Hey, builder

Your entire construction site — in your pocket.

Track every bag of cement, every mason-day, and every rupee. Log materials, labor, and payments from your phone — and show your client abroad exactly where the money went.

A note from Aenish, founder of GharNaksa: I built this so homeowners, contractors and families abroad can share one honest record of materials, labor, payments and site progress — wherever they are.

A quick look at how site owners, contractors and families keep every rupee and every bag of cement on record.

The problem

Building a house shouldn't feel like flying blind

Materials, labor and cash move every single day. Without a clear record, trust erodes and money slips away.

Bills lost in a shoebox

Paper receipts pile up, fade and go missing. When it is time to settle accounts, the numbers never match.

No idea where the money went

Cash flows to suppliers and labor daily, but there is no running record — so trust breaks down fast.

Building blind from abroad

You are funding a house 10,000 km away and rely on phone calls and blurry photos to know what is really happening.

Endless WhatsApp updates

Photos, voice notes and numbers scattered across chats. Nobody has the full picture in one place.

Everything on your site

One app for materials, labor, money and proof

Ten ways to keep your construction project organised, transparent and under control — all from your phone.

01

Every bag, every bill

Log cement, sand, rod, aggregate and bricks as they arrive. Record quantity, rate and supplier so nothing slips through the cracks.

02

Know what you paid your crew

Track mason-days, labor rates and attendance. See exactly how much your crew worked and what it cost you.

03

Who got paid what

Record every payment to suppliers and workers. Keep a running ledger so balances are always clear.

04

A diary of the whole build

Capture daily logs of work done, weather and site notes. Look back at any day of the project in seconds.

05

Catch problems early

Raise and track site issues before they become expensive. Assign, comment and resolve without losing the thread.

06

Proof at every stage

Attach site photos to each stage of construction. Give your client a visual record of real progress.

07

Plan floor by floor

Break the build into a WBS with checklists per floor and task. Tick off milestones as the structure rises.

08

All your drawings in one place

Store maps, drawings and documents against the project. Find the right file without digging through chats.

09

Share a clean statement

Export a professional PDF report of materials, labor and payments. Send a statement your client actually trusts.

10

Invite your client or supervisor

Add your client, engineer or site supervisor to collaborate. Everyone sees the same numbers in real time.

Home loan structures in Nepal

The EMI is only one line of a larger file

A construction-linked home loan is not the same product as a ready-house mortgage. Tenure, disbursement, documents and when interest starts all change. Use the tabs above to price the monthly number, then read the structure you are actually signing.

Ready home / flat loan

One sanction against a completed house or apartment. Disbursement is usually faster once the sale deed, valuation and insurance are in place. EMI starts on the full released amount.

House construction loan

Sanctioned against land + approved drawings + a cost estimate. Money is released in stages (foundation, each slab, brickwork, finishing). Interest accrues only on what has already been disbursed — early EMIs can look smaller than the full-loan EMI.

Plot + construction package

Two linked facilities: a land tranche first, then construction tranches. Confirm both tenures, both rates and whether the land EMI is absorbed into the construction EMI later.

Home improvement / renovation

Shorter tenures, smaller tickets. Banks want a written scope (kitchen, bathrooms, extra floor). Pair this with the renovation and interior calculators so the file matches the site plan.

NRN / remittance-backed loan

Foreign income is accepted by several Nepal banks if a local co-borrower signs and remittance history is clean. Many diaspora families take a smaller local loan and send equity in stages — that mix often costs less than leveraging the full build.

Top-up or loan against property

Extra borrowing on a house you already own, or on a running home loan. Useful for a later storey, interiors or a second plot. LTV is measured on current valuation, not the original purchase price.

Stage-wise disbursement

Agree the tranche schedule in writing and align it with contractor milestones. A delayed photo record or missing bill can stall the next release exactly when the mason needs cement.

Prepay early, not late

The first years of a long loan are interest-heavy. A prepayment in year one usually saves more than the same amount in year twelve. Check lock-in and foreclosure charges first.

Costs outside the EMI

Processing fee, valuation, legal, insurance, stamp duty and municipality charges sit outside this calculator. Keep them in the project budget, not in the EMI line.

Documents banks usually ask for

  • Citizenship / passport and recent photos
  • Income: salary certificate, audited accounts or remittance trail
  • 6–12 months of bank statements
  • Lalpurja, char killa and latest malpot / tax receipt
  • Municipality-approved drawings (Naksa Pass)
  • Engineer’s cost estimate / BOQ for construction loans
  • Valuation report and site photographs
  • Co-borrower papers if income is foreign or informal

Worked EMI, prepayment and eligibility examples are in the home loan EMI calculator guide. For papers and tranche disbursement, read the home loan process article, then track actual site spend in GharNaksa so each bank inspection is quick.

