Background
The two problems that run together in every building contractor’s office
Building contractors give site supervisors authority to spend on day-to-day site requirements. Petty materials, consumables, fuel, and small items that keep the site moving between formal purchase orders flow through supervisors as cash advances against verbal authorizations. The value of this flexibility is real. The cost of having no visibility into how that flexibility is being used accumulates in ways that only become visible at month-end reconciliation.
Site progress runs on a parallel channel. Updates from multiple active projects arrive through phone calls and WhatsApp messages at different times, in different formats, and with no structured way to compare one site’s position against another or against the planned schedule. The project manager who wants to know the current state of four active Delhi building sites has to make four calls and assemble four inconsistent answers into one picture that is already outdated by the time it is ready.
For Amardeep Saluja and the Saluja Contracts team, these two problems operated simultaneously across every active project. Petty expenses were leaving through supervisors with no real-time record of how much, for what, or at which site. Progress was arriving through calls in formats that could not be compared or tracked against milestones. With over 24 years of building construction experience across Delhi NCR, the company had the operational expertise to build well. What it lacked was the visibility to manage costs and progress in real time during execution, not after.
Challenge
Site expenses leaving invisibly. Progress arriving inconsistently. No real-time picture of either.
Problem 01 · Supervisor Petty Expenses Were Invisible Until Month End
Cash paid to supervisors disappeared into sites with no real-time record of how it was spent
Supervisors at active Saluja Contracts building sites handled day-to-day spending through cash advances with no connected system recording what was spent, on what, at which site, and by which supervisor. The expense position across all active sites was unknown until monthly reconciliation. By that point, the money had already been committed and overspending had accumulated over weeks before Amardeep Saluja could see it. There was no mechanism to identify when a supervisor’s spending at a specific site was running above what the current progress justified.
Expenses discovered after already spent
Problem 02 · No Structured View Into What Each Supervisor Had Received
Knowing how much was paid to which supervisor required calling each one individually
With multiple supervisors across multiple active Delhi building sites, there was no dashboard showing how much had been advanced to each supervisor and how they were spending it at their site. Getting this picture required calling each supervisor for a verbal account of their spending. The picture assembled from those calls was based on what supervisors recalled and reported rather than on verified recorded entries, and it was outdated by the time the last call was made.
Verbal accounts instead of verified records
Problem 03 · Site Progress Had No Structured Reporting Channel
Progress from different sites arrived through calls in formats that could not be compared
Progress updates from active building projects in Delhi NCR arrived through phone calls and WhatsApp messages at different times from different sites in formats that differed from each other and could not be tracked against a planned schedule. Seeing the current progress position across all active projects required a round of individual calls producing inconsistent answers. No structured record existed of what each site had completed or how it compared to what was planned for that stage of the project.
Inconsistent updates with no structured record
Problem 04 · Expenses and Progress Were Disconnected From Each Other
No way to see whether spending at a site matched the progress being made
Even if a snapshot of expenses and a snapshot of progress could each be assembled from their respective scattered sources, they arrived at different times, in different formats, and with no shared reference that would allow the two pictures to be compared. Amardeep Saluja had no mechanism to see whether the money a supervisor was spending at a specific site matched what that site was actually achieving. The connection between site spending and site progress that makes construction cost management meaningful did not exist.
Spending and progress never compared

| No dashboard showing how much each supervisor received and spent | Complete visibility into every supervisor’s expense position per site from one dashboard |
| Site progress arriving through calls in inconsistent formats with no structured record | Daily progress recorded against specific activities through mobile app. Structured and dated |
| Expenses and progress disconnected with no way to compare spending against achievement | Petty expenses and site progress visible together from one screen for connected oversight |

Month-end surprises from supervisor petty expenses
Every petty expense is recorded by the responsible supervisor at the time of spending. No invisible accumulation between monthly reconciliations. Amardeep Saluja sees the current expense position per supervisor per site at any point during execution.

Screen for supervisor expenses and site progress together
Petty expense visibility and site progress tracking are available from one Onsite dashboard simultaneously. Amardeep Saluja sees what each supervisor is spending and what each site is achieving from one connected view without calling anyone.
Real-time
Expense control during execution, not after the money has already moved
Before Onsite, petty site expenses paid to supervisors were invisible until monthly reconciliation. The money had already been committed and spent by the time the management team could see how much had gone out, to whom, and at which site. Any overspending was discovered after the fact, with no opportunity to adjust during the phase where costs accumulated. After Onsite, every petty expense is recorded in real time as the supervisor spends it. When spending at a specific site runs above what current progress justifies, the gap is visible immediately while procurement decisions and authorization levels can still be adjusted. Expense control became a live management capability rather than a retrospective review.

FAQs
Common questions about this case study
What does Saluja Contracts Pvt. Ltd. do?
Saluja Contracts Pvt. Ltd. is a Delhi-based building construction company with over 24 years of experience delivering residential homes, commercial buildings, schools, colleges, and factory construction across Delhi NCR. Operating from Vasant Vihar, the company specializes in custom home design, premium residential construction, commercial construction, rainwater harvesting, and building health check-ups. Saluja Contracts has worked with institutions including Delhi Public School Faridabad and is known for quality craftsmanship, transparent client communication, and timely project delivery across the Delhi NCR region.
What challenge did Saluja Contracts face before using Onsite?
Saluja Contracts had no real-time visibility into petty site expenses paid to supervisors across active Delhi building projects. Supervisors handled day-to-day site spending through cash advances with no connected system recording what was spent, on what, and at which site until month-end reconciliation. Site progress across all active projects arrived through phone calls and WhatsApp messages at different times in inconsistent formats that could not be compared or tracked from one view. Both challenges left Amardeep Saluja managing expenses and progress reactively rather than during live execution when decisions could still make a difference.
How does Onsite give visibility into supervisor petty expenses?
Every petty expense at a Saluja Contracts site is recorded in Onsite by the supervisor at the time of spending, capturing the amount, the purpose, the site it belongs to, and the supervisor responsible. Amardeep Saluja sees the current expense position per supervisor per site from the dashboard at any point without calling anyone for a verbal account. Petty expenses that previously accumulated invisibly between monthly reconciliations are now visible in real time, giving management the ability to identify overspending during execution while corrective action is still available rather than after the money has already been committed.
How does Onsite track site progress for building projects in Delhi?
Site engineers and supervisors at Saluja Contracts active building projects update daily progress through the Onsite mobile app against specific project activities. Each entry is structured, dated, and linked to the specific project and activity it belongs to. Amardeep Saluja sees the current completion status of every active building project from one dashboard rather than calling individual supervisors for updates that arrive in formats that cannot be meaningfully compared. Structured progress records from all active sites are available from one screen at any point during the working day without any manual compilation required.
Is Onsite suitable for building contractors managing petty site expenses in Delhi?
Yes. Onsite works specifically well for building contractors in Delhi managing multiple active construction sites where supervisor-level petty expense control and real-time site progress visibility are the primary operational requirements. The mobile-first design means supervisors record expenses and progress from active sites with every entry updating the management dashboard immediately. Contractors who previously discovered site expense overruns at month-end reconciliation report that Onsite’s real-time petty expense visibility allows them to identify and address overspending during execution, significantly improving expense control across all active building projects.
Know Exactly What Your Supervisors Are Spending and Where Your Site Stands
