Pre-construction estimating
Explained hereCost estimation, bill of quantities (DQE), unit price schedules (BPU), tender bidding, and price mercuriale to produce competitive and profitable proposals.
GestraPro captures what actually happens on the job site (materials, machines, crews, expenses) and turns that ground truth into real-time cost and margin intelligence for contractors, owners, and lenders.
The core mechanic
The site supervisor or storekeeper records the event on mobile (100% offline). This single record automatically feeds the daily log, inventory, payroll, direct job cost, and head-office alerts without duplicate entry.
Chain of trust
The event is logged with its site, timestamp, and operational context.
Geotagged photos, weigh tickets, and signed manifests remain immutably attached.
Project manager or leadership reviews variances and steers margin.

The Unified Ecosystem
GestraPro’s strategic difference: connecting job sites, executive management, and financiers around the exact same immutable ledger.
Site supervisors and storekeepers on smartphones. 5-min daily capture: weather, attendance, materials, machine hours, and geotagged photos.
Project engineers and executive leadership on desktop. Direct job costing, 3-way matching, variance alerts, and SYSCOHADA accounting entries.
Project owners, lending banks, and diaspora investors. Verified transparency portal: timestamped photos, physical milestones, and loan drawdown audit.
Progressive adoption
A construction firm starts with the daily log, photos, and simple site costs; it activates inventory, heavy equipment, payroll, or SYSCOHADA accounting whenever ready, without reinstalling or starting over.
The thirteen domains
Cost estimation, bill of quantities (DQE), unit price schedules (BPU), tender bidding, and price mercuriale to produce competitive and profitable proposals.
Work breakdown packages, tasks, line-item budgets, rainy-season planning, and strict contract change order management.
The beating heart: 5-minute daily capture, weather & rain tracking, crew attendance, material usage, equipment hours, and geotagged photos 100% offline.

Product roadmap
The overview describes the complete vision. This roadmap transparently distinguishes what is live in production from what is rolling out.
Materials with controlled canonical units, equipment fleet with hourly depreciation, document repository, and per-site cost foundation.
Crew management and piecework, 100% offline-first daily log, material over-consumption alerts, and sealed RLS multi-tenancy.
Automated 3-way matching, client progress billing, public procurement workflow, and SYSCOHADA (AUDCIF) accounting exports.
Project owner & diaspora portal, bank draw verification module, live video site tours, and regional expansion.
Our commitments
Data belongs to the firm that logs it. It can be exported at any time in formats your accountant can use.
Without permission, no one sees anything. The firm decides what it shares, job by job, and can revoke access at any time.
Where captured, photos, location context, date and time can remain connected to the event or figure they support.
If the site manager cannot use it, the tool is at fault, not the person.
Support happens in French, on WhatsApp, with people who know West African construction.
No drones, no 3D models and no AI demos: first the fundamentals that protect margin and build trust.
Move from theory to practice
The 60-day pilot deploys the complete product on two real construction sites with no financial commitment to uncover your first operational leak.
