What is construction management software???

So you have heard the term construction management software over and over, but what exactly does it do, why do you need it, and how can it REALLY help your business?

Construction Management Software connects your team and your projects together so that you have greater visibility. Visibility over:

• Your team – where are they, and what are they doing
• Your projects – where are the up to – are you on schedule?
• Resources – do you have the right equipment and employees available when you need them?
• Documents relating to individual jobs – no more hunting for that lost RFI…
• Budgets – is your project on budget, or are you losing money?

With these things in mind, ask yourself:

• Can you set the schedule and budget for all your jobs at the start of the project?
• Are you able to track against these throughout the project lifespan?
• Do you know if you will make a profit or be eating into the bottom line when your project is over?
• Can you tell from a glance if you have enough resources to cover all the project stages coming up?

If your answer to any of these is no, you need construction management software.

All sectors of the economy can benefit from the latest innovation in technology, especially the construction industry. So, investing in construction software is crucial.

With the right software for your business, you can prioritise your resources and ensure their efficient use, no more machines sitting idle, not making money. Your contractors and staff can understand what is coming up, what equipment will be needed and where it needs to be.  

Construction Management Software will enable you to set the scope, lay out the schedule and import the budget all from the moment of contract acceptance. Having this groundwork laid will allow you to view how the project is tracking at any given moment, whether you are on schedule, if you have enough machines to cover stage 3 and if you are sticking to the budget.

Additionally, by setting reminders and alerts about deadlines, the software will allow you to give your project managers KPIs and ensure they are sticking to schedule.
