# Construction project management software development

> Construction project management software plans and controls building projects: schedules and milestones, daily progress reports from site, BOQ and budget tracking, material and labour records, RFIs, drawings and approvals, and client and subcontractor billing. Infikey builds custom systems with offline site apps and management dashboards. Typical builds cost USD 35,000–70,000 depending on modules.

Every site’s progress, cost and paperwork in one place, updated from the field and visible to management the same day.

- **Budget:** USD 35k–70k (INR 28–58 lakh)
- **Site app:** Offline progress, photos, material, labour
- **Control:** BOQ, budget vs actual, variations
- **Billing:** Client RA bills, subcontractor bills, retention

## Features

| Area | Features |
|---|---|
| Planning | Work breakdown structure, milestones, Gantt schedule, look-ahead plans |
| Daily reports | Work done with quantities, photos, labour and equipment on site, weather, issues |
| Cost control | BOQ items, budgets, committed and actual costs, variation orders |
| Materials | Indents, deliveries, site stock, consumption against BOQ norms |
| Documents | Drawing register with revisions, RFIs, submittals and approvals |
| Billing | Measurement records, client running bills, subcontractor bills, retention |
| Dashboards | Progress and cost per project, delays, cash flow, issues needing decisions |

## Built for sites, not just offices

- **Offline-first site app** with large buttons and local language support for supervisors.
- **Photo evidence** tagged with time, location and BOQ item for every progress entry.
- **WhatsApp alerts** for approvals, delays and material shortages.
- **Role-based views**: site engineers see tasks, project managers see cost and schedule, directors see the portfolio.

For maintenance and service teams after handover, see [field service management software](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/construction/field-service-management-software). Developers selling units can connect progress to a [real estate CRM](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/real-estate/real-estate-crm) for buyer updates.

## Cost

## Project blueprint: Project control for a mid-sized building contractor

Based on the requirements we hear most often from buyers like this. A building contractor runs several residential and commercial sites at once. Progress is reported in evening phone calls, material is ordered on WhatsApp, and cost overruns become visible only when the project accountant closes the month.

What we would build:
- Offline site app for daily progress with quantities, photos, labour and equipment
- BOQ import from Excel with budget against committed and actual cost
- Material indents, deliveries and consumption against BOQ norms
- Client and subcontractor billing from recorded measurements
- Director dashboard of progress, cost and issues across sites

How success is measured:
- Cost variance against BOQ per project
- Time from measurement to client bill
- Material consumption against norms
- Sites reporting progress every day

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we import BOQs from Excel?

Yes. BOQs, rate analyses and budgets are imported from Excel templates, then tracked item by item against progress and cost.

### Does it replace Primavera or Microsoft Project?

It can for most building projects. For large infrastructure projects that need advanced scheduling, we import schedules from Primavera or MS Project and track progress and cost against them.

### Can it help with RERA progress updates?

Yes. Progress percentages, photos and expenditure by project are recorded, which makes preparing periodic RERA updates much easier. Your team still files them on the RERA portal.
