Software for construction and contracting
The margin is decided in the field and lost in the paperwork.
Systems we integrate with
- Construction accounting & ERP
- Project management platforms
- Plan & document management
- Payroll & certified payroll
- Equipment telematics
- E-signature
- Supplier & procurement systems
- Scheduling tools
What actually goes wrong in construction
Recognisable, specific, and drawn from systems we've worked on rather than an industry report.
Estimating lives in a spreadsheet only one person fully understands
Assemblies, markups and historical unit costs accumulate in a workbook with no version history. When that person is unavailable, bidding slows to a stop.
You learn a job lost money after it is finished
Costs land in accounting weeks after the work happens, so job cost is a postmortem rather than a control. By the time the variance is visible, the crew is on the next project.
Change orders get done before they get approved
Work proceeds on a verbal instruction, the paperwork follows late or never, and the disputed amount comes out of your margin at closeout.
Field data arrives as photos, texts and paper tickets
Daily reports, quantities, delays and safety observations are captured in whatever the foreman had to hand, then retyped by office staff days later.
Subcontractor compliance is tracked until it isn't
Certificates of insurance expire, lien waivers go uncollected, and it surfaces during an audit or a claim rather than before the sub is allowed on site.
Systems we've built for construction
Not a menu, just a description of the shapes of work that come up repeatedly in this vertical.
- Estimating and takeoff tooling with historical unit costs
- Live job costing against budget, by phase and cost code
- Mobile daily reports and field capture that work without signal
- Change order, RFI and submittal workflows with approval trails
- Subcontractor compliance: COI expiry, lien waivers, prequalification
- Progress billing, schedule of values and retainage tracking
- Equipment, fleet and materials tracking across sites
- Punch lists, inspections and closeout documentation
The requirements that are easier to build in than bolt on
Compliance, auditability and correctness cost far less when they're part of the architecture from the start. Retrofitting them is where budgets go.
Offline is the normal case, not the edge case
A jobsite basement has no signal. Field tools queue work locally and reconcile on reconnect, with conflict handling designed rather than improvised.
Retainage, liens and prevailing wage are arithmetic you cannot get wrong
Certified payroll and lien deadlines carry statutory consequences. The rules belong in the system, not in someone's recollection of them.
Photos and documents are evidence
Disputes are settled years later on the strength of the record. Retention, timestamps and immutability are architectural decisions.
Subs and staff are not the same user
External parties need access to their own scope and nothing else, without an account provisioning process that nobody will follow.
How construction clients usually engage
Custom Software Development
Applications built for how your business actually works: the workflows no off-the-shelf product will ever match.
Systems Integration
Connect your CRM, ERP, PMS, billing and internal tools so data moves once, automatically, and stops being retyped.
Dedicated Teams
Vetted nearshore engineers who join your standups, your repo, and your roadmap, and who stay long enough to build real context.
