Software for public works and buildings

Public works and buildings from reference budget to accountability

For city halls, departments and agencies that budget, contract and inspect public works and look after schools, primary health clinics (UBS) and office buildings. The reference budget (engineer's estimate) uses SINAPI, Brazil's official construction cost database published by Caixa, a BDI (overhead and profit markup) built on the formula of the TCU (Brazil's Federal Court of Accounts), and an AI that finds the right cost composition from a plain description of the work. The inspector checks the service inspection checklist (FVS) and approves the contractor's daily report (RDO), the contract manager closes the measurement with the IMR (performance measurement instrument), and units open tickets by QR code, on the web and in the app.

Who builds H2O

Built by an engineering company, from construction to building maintenance

H2O is developed by ATG Soluções para Engenharia, a consulting and technology company experienced in maintenance planning and control, commissioning, RCM and ISO 55000 methods, working with Maintenance 4.0 since 2018. The system was born inside mission-critical data centers, created by people who spent more than 10 years on those projects across Latin America, and it served as the maintenance management tool in Uptime Institute® Operational Sustainability audits. Today it serves maintenance, engineering and facilities companies and large service buyers. In public works, the same traceability follows every stage, from the reference budget to the measurement report, and carries on after handover, in the upkeep of the school, the clinic and the office building.

  • Reference budget with SINAPI, BDI by the TCU formula, a spreadsheet in bid notice format and a calculation memo down to each input
  • Daily report, FVS and material receiving with photos, date, time and the signature of every approver, up to the owner
  • Monthly measurement with cumulative totals per item, IMR with deductions, numbered addendums and the contract S-curve through payment
  • After handover, tickets, preventive maintenance and documents for each unit in the same system

Our goal is to build, together with our clients, an ecosystem of accurate indicators for highly relevant and predictable decisions.

Who uses it

Who uses H2O at the agency and at the contractor

Budget team

Builds the reference budget with the month's SINAPI, the AI composition search and an itemized BDI, and generates the bid notice spreadsheet and the calculation memo as PDFs.

Construction inspector

Checks the daily report, the FVS and the material received against the NF-e, and approves as the owner on the phone or the web, or sends it back with a comment.

Contract manager

Tracks the contract term, addendums and SLAs, closes the month's measurement report with the IMR and sees planned, executed, invoiced and paid.

Department building maintenance

Assigns the tickets from the units, tracks the SLA in business hours and keeps the preventive plans for each school, clinic and building.

School or clinic management

Opens a ticket from the equipment QR code or the requester portal, follows the work and answers the satisfaction survey.

Internal control

Reviews the change log and the history of each daily report, contract and budget, and exports the data to CSV or Excel.

Contractor

Fills in the daily report, the FVS and the material check in the app, and handles the non-conformances the agency assigns to it.

Before and after

Where public works and maintenance lose their records today

Common situations in public works, education and health departments, and how each one gets recorded in H2O.

TodayThe reference budget comes from a copied spreadsheet, with SINAPI prices from another month or another state.
With H2OEach budget stores the state, the payroll tax regime (with or without payroll tax relief) and a locked reference month, with prices from Caixa's SINAPI imported into the platform. If any of them changes, the prices update all at once.
TodayNobody can find the SINAPI code for the work item, so it gets typed in by hand with no composition.
With H2OThe estimator describes the work in plain language and the AI returns up to 6 compositions from the database, with the price for that state and month and the reason for each pick. The estimator picks one, and the item comes in with the detailed composition, the calculation memo and the materials list.
TodayDuring bid review, the BDI gets challenged and nobody knows where each component came from.
With H2OThe BDI breaks down into central overhead, insurance, risk, bonding, financial costs, profit and taxes, using the formula from TCU Ruling 2622/2013, with the source cited. When the result falls outside the reference range for the type of work, the system flags that the value needs a justification.
TodayThe daily report arrives on loose paper or as a PDF by email, days later.
With H2OThe contractor fills in the report in the app the same day, with activities, photos, headcount and equipment, and the weather comes in from the job site location. The inspector approves as the owner or sends it back with a comment, and the approval is recorded with signature, date and time.
TodayThe measurement report goes around by email and the cumulative total for each item never matches.
With H2OThe month's report opens from the contract, with the SINAPI items, the month's quantity and the calculated cumulative total. The status moves from Draft to Measured, Approved and Invoiced, with a record of who approved it.
TodayDeductions on ongoing service contracts are argued month by month, with no written criteria.
With H2OThe IMR indicators live in the contract, with weight, target and deduction bands. At month-end, the score comes from the units' data, such as preventive work completed and work orders on time, and the approved deduction goes into the billable amount.
TodayA school's repair request comes in by phone or WhatsApp and gets lost.
With H2OThe school opens the ticket from the equipment QR code, in the browser and with up to 5 photos. The department tracks the SLA in business hours, and the satisfaction survey goes out by link after the work is done.
TodayAt accountability time, there is no way to show who did what, when and with what evidence.
With H2OThe log records who created, changed or deleted each record, and when. Photos carry date and GPS, the approvers' signatures stay on the document, and the data exports to CSV or Excel.
The path of a public works project

