RA bill software for civil contractors

Site engineers record measurements on the phone. Tatha Vastu turns them into the full RA bill, with recoveries and the GST invoice, every quantity linked to its BOQ item.

Every work order and its RA bill in one window

Pick a work order on the left. The abstract on the right is built from approved measurements, with up-to-date, previous and this-bill columns, ready to send. See the RA bill generator

One measurement, carried to the certified bill. Recorded once at site, never retyped.

The measurement book works offline

L, B, D and nos against the BOQ item, with deductions, photos and the place. It syncs when the site has network.

Why bills come back

Most quantity cuts are evidence cuts. When the client’s engineer can open any line of the bill and see the measurement, the sketch, the date and the photo behind it, there is nothing left to cut pending verification.

Your client certifies the bill line by line

Share a bill room link. The Executive Engineer or PMC opens any line, sees its measurement and photo, then certifies it, certifies part or holds it with a reason.

  • Free for the client’s engineer and the PMC
  • Every cut logged with who made it and why
  • Claimed against certified, per bill and to date

Questions

What contractors ask before they move their first work order.

Contact the billing team

Can Tatha Vastu make my client's bill format?

Yes. CPWD and state PWD formats are built in. For a railway, NHAI or developer format, send us one past bill and we build it during onboarding.

Does the site app work without network?

Yes. Measurements, photos and sketches save on the phone and sync when the site gets network. Nothing is lost if the phone dies before syncing.

What happens when a BOQ item is split mid-contract?

Split it in the BOQ and map each part to the original item. Cumulative quantities carry across, so the next bill's previous column stays right.

Does the client's engineer pay to check bills?

No. The bill room is free for the client's engineer and PMC. They log in with their email and see only the bills you share.

Where does Tatha Vastu keep our data?

On servers in India. Approved measurements are locked, and every change after approval is a new version with its reason and the user's name.
