Construction and works contracts

Accounting for builders and contractors in Kerala

In construction the money is made or lost project by project, and bills, retentions and subcontractor payments run for months. Zelcount keeps project-wise books so you can see where each job stands.

What we take care of

Costing by project
Materials, labour, subcontractors and overheads are recorded against each site, so you can compare actual cost with the estimate while the work is still on.
TDS in both directions
We compute TDS on what you pay subcontractors and professionals, and reconcile the TDS your clients deduct from you so you get full credit.
GST on works contracts
Running bills, advances and retention money are treated correctly for GST, and input tax credit on materials is matched with supplier filings.