From reference budget to accountability, in one system

The sequence a public works project follows in H2O. Budget, contract and measurement live on the web, and the job site record lives in the app. Steps 3 to 5 repeat every month until handover.

  1. 1

    Reference budget

    The budget team builds the spreadsheet with SINAPI compositions and inputs for the state and reference month, with or without payroll tax relief, plus custom compositions. To find a composition, the estimator describes the work in plain language and the AI suggests up to 6 codes from the database, with the month's price. The BDI follows the formula from TCU Ruling 2622/2013, and the output includes the bid notice spreadsheet, the calculation memo and the ABC curve.

  2. 2

    Contract and schedule

    Once the public bid is awarded, the contract goes into H2O with its term, model (fixed scope or ongoing service), units served, SLAs, IMR indicators and attachments. The budget is linked to the contract, and the project schedule goes into the Gantt chart with milestones and dependencies.

  3. 3

    Execution with daily reports

    Every day, the contractor records the weather, headcount by company, equipment and activities with photos in the app. The report goes up to the contractor's engineering and management and reaches the agency's inspector at the owner stage.

  4. 4

    Inspection

    The inspector approves the daily report with their registered signature or sends it back with a comment. Each service is checked item by item on the FVS, with photos, and each material delivery comes in through its NF-e (Brazil's electronic invoice), checked for quantity, quality and material. A contractor failure becomes a non-conformance report (RNC) with a deadline.

  5. 5

    Measurement and deductions

    At month-end, the measurement report shows the SINAPI items with contracted, monthly and cumulative quantities, the staffed positions with their CATSER code (Brazil's federal services catalog), and the closing checklist. The IMR gives the month's score and the deduction, and the addendums are numbered in the contract history.

  6. 6

    Payment and accountability

    The approved measurement becomes an invoice in contract execution, with ISS, IR, INSS, PIS and COFINS taxes and the payment records, and the S-curve shows planned, executed, invoiced and paid. The change log, the photos with date and GPS, the signatures and the PDFs are kept for internal control.

The project in daily inspection

From the contractor's daily report to the inspector's approval, on the phone

Four H2O app screens with sample data. What the contractor records on site reaches the inspector with photo, date and time, and the daily report and the FVS work even with no signal.

  1. The day's report, opened on site
    1Record

    The day's report, opened on site

    The contractor opens the day's report with the morning, afternoon and night weather already filled in. They log activities by crew and time, with photos, the direct, indirect and idle headcount, and the equipment. The approval path shows at the top, from execution to the client.

  2. Service FVS, item by item
    2Check

    Service FVS, item by item

    On the masonry FVS for floor 7, each item is marked compliant, partial, non-compliant or not applicable. The non-compliant item keeps the photo with the defect circled and the corrective action, and the FVS can raise an RNC for the contractor when it is finalized.

  3. Material received against the NF-e
    3Verify

    Material received against the NF-e

    When material arrives, the invoice comes in by scanning the barcode on the DANFE (the printed NF-e slip) or entering the 44-digit access key, looked up at SERPRO (Brazil's federal data service). Each item is checked for quantity, quality and material, with a photo, and the invoice moves on to engineering and the client.

  4. The inspector approves the report at the client stage
    4Approve

    The inspector approves the report at the client stage

    The daily report goes through engineering and management and reaches the client stage. The agency's inspector reviews the weather, the day summary and the activities with photos and approves with their registered signature, or sends it back with a comment for the contractor to fix.

