Overview

Varicon is a fat-finger friendly, AI-powered cost and field management platform designed specifically for civil construction contractors.

Game-Changer for Project Cost Management and Daywork Dockets

We've been using Varicon for managing our civil construction projects, and it’s been an absolute game-changer—especially the Daywork Docket feature. This tool has streamlined our processes like never before, making it easy to capture, track, and submit dockets in real time. We no longer require paper dockets, which has been a big win for both our admin team and the environment. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, both in the office and out on site, which means our team adopted it quickly with minimal training. On top of that, the support from the Varicon team is excellent—quick to respond, helpful, and always open to feedback. Overall, it’s a solid investment for any civil contractor looking to improve project controls and simplify site reporting. Highly recommend!

Response from Varicon

Thanks for the great feedback, Crystal! We're glad to hear Varicon is making a real difference for the BDS team—especially with Daywork Dockets and streamlining site reporting. Appreciate the support!

Complete package for civil contractors

We would be lost without Varicon, even the most basic functionality of monthly claims is a breeze and where we see the most value. What once was a spreadsheet nightmare - now a very traceable system to manage claims and retention, which I can reconcile to the head contract As we get around to implementing more features of the software (of which it has a lot) we are only improving more and more as a business.

Response from Varicon

Thanks, Calvin! We’re stoked to hear Varicon’s helped turn the monthly claims chaos into a streamlined, traceable process. Can’t wait to see the impact as you unlock more of the platform.

Great Software

Only software I could find over last 10 years that enables me the flexibility to set up fully customisable job specific cost codes for cost tracking. Bill upload and approval process is spot on with seamless Xero integration. Dayworks system has been a gamechanger. Highly recommend this software.

Response from Varicon

Thanks, Brad! We’re glad Varicon’s flexibility and Xero integration have hit the mark—and that the Dayworks system has been a gamechanger for you. Appreciate the recommendation and support!
