Cash crises rarely
arrive from nowhere.
They build when a job ate margin and nobody noticed, when applications and costs drift apart, when a retention nobody chased becomes the £42k you actually needed in May. Unibuild ties site reality to financial reality so you see pressure while you can still act, not when the bank calls.
Eight leaks.
Most of them quiet
until they aren't.
Construction cash is timing plus truth. Both suffer when the numbers lag the site. Each leak below is a specific moment we have seen on every firm we've onboarded.
Visibility is not a forecast.
It is operational fact,
tied to money.
Verified hours on cost
QR clock-in posts to project labour cost by code, not a paper timesheet rounded the wrong way. Margin moves the same minute.
ModuleWorkforceVariations & programme
Scope changes recorded where the team works. Quote, sign-off, P&L move together. Nothing slips between "do it" and "bill it".
ModuleProjectRetentions, watched
Auto-applied at the contract percentage on every AfP. Release dates on the calendar, chase email pre-drafted. Most firms recover an unbudgeted five-figure retention in year one.
ModuleFinancialCVR & WIP, live
Cost-value reconciliation moves with every variation, every cost line, every hour. Forecast final account on the dashboard, not in a spreadsheet on the 28th.

Pulls from quotes out, AfPs queued, retentions due, supplier payments scheduled. The number the FD looks at on Monday morning.
