Easily manage your construction projects: Find nearby projects, schedule tasks, communicate with your team, and control finances — all in one place. With a construction management platform, you can do it all! Having developed over 15 projects in the PropTech and Real Estate fields, we’ve helped businesses enhance their productivity and profitability. Based on our experience, this article will explain how a construction management platform works, outline the essential features to include, and identify who can benefit from such solutions and how.
Construction management software is a solution, whether a web platform or an app, designed to streamline various processes for companies. It helps find new partners and customers, manage budgets, utilize analytical tools, improve communication, make decisions, schedule tasks, and more.
Any home builder software’s primary goal is to simplify construction business processes. Understanding its features is crucial to developing effective construction software for your business.
Features for Construction Software
Construction management software performs more effectively with the right feature set. While features can vary based on your business goals, we’ve identified the most commonly used ones in the home-building industry:
Dashboard
The dashboard is a must-have feature that needs to be developed with precision. Focusing on user experience (UX) ensures that all essential information is presented clearly and efficiently.
For example, we developed a dashboard for our client, BuilderPad. This dashboard displays all construction projects, allowing users to access single or multiple projects. Users can view project details, create new projects, edit existing ones, and more.
Scheduling
The scheduling feature is a versatile tool that allows users to manage their timelines in a way that suits their needs. With three unique views: Calendar view, list view, and Gantt, users can adapt and respond to project changes.
The image below shows how we developed the custom builders’ schedule feature. Here, users can utilize auto-scheduling, receive overdue alerts, track the critical path, view Gantt project baselines, and access a weekly Outlook.
Progress Tracker
The Progress Tracker is a feature that keeps users informed and in tune with their projects. It allows them to monitor the progress of individual stages and tasks, providing a clear visual representation of performance and the percentage of each process completed.
Communication Tools
An example we built specifically for our client to improve communication:
Push notifications, messages, and in-app messaging improve communication on the job site by connecting customers, subcontractors, and your team. These features also help improve overall communication throughout your projects.
Top Feature from RewiSoft Team: Geo-Location
We implemented the geo-location feature for our client, BuilderPad:
How it Works and Why It’s Important:
The geo-location feature enables project managers to find nearby projects efficiently. Using a specialized filter, managers can quickly locate projects in their vicinity, saving time searching for location data on each project.
Activity Feed
Having all important files in one place helps with better project management. The Activity Feed feature allows users to organize, filter, and catalog all activities, documentation, communication, photos, and videos during the construction process. This feature also allows collaborative sharing and feedback, helping ensure great team communication (and happy clients) from beginning to end.
Finances
See the example of how we developed a Finance Feature for our client in the Real Estate field:
The financial functionality enables property managers to handle various financial tasks, including creating manual payments and expenses, monitoring cash flow, analyzing profit and loss, and tracking tenant debts.
