Frequently asked questions
The best cost management software for Australian and New Zealand builders is one that improves financial accuracy, forecasting, and process efficiency across construction projects.
Platforms like Lentune are built specifically for builders and subcontractors who need to:
- Track committed costs and purchase orders
- Manage variations and subcontractor claims
- Forecast cashflow and project profitability
- Reduce manual spreadsheets and duplicate data entry
Unlike generic project management tools, Lentune focuses on construction financial workflows, helping builders gain real-time visibility over project costs and eliminate cost creep.
For builders in Australia and New Zealand, the best solution will:
- Integrate with accounting systems like Xero
- Support local construction workflows
- Improve forecast accuracy and cost tracking
- Reduce manual processes between site teams and finance
This allows builders to move from reactive cost tracking to proactive financial control, improving margins and project predictability.
Lentune is designed for commercial builders and large-project subcontractors in Australia and New Zealand managing projects with complex financial workflows.
It’s typically used by construction companies turning over $5M–$100M+ who need better control over cost codes, subcontractor claims, variations, retentions, and project forecasting.
Lentune works best for teams running budget-driven projects where financial accuracy and visibility are critical to maintaining margins.
For companies using other construction platforms, Lentune also integrates with systems like Procore, Simpro, CostCon and Jobpac to eliminate supplier invoice data entry and streamline approval workflows.
Lentune helps builders manage construction variations and retentions by tracking them automatically within their project financial workflows.
Builders can record variations at both the head contract and subcontractor level, linking them to specific cost codes or work orders so changes are reflected immediately in project budgets and forecasts.
Lentune also automatically calculates subcontractor retentions and carries them through into claims, giving builders clear visibility of what has been held, released, and still owing. This removes the need for manual spreadsheets and ensures variations and retentions are always accurately reflected in project costs.
Lentune is designed to be easy for builders to learn and use, even for teams moving from paper or spreadsheets.
The platform simplifies financial workflows like purchase orders, subcontractor claims, variations and approvals, so project managers and finance teams can adopt it quickly without complex training.
Lentune also provides live onboarding sessions with real people and ongoing support, helping construction teams get up to speed fast and confidently manage project costs from day one.
Lentune implementation typically takes up to eight weeks, with many construction companies going live sooner.
The process starts with a discovery session to understand your projects, cost structures, and financial workflows. From there, the Lentune team works closely with you to configure your site, align approval processes, and train your team.
Most builders begin using Lentune for real project work between weeks five and eight, with hands-on support throughout the process to ensure a smooth and confident rollout.
Builders improve cost accuracy by tracking committed costs, subcontractor claims, and variations in real time instead of relying on delayed spreadsheet updates.
Construction financial platforms like Lentune provide live visibility into project costs, helping builders forecast final project outcomes earlier and identify cost issues before they impact margins.

Brilliant experience from the whole Lentune team throughout early engagement and then to on-boarding & implementation, very smooth and painless process. Excellent software, very intuitive and easy to use and ticked all the boxes for the AP and project cost control requirements we had.
We have recently joined the Lentune family and it has been such an easy transition and the automation makes life so much easier. Mark has been fabulous to work with while training with weekly catchups and regular emails, nothing was too much trouble for him. Looking forward to working with Lentune now and into the future.
They say time is money - and the amount of time we've saved deploying Lentune has been immeasurable. Our workflow from the past 5 years was re-written within two months of Lentune's introduction. Thank you to Mark and his team for their patient and thoughtful tutorials. The only wish I have is that we had this sooner!
We've been using Lentune for a couple of months now to manage our purchase receipting in Simpro and Xero, and it's made a huge difference. It's sped up our workflow so much that I even checked to see if any invoices had gone missing! Mark's been fantastic with the induction and support — highly recommend.
Lentune is a great piece of software, very user friendly and the setup/support from Ella was amazing. We definitely recommend Lentune. It has made an excellent addition to our accounts payable process. Thank you Ella and team.
Lentune makes managing invoices so much easier! It's simple to use, saves heaps of time, and keeps everything organised. The support team is great too — always quick to help when needed.

We use Simpro and Lentune has been fantastic for our accounts payable management. It has been great to interpret, read, receipt in Simpro and allocate an invoice in Xero & Simpro and has been a great time saver for us. Mark the implementation specialist was fantastic to work with!
