Industry guide

Software for construction firms

Construction firms manage material across several active sites, a workforce that is mostly contract labour paid by attendance, and progress billing that is milestone-based rather than invoice-on-delivery. Profitability is only visible if costs are captured live.

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

  • Material sits across several active sites and moves between them
  • Most of the workforce is contract labour, paid by attendance at site
  • Progress billing is milestone-based, not invoice-on-delivery
  • Subcontractor bills and retention money need their own tracking
  • Project profitability is only visible after the fact unless costs are captured live
