Core modules

Core Construction Management System modules

The modules most contractors start with, on one project record. Scheduling can extend into our Project Management Software.

Budget sheet with a cost gauge, standing for project budgets and cost control

Project budgets and cost control

Set a budget for each project by cost code, then compare committed, certified and actual cost against it, with an alert when a trade package runs over.

Progress claim document with a payment certificate stamp beside it

Progress claims and payment certificates

Prepare progress claims from the measured work done each month, track the certified amount and retention against every claim, and see what remains unpaid on each project.

Variation orders

Log each instruction from the client or consultant as a variation, price it, send it for approval and carry approved amounts straight into the budget and the next claim.

Subcontractor management

Keep every subcontract with its scope, rates and retention, record subcontractor claims against work done on site, and hold payment until the site team confirms the work.

Site diary notebook with a weather symbol and a photo clipped to it, standing for daily site reports

Site diaries and daily reports

Site supervisors fill in the daily diary on a phone, with weather, manpower by trade, plant on site, deliveries and photos, all stamped with the date and project.

Safety inspections and WSH records

Run safety inspections from checklists on a tablet, raise each finding with photos and a due date, and close it only when the corrective action is recorded.

Cost control

Construction project cost control and budget tracking

Every cost on a project is recorded against a cost code: purchase orders, subcontract claims, labour and plant. You see budget, committed, certified and spent side by side, and the forecast final cost moves as variations are approved. Materials can be ordered through our Procurement Software.

  • Budgets set by cost code, trade package or work breakdown
  • Purchase orders and subcontracts counted as committed cost once issued
  • Cash flow by month from planned claims and payments
  • Margin by project for directors, well before the final account
  • AI can forecast the final cost and flag cost codes trending over budget

Questions

Construction Management Software FAQs

The best Construction Project Management Software is the one that matches how your company prices, claims and pays for work. Packaged platforms suit standard processes, and a custom build suits contractors whose cost codes and claim cycles differ.

Project Management Software plans tasks, schedules and resources. Construction Management Software adds the commercial and site side: budgets by cost code, progress claims, variations, subcontractors, site diaries and safety inspections. We can build both on one project record.

In construction, ERP means one system for the whole contracting business: project costing, claims, procurement, subcontractors, labour costs and accounts, instead of separate tools that each hold part of the figures. We build it around your own cost codes.

Cost depends on scope: the modules in the first phase, the mobile screens for site teams, the data to migrate and the systems to connect. We quote each phase after a scoping session. Call 6581 3431 to discuss yours.

It depends on the first phase. A release with budgets, claims and site diaries goes live sooner than a full build with procurement and a subcontractor portal, and we give you a schedule once the scope is agreed.

We move it for you. We map your budget sheets, claim records and subcontract registers to the new structure, run a test import for your team to check, then load live projects on an agreed cut-off date.

The system keeps every progress claim and payment response with its amounts, supporting documents and the date it was served. Your commercial team then has a complete record to work from under the Security of Payment Act.

Our solutions are eligible for government grants. We explain how the schemes apply to your project and what the agency looks for, so you can budget for each phase with the full picture in front of you.

The system connects to Xero, QuickBooks and other accounting software, so client invoices, supplier bills and payments sync without retyping. Invoices can also go out through InvoiceNow (Peppol) to clients who accept e-invoices.

AI features can be added, each scoped with you and built in its own phase using information from your system. They cover reading invoices, drafting claims and diaries, data questions, forecasts and overrun alerts, all checked by your team.

Site teams use it on a phone or tablet, entering diaries, inspections, defects and photos where the work happens. Offline entry can be built for basements and other areas with poor signal, syncing once back online.
