What slips at month-end
Different buildings, the same slips. On every project.
Whatever you build, many trades work at once and report in many groups, and nothing is totalled until month-end. The same four things slip on every project.
Missed in the bill
Small work, posted one photo at a time.
Tiling in a few flats, light fixtures in a zone, pipe supports in an area: done a few at a time, each posted among hundreds of messages.
At month-end some are missed, and they wait for next month's bill.
Checklists and tests
Proof signed on site, lost in a group.
Pour cards, pressure tests and NDT reports are signed on site and photographed into whichever group is nearest.
Where the client wants them with the bill, each one is hunted across groups at bill time, and the lines without one wait.
Contract triggers
Events nobody reads as contractual.
An area not handed over, client material arriving late, the third repair on the same joint.
Each can trigger a clause with a notice window, and by the time anyone checks, it has often closed.
Material cost
Loads from many vendors, challans everywhere.
Cement, steel, glazing and pipes arrive from many vendors, each load with a challan photographed into a store group.
Checking each vendor's bill means finding challans spread across groups.
What Velora picks up
What your site groups already carry, on any building project.
Velora reads text, voice notes and photos in the groups your teams and subcontractors use today, and files each update by the way your site refers to place.
Progress by location
Work done by tower, floor, flat, zone or area, with photos.
Quantities
Concrete, blockwork, finishes, steel and piping in the units your site posts, each marked with how it was arrived at.
Checklists and tests
Pour cards, pressure tests, NDT reports and inspection records, when they are posted.
Hindrances
Areas not handed over, material held, work stopped, with the floor or area each one holds.
Instructions and changes
The engineer's or architect's instructions and changes made on site, logged with date and place.
Deliveries
Materials by vendor, with their challans, including material the client supplies.
Repairs
Leaks, cracks and rework reported on site, so a repeat repair shows up.
Crews and commitments
Crews on site by trade, and who promised what, by when.
Site teams change nothing. Velora joins each group as one more member.
What each team gets
Every team gets its part of the project.
Billing gets the month's quantities in a report, contract triggers reach whoever you choose, project heads see every floor and package today, and leadership sees every project. Nobody has to ask site for an update.
This month's quantities, ready for the bill.
Work done is matched to your BOQ or work scope and totalled for the month. Each total opens into the floors, flats or areas, dates and photos behind it, with the checklists and test records it needs, and missing ones are followed up on WhatsApp once you switch follow-ups on. Velora tracks quantities; your team adds rates and finalises the bill.
See Billing IntelligenceThe contract triggers that are easy to miss.
Not just EOT and LD. An area not handed over or client material arriving late, but also an instruction that changes the work, extra work beyond the scope or a repeat repair: each is logged with its place and the date it was first posted, matched to the clause it may trigger, and whoever you choose is alerted the same day, whether that's site, project controls or your contracts specialist, then reminded before the notice window closes. Your team decides what goes to the client.
See Contract IntelligenceEvery floor and package, every day, without the calls.
Progress by location, the hindrances holding each front, deliveries by vendor and commitments followed up, from the groups your teams and subcontractors already post in. Daily, weekly or monthly reports are drafted from the same record, ready to review and send to your client.

For the MD or project controls head running projects across sectors: the blockers that have waited longest for a decision, by front, and, where Billing is on, which quantities are still waiting on proof.

What we'd need to start a pilot.
A pilot runs on one project and its live site groups. Your site teams don't change how they post.
A spare WhatsApp number
Linked to Velora and added to your site groups as one more member. No personal chats are connected.
Your site groups
The groups where progress, checklists, deliveries and hindrances are posted today, including your subcontractors' groups.
Your scope
The BOQ or work scope, and the project's towers, floors or areas. Loaded once.
A sample chat export lets us test on your own messages before going live.
See it on your own project.
Talk to us about your project and we'll set up a pilot against its live WhatsApp groups and your BOQ or work scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from building project heads and billing engineers.
Residential towers and townships, commercial buildings such as offices, malls, hotels and hospitals, and industrial projects such as plants, factories and warehouses, wherever work is paid on measured quantities against a BOQ or work scope and site teams report on WhatsApp.
No. Each project is set up with the way its site refers to place: tower, floor and flat on a township, floor and zone on a commercial building, area and grid on a plant. Updates are filed against those.
Yes. Scope is loaded from the document that holds it, an item-rate BOQ or a lump-sum billing break-up, and work done is matched to its lines and totalled for the month. Velora tracks quantities; your billing team adds rates and finalises the bill.
Yes. Velora reads text, voice notes and photos in the languages your teams use, including photos of checklists, test reports and challans, and keeps each original message with the record it created.
No. Velora joins the groups your teams already use as one more member and reads what they post today. There is no new app and no form to fill.
We run a discounted pilot for the first three months on one project: the full product, with no long-term commitment.
