Carbon Accounting Software for Australian Construction and Infrastructure
For a Tier 1 head contractor running 50 concurrent sites, the arithmetic is easy and the evidence is hard. Concrete delivery dockets that give a strength grade and no carbon figure, steel takeoffs, supply-and-install subcontractor invoices, EPDs in supplier PDFs, fuel cards and electricity bills arrive in different formats from different suppliers across the country. One NGER return is due 31 October. One AASB S2 disclosure is due with the annual report. One IS rating evidence pack is due at project close.
What changes for construction and infrastructure
- Embodied carbon for concrete grades, structural steel, asphalt, and pipe materials with EPD evidence where available
- Subcontractor Scope 3 attribution with documented allocation methodology
- Fuel dockets ingested from fuel cards and emailed supplier statements, every line tied to a site and a vehicle
- Per-project emissions ledger that survives operator handover and informs IS As-Built and Operations submissions
- JV consolidation across head contractor, design and construct partners, and equity holders
- NGER submission, AASB S2 disclosure, and IS rating evidence pack produced from the same source data
What the system does
- Reads concrete and steel delivery slips, contractor invoices, EPDs, fuel dockets and utility bills (PDF or scanned) via the AI document engine
- Tags every reading by project, work package, scope, and IS credit alignment
- Material library mapped to project bill of quantities with NGA factors and EPD data where available
- Period locking and source-document audit trail for ASSA 5010 assurance and IS rating verification
- Multi-site dashboards rolling up to corporate NGER total and AASB S2 group disclosure
- Per-project email ingestion and OneDrive sync so site teams send documents without learning a new system
Frequently asked
How does it handle a concrete docket that only gives a strength grade like "N32"?
The AI document engine reads the docket (PDF, scanned image or email attachment) and extracts quantity, unit, mix description, supplier, date and site. Five-tier material matching then maps the mix to an NGA factor or a matching construction EPD factor from the library. Low-confidence matches, and quantities whose unit cannot be converted to the factor unit, are flagged for a reviewer rather than guessed, and every line stays traced to the source document. Fuel dockets go through the same engine and are the simpler case.
Does it support IS rating evidence packs?
The system produces emissions data extracts at the project, phase, and work-package level that feed an IS Planning, Design, As-Built, or Operations submission. The same data also feeds NGER and AASB S2 disclosure without recomputation.
Can it handle JV allocations on infrastructure projects?
Yes. Equity-share, financial-control, and operational-control consolidation methods all run on the same asset-level ledger. Each JV partner can view their attributed emissions with documented allocation methodology.