App tutorial

How to use the Construction Material Tracker

Create a project, edit details, log materials and payments, add progress photos, then export a report — step by step for GharNaksa on Android.

~1 minute walkthrough · Real app screens · Full written tutorial →

  1. Step 01

    Install the app (or use Guest mode)

    Get GharNaksa on Android and open the home dashboard.

    • Install free from Google Play — search “GharNaksa” or use the install button on this site.
    • Open the app and optionally explore in Guest mode without creating an account first.
    • When you are ready, create an account so projects sync, back up and can be shared with your team.
    GharNaksa home dashboard showing projects and overview
  2. Step 02

    Create a construction project

    Set up each site as its own project with name and location.

    • From the home or projects list, tap to create a new project.
    • Enter a clear site name (e.g. “Budhanilkantha house” or “Chitwan plot A”).
    • Add location and any notes that help your team recognise the job.
    • Save — the project becomes the container for materials, labor, payments and photos.
    GharNaksa projects list for creating and managing construction sites
  3. Step 03

    Edit an existing project

    Update project details whenever the job changes.

    • Open the project from your projects list or home dashboard.
    • Edit name, location, status (active / on hold / completed) or team notes as needed.
    • Keep one project per site so totals stay clean — do not mix two houses in one project.
    • Completed jobs can stay in the list for records and PDF exports later.
    Project list where you open and edit a construction project
  4. Step 04

    Log construction materials

    Track every bag of cement, rod, sand and brick delivery.

    • Open the project → Materials (or the materials entry flow).
    • Add material type, quantity, unit rate, supplier and date.
    • Log deliveries as trucks arrive — not at the end of the week.
    • Running totals show where material money went floor by floor.
    Materials tracking screen with quantities rates and suppliers
  5. Step 05

    Daily progress & site photos

    Keep a dated diary of work done with proof photos.

    • Add a daily log with what happened on site (weather, crew, work done).
    • Attach progress photos so NRN clients abroad see real stages — not blurry chat dumps.
    • Use the timeline later to settle disputes about what was finished when.
    Daily progress log with site photos in GharNaksa
  6. Step 06

    Raise and track site issues

    Catch problems early before they become expensive.

    • Log issues with a short description and optional photo.
    • Update status as items are discussed and resolved.
    • Shared visibility keeps the contractor and client aligned.
    Site issues list and activity timeline
  7. Step 07

    Record payments and balances

    Know who was paid what — suppliers, labor and stage bills.

    • Record advances, supplier bills, labor payments and stage payments with dates.
    • Keep a running ledger so balances stay clear for everyone on the project.
    • Compare payments against material and labor entries when reviewing the month.
    Payments and vendor balances in the construction tracker
  8. Step 08

    Plan stages and schedule

    Break the build into milestones you can tick off.

    • Use the schedule / WBS view to map foundation, structure, finishing and handover.
    • Update milestones as work completes so the timeline matches reality.
    • Pair stages with payment schedules so money follows verified progress.
    Project schedule with milestones and timeline
  9. Step 09

    Export reports for your client

    Share a professional PDF instead of scattered WhatsApp numbers.

    • Open Reports and export materials, payments, progress or a full summary.
    • Invite collaborators so the client or engineer sees the same project live.
    • Send the PDF after major stages — especially for NRN funders abroad.

Reporting case study

Budhanilkantha 2.5-storey RCC house

01

The visibility gap

Construction information was spread across conversations and separate records, making stage and payment review difficult.

02

The reporting setup

A shared project record organised the programme, activity trail, site photos, materials, payments and vendor statements.

03

The client view

The homeowner could review the same dated information remotely and raise questions from one report instead of reconstructing the story from chat.

Report content depends on the selected package, information available on site and the visible work at the time of inspection. Monitoring is not a substitute for full-time supervision, structural design or statutory approval.

Simple software. Professional oversight when you need it.

Start free. Pay for deeper control.

Construction tracker for Nepal

Track materials, labor and payments — not just chat updates

GharNaksa is a construction material and cost tracker app built for house builds in Nepal. Homeowners, contractors, engineers and NRN clients use it to log cement and rebar deliveries, mason-days, supplier bills, stage payments and dated progress photos in one shared project — so everyone sees where the money and the work went.

Before construction starts, plan house design in Nepal, estimate house construction cost, prepare Naksa Pass, and size interiors with free tools for interior finishing, bathroom renovation Nepal, false ceiling, ready made modular kitchen, boundary wall cost, parapet wall cost, materials and land area. During the build, replace estimates with real entries in the app.

Check live planning rates for cement price in Nepal today, how many cement bags for a house, sand and aggregate price, brick price in Nepal, rod (saria) price, 2-storey house construction cost, home loan EMI, prepayment and eligibility (EMI calculator guide) , foundation cost calculator, average cost to build a house, expense tracking and NRN builds from abroad.
