Solver for Construction Finance
Planning, Reporting, and Consolidation Built Around the Realities of Irish Construction
Construction finance teams are under pressure. You’re juggling rising costs, unpredictable pipelines, complex entity structures, and tight reporting deadlines. What often slows everything down isn’t the work itself but the systems holding it together. Solver gives construction groups a way to streamline reporting, consolidate entities properly, and plan with confidence using a cloud-based platform built around real financial workflows.
Why Construction Finance in Ireland Needs a Different Approach
A lot of global messaging talks about “industry transformation”, but the Irish market lives with more practical pressures. Projects span multiple entities. Labour shortages hit every budget. Material volatility destabilises forecasts. Pipelines shift based on planning decisions and government timelines. And in most teams, reporting still involves spreadsheets that have been patched together over years.
Solver meets these challenges head-on by bringing structure, consistency, and control to the entire reporting and planning cycle without forcing finance teams to abandon their Excel-rooted way of working.
The pressure points we hear most from Irish construction teams...
Rising Material and Labour Costs
Budgets look fine on paper until pricing changes turn a profitable project into a risky one. Without a way to model scenarios and adjust forecasts quickly, finance teams end up reacting instead of preparing.
Resource Shortages and Workforce Planning
Labour constraints affect timelines, margins, and client expectations. Solver helps build visibility into resourcing, productivity, and workforce cost so the team can plan ahead instead of firefighting.
Fragmented Systems With No Single Source of Truth
Most construction businesses operate across several tools: ERP, payroll, project costing, timesheets, subcontractor systems. Pulling everything together manually slows reporting and introduces risk.
Complex Multi-Entity Structures
Development arms, SPVs, joint ventures, and holding companies create consolidation challenges that spreadsheets simply can’t support at scale. Solver automates this so month-end doesn’t hinge on manual fixes.
Where Solver Fits And Why It Works for Construction
Finance-Led, Not Tech-Led
Solver Ireland is built by finance professionals who understand what month-end pressure feels like. Implementations are shaped around how your team actually works and not how the software prefers you to work.
Built Around You, Not Off-the-Shelf
Construction businesses rarely fit neat templates. Every Solver build reflects your reporting needs, your entity structure, and your project processes. This isn’t plug-and-play. It’s built around the reality of the business.
Excel-Familiar, Enterprise-Ready
Solver feels familiar from day one. It wraps enterprise-grade capability in workflows your team recognises, so there’s no steep learning curve or dependency on IT.
Local Partnership With Global Capability
Solver Ireland partners closely with your team, with support that doesn’t disappear after go-live. You get the advantage of a global CPM platform with delivery from people who understand the Irish market.
Reliable, Ongoing Support
Your industry doesn’t slow down, and neither do we. Most of our long-term client relationships exist because we stay involved and build solutions that grow with the team.
What Solver Helps Construction Teams To Do
1. Understand Project Profitability in Real Time
Solver integrates project costing, timesheets, ERP data, and payroll so you can see profitability across projects and entities without the usual spreadsheet workarounds.
2. Budget and Forecast With Accuracy
Create detailed project budgets based on real historical data, adjust for material volatility, model different resource plans, and test scenarios before committing.
3. Consolidate Entities Without the Stress
SPVs, development companies, holding groups, and joint ventures. Solver handles eliminations, journals, and consolidation logic behind the scenes to cut days off the reporting cycle.
4. See the Full Picture Across the Business
Leadership gets a clear view of cash flow, project performance, risk exposure, and workforce costs in one place, instead of relying on spreadsheets that change depending on who updated them last.
Solver Marketplace includes templates for project budgeting, labour planning, cash flow modelling, and multi-entity consolidations. These can be used immediately or customised during implementation so they match your processes.