AI budgeting

Reference budget with SINAPI, AI to find the composition and BDI per TCU

Import the months of Caixa's SINAPI database available on the platform and build the budget by stages and sub-stages, with compositions and inputs for the state, with or without payroll tax relief, and a locked reference month. For each work item, the estimator can write what they need in plain language, such as "paint 300 m² of interior wall with acrylic paint", and the AI suggests up to 6 SINAPI compositions from the budget's month, state and tax regime. Each suggestion comes with the code checked against the catalog, the unit, the unit price, the reason for the pick and a confidence level, and the estimator picks the one that goes in.

  • AI search inside the budget, with the item added along with its detailed composition, calculation memo and materials list
  • Bid notice format spreadsheet as a PDF, with numbered stages and sub-stages (1, 1.1, 2.1.1), SINAPI code and unit price with and without BDI
  • Header with process number, bid number, agency, location and scope of the work, responsible engineer, CREA registration and ART (record of technical responsibility)
  • BDI broken into components by the formula from TCU Ruling 2622/2013, with the source cited and a range warning by type of work

Daily report (RDO)

Contractor daily report, approved by the inspector as the owner

The contractor fills in the report in the app, and it goes to the contractor's engineering and management and then to the owner. The inspector approves last, with the signature registered in their profile, or rejects it with a comment, and the owner's notes have their own field in the report.

  • Weather at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., with conditions, temperature, humidity and chance of rain, from the job site's registered location
  • Direct and indirect headcount, active and idle, by role and by company
  • Activities and incidents with photos stamped with date, time, address and project name
  • Each approval records the signature, date and time, and a rejection returns the report to the contractor with the reason
  • Owner stage turned on or off per project
  • PDF with weather, headcount, photos, signatures and map, and email delivery of up to 200 reports to up to 30 recipients

FVS and RNC

Every service checked on the FVS, and contractor failures handled in the RNC

The agency builds the FVS template for each service on the web, and the inspection happens in the app, item by item, with photo, markup on the photo, comment and GPS. When the template calls for it, non-compliant items become an RNC when the FVS is finalized and go to the contractor's user, who records the root cause analysis and corrective action for the agency to approve.

  • Compliant/Partial/NC/NA, Yes/No/NA, numeric with minimum and maximum tolerance, text, selection and photo items
  • Required photo on the items you choose
  • AI that builds the FVS template from the service, the setting and the standard, for review before use
  • FVS signed and turned into a PDF right on the phone

Materials and NF-e

Material delivered to the site checked against the NF-e, item by item

At receiving, the NF-e comes in by scanning the DANFE barcode or entering the 44-digit access key, and H2O pulls the invoice from SERPRO with supplier, items and amounts. Each item is checked for quantity, quality and material, with photos, and the invoice goes through receiving, engineering and client, with a signature at every step.

  • Attachments for the invoice, the purchase order and the material certificate
  • Rejection with a comment in the approval flow
  • Receiving report as a PDF with the material inspection form (FVM) number
  • Stock entry with items matched to the catalog, checked by the technician and approved by the engineer

Contracts and measurement

Monthly measurement, IMR with deductions and addendums in the contract history

The contract manager and the inspector see the contract in one place, with its term, model (fixed scope or ongoing service), SLAs, units served, attachments and suppliers. At month-end, the measurement report opens from the contract and closes with the IMR score calculated from operational data.

  • Numbered addendums for value, scope, term or other types, with history
  • Measurement report with staffed positions (CATSER code) and a discount for uncovered positions, SINAPI items with monthly and cumulative quantities, and a closing checklist, in PDF and Excel
  • Draft, Measured, Approved and Invoiced statuses, with a record of who approved
  • IMR with indicators, weights, targets and deduction bands, or the ready-made model with 7 indicators and 4 bands
  • Monthly score from data such as preventive work completed, work orders on time, satisfaction and repeat failures, with the approved deduction applied to the billable amount

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask before starting

Is H2O for the agency that contracts and inspects, or for the contractor?

It works for both sides. The agency builds the reference budget, reviews and approves the daily report as the owner, checks the measurement and calculates the IMR. The contractor uses the same system to fill in the daily report, the FVS and the material check and to respond to non-conformances, and each side works with its own access profile.

How does the AI help build the reference budget?

Inside the budget, the estimator describes the work in plain language, such as "paint 300 m² of interior wall with acrylic paint". The AI searches the SINAPI database for the budget's reference month, state and tax regime and returns up to 6 candidate compositions. Each one comes with the code checked against the SINAPI catalog, the description, the unit, the unit price, the reason for the pick and a confidence level. The estimator picks the composition, enters the design quantity and adds the item, which comes in with the detailed composition, the calculation memo and the materials list.

