountant asks for the history, it is all there, in the same order, project by project. There is no version stuck in somebody’s inbox.
