The site manager fills in the daily report on the phone, crew hours and delivery notes land on the right site, progress billing is prepared from the data and you know your margin before the works end.
Construction management software collects, for each site, the quote, daily reports, staff hours, equipment, purchases and delivery notes, progress billing and invoices, and shows planned margin next to actual margin. URETECH builds it on Odoo or custom for building and installation firms, and connects it to payroll and accounting.
If you work on projects but not in construction, see job management software.
Signs a site is slipping out of control.
They reach the office at the end of the week, if at all. Hours are rebuilt from memory.
Materials and hire end up in overheads and the site looks richer than it is.
Final figures arrive when nothing can be fixed any more.
Progress statements are prepared by hand and invoices go out late, with cash flow suffering.
From quote to final invoice, for every site.
Quantities, prices and planned margins that become the site budget.
Hours per person, equipment, photos and notes from site, offline too, sent as soon as there is signal.
Supplier orders and delivery notes assigned to the site, matched with invoices.
Site costs compared with the quote, week by week, with alerts.
Progress statements from site data and e-invoice to the Italian SdI.
Hours ready for payroll, costs and revenue to the accounting software.
SITE SIMULATOR
Set up a building site: contract value, crew hours, hourly cost, materials. Add the extra hours and the delivery notes that never reach the job. Then run it for ten weeks and compare the spreadsheet with construction management software.
Planned margin €18,800 · 31.3%
Week 0/10
Margin: you will know when the works end?
Margin at completion, updated weekly€18,800
Actual margin €15,920 · 26.5%
Example values you can change. The maths uses only the numbers you enter.
An example with made-up figures, to show what the owner sees halfway through the works.
| Item | Quote | Halfway | Forecast at completion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crew hours | 600 h | 360 h | 690 h |
| Labour cost | €19,200 | €11,520 | €22,080 |
| Materials and hire | €22,000 | €12,400 | €23,500 |
| Contract revenue | €60,000 | Progress bill 1 invoiced: €30,000 | €60,000 |
| Margin | €18,800 (31%) | on track until week 5 | €14,420 (24%) |
With daily reports the system notices in week five that hours are running ahead of plan. There is still time to find out why: an underestimated task, an unbilled variation, a crew waiting for late materials. In a spreadsheet the same sum arrives when the site is closed.
| Item | Ready-made construction software | Odoo with projects and jobs | Custom |
|---|---|---|---|
| When it fits | Standard processes, few integrations | You want accounting, purchasing and sites together | You already have an ERP and lack the site side |
| Reports from the phone | Often a separate app | Yes, with timesheets and app | Built around how you work |
| Payroll and accounting | Depends on the vendor | Built-in accounting, payroll export | Link to TeamSystem, Zucchetti or your payroll firm |
If you do not know where to start, ERP selection consulting compares the options with your own figures.
The daily report is where everything starts. The site manager opens the app, picks the site, records who was there, for how many hours, with which equipment, and adds photos and notes. If there is no signal on site, the report is saved on the phone and sent once the network is back.
The same hours serve two purposes: site cost and payroll. With time and attendance software connected, at month end your payroll firm receives a checked file instead of signed sheets. If you use TeamSystem or Zucchetti, the link goes through their import formats: see TeamSystem integration and Zucchetti integration.
The report can also hold checks you already do on paper, such as PPE checks or notes for the safety coordinator. They stay attached to the site and are easy to find.
We start from a real site.
How you work today, how many sites and crews, which software the office and payroll firm use.
Odoo or custom, with separate costs for licences, development and support.
We set up the system with one open site: quantities, crews, reports, purchasing.
Open sites, master data, links to payroll and accounting.
Training for office and site managers, then support with a reply within 24 working hours.
Construction software is the building-sector version of our job management software, which starts from €8,000. The price grows with the number of crews and users, with integrations to payroll and accounting and with the data to import; Odoo adds its licence. The quote comes after the free review, with each item separate.
Starting with new sites usually takes a few weeks. Open sites are imported with their budget, so planned against actual is meaningful from day one.
