Infrastructure project management for PWD-style contractors

Highways, water, power. Government formats. Private velocity.

Blueprint for infrastructure: PWD-format deliverables, multi-agency coordination, RA bills with retention handling, geotagged progress, and audit trails that satisfy government auditors.

§02 / 03Specification

For contractors working with Indian government bodies

Infrastructure contracts in India come with their own set of non-negotiables: PWD formats, running account bills with retention and advance recovery, multi-agency stakeholder reviews, and an audit trail that can survive scrutiny years after completion.

Blueprint handles all of that as a first-class thing.

RA bills with retention + advance recovery

The RA Bill invoice type captures:

  • Cumulative amount and previous cumulative amount.
  • Advance recovery (deduct against mobilisation advance paid).
  • Retention (held back per contract terms; released on completion).
  • TDS deduction (194C) and GST (CGST+SGST or IGST).

The net payable on each RA bill is computed inline — no parallel spreadsheet.

Multi-agency coordination

Projects typically have owner, consulting engineer, and contractor stakeholders — plus the government body as the paying authority. Blueprint's two-layer RBAC handles this: invite external users into a project with read-only or sign-off permissions, scoped to specific sheets or phases.

Audit log that satisfies auditors

Every state change, every payment, every drawing revision writes to an append-only audit log with user, IP, user-agent, and change diff. Soft deletes only — nothing ever disappears. When the CAG auditor asks, the answer is in the system.

Progress + attendance, geotagged

Site supervisors log attendance and progress from the mobile app with geotagged photos. The PWD-style measurement book is replaced by a digital, auditable record.

Who this is for

  • PWD-class civil contractors.
  • Highway, bridge, and water infrastructure builders.
  • Power transmission and distribution contractors.
  • Railway infrastructure contractors.
§03 / 03Frequently asked

Yes. Every invoice captures supplier + buyer GSTIN, state codes, and auto-splits CGST+SGST (intrastate) vs IGST (interstate). Invoices are numbered sequentially within the financial year (April–March) and include all mandatory GSTR-1 fields. TDS under Section 194C is computed automatically.

RA bills carry cumulative and previous-cumulative amounts, reference the previous RA bill, and maintain a sequential RA number per project. This is a first-class invoice type — not a workaround on top of standard invoices.

Yes. Most teams onboard a pilot project in under an hour and run Blueprint alongside existing tools for a month. Bulk imports for vendors, BOQ items, and historical invoices are available on Studio and Enterprise plans.
