NAMACOR Overview

Less paperwork. More profitable jobs.

NamaCor connects the quote, the job site, billing and Xero for Québec general contractors. Here is what changes, shown with a demo company: Constructions Pierre-Lune, 6 workers, 9 projects.

In English and French Synced with Xero Office, site and client

The interface is shown in English; the demo company's own content (project names, quotes, logs) stays in French, as it would for a Québec contractor.

A quote whose margin you know

Sections, catalog, templates and a cost calculator: each line shows its cost and each section its margin, before you send. The client only sees what you choose to show.

Quote editor
The Beaulieu kitchen: $49,094 before taxes, margin visible per section.
Cost calculator
The calculator: a $14,800 lot of cabinets becomes $672.73 per linear foot.

Crews in the right place

The week's planning, by worker or by project, flags conflicts and absences. Each worker sees their schedule on their phone.

Stay in control

Supplier bills read themselves

Forward a bill to your receiving address: NamaCor reads the supplier, amounts and taxes, suggests the project and cost code, and sends it to Xero with its receipt.

Work with the client

Extras approved before they are built

Change orders with supporting documents, finish selections against an allowance: the client decides online and the difference is added to the contract.

Change order
Rotten joists found during demolition: the change order, with the engineer's note.
Selections
The quartz countertop: three options and each one's difference with the allowance.

Get paid

Bill on time, forget nothing

Invoices from the quote's payment schedule, by percentage or time and materials; disbursements rebilled with their receipts; payment status read back from Xero.

Invoices
Receivable, overdue, to send: all invoice follow-up on one page.

Stay in control

The real margin of every project

Revised contract, costs, hours, commitments and collections in a single view, with the projected margin and what deserves your attention. Xero Projects doesn't combine all that; NamaCor does.

Project finances
The Lapointe basement: 44% margin to date, collections read from Xero, and a gap flagged before it gets expensive.
Costs and Xero
Every cost, with its receipt, sent to Xero to the right account and project.