Where does the SINAPI data come from, and how is the budget's base date handled?

ATG loads the official SINAPI files published by Caixa onto the platform, and the agency imports the month it needs with one click: inputs, compositions and the detailed composition with coefficients, for all 27 states. Each budget stores the state, the payroll tax regime (with or without relief) and a locked reference month, and prices can be updated to another month all at once. Agencies that already have an OrçaFascio license can connect their own account and send the budget there.

How is the BDI calculated?

With the formula from TCU Ruling 2622/2013, using the components for central overhead, insurance, risk, bonding, financial costs and profit, plus the PIS, COFINS, ISS and CPRB taxes. The result shows up instantly, with the source cited. The system warns when the BDI falls outside the reference range for the type of work, such as buildings, renovation, highways or water and sewer networks, and when profit or taxes are zero. The calculated BDI can be applied to the budget or to the contract.

What goes into the bid notice spreadsheet and the calculation memo?

The spreadsheet comes out as a PDF, with numbered stages and sub-stages (1, 1.1, 2.1.1), SINAPI code, unit, quantity, unit price with and without BDI, and a subtotal per stage. The header carries the process number, bid number, agency, location and scope of the work, responsible engineer, CREA registration and ART. The calculation memo breaks each item down to the basic input, including labor with payroll charges, on screen and as a PDF. The budget also exports to Excel, with materials and ABC curve tabs.

Can the inspector approve the daily report on the phone?

Yes, in the app or on the web. The daily report goes through the contractor's engineering and management and reaches the owner stage, and each approval requires the signature registered in the approver's profile. The electronic signature is drawn on the screen and recorded on the document, with date and time. A rejection returns the report with the inspector's comment. When a project skips the owner stage, it is turned off in the project settings.

How does the IMR with deductions work?

In the contract, you set up the indicators of the performance measurement instrument (IMR), with weight, target and scoring bands, plus the deduction bands, or apply the ready-made model with 7 indicators and 4 bands. At month-end, in financial execution, each indicator's score comes from the data of the contract's units, such as preventive work completed, work orders on time, satisfaction and repeat failures, or is entered by hand. Once the evaluation is approved, the deduction goes into the month's billable amount, and the IMR dashboard shows the trend by contract.

How do monthly measurement and addendums work?

The month's report opens from the contract baseline, with the staffed positions and their CATSER codes plus the discount for uncovered positions, the operating costs, the included ticket budgets, and the SINAPI items with the month's quantity and the cumulative total. A closing checklist verifies the IMR, personnel and costs, and the status moves from Draft to Measured, Approved and Invoiced, with PDF and Excel. Value, scope or term addendums get a number and stay in the contract history.

Can we manage many schools and health units in the same database?

Yes. Units sit in a tree, for example city hall, education department, regional office and school. Each user sees their own unit and the ones below it, and the department gets the consolidated view. A record created at the department can apply to the units below it, reports can be filtered by unit, and screen terms can change per unit, such as renaming Site to School.

How does a school or clinic request a repair?

From the equipment QR code, the principal or any staff member opens the ticket in the phone browser, with no login and no app to install, with a description, email and up to 5 photos. Registered users use the requester portal to open and follow tickets and to accept or decline the solution. The department tracks the SLA in business hours, with calendar, holidays and pause by status, and the satisfaction survey goes out by link after the work is done.

What can internal control look up and export?

The log of who created, changed or deleted each record, with date and time, and the history of each daily report, contract, budget and NF-e. Photos carry date and GPS, and the approvers' signatures stay on the document. Tickets, tasks, NF-e invoices, projects, assets, stock and the log itself export to CSV or Excel, and the documented REST API sends the data to the agency's other systems and dashboards.

Does the app work on a job site or at a unit with no signal?

Yes. In the app, tickets, checklists and FVS, daily reports with photos, checking an NF-e already downloaded, meter readings, approvals and health and safety records stay on the device and sync when the connection comes back. The app is on Google Play (Android), the App Store (iPhone and iPad) and the Microsoft Store (Windows).

Try the demo or schedule a presentation for your team

In the demo, you log into H2O with sample data, on the web and in the app, and open a daily report, an FVS and an invoice. On WhatsApp, we schedule a walkthrough of the SINAPI budget with AI search and BDI, owner approval of the daily report, the monthly measurement with IMR, and the unit tickets. Bring your public works, maintenance and internal control teams.
