Construction management software is a specialised digital solution designed to streamline and optimise various aspects of construction project planning, execution, and administration.
Construction management software, such as ERP, offer features like project scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, document management, and communication tools, enabling construction firms to enhance efficiency, collaboration, and overall project success.
Construction management software has become a cornerstone for business operations, allowing you to unify financials and workforce management, improve operational oversights and strengthen your decision-making processes.
Utilising construction management software, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), offers a multitude of advantages including:
Construction companies should look to use construction management software to streamline their operations as well as staying competitive in the industry.
By unifying disparate systems into a consolidated software suite, such as ERP, construction businesses can unify financials and workforce management, improve operational oversights and strengthen their decision-making processes.
Moving to a construction-specific software system ensures that it is designed around the project-focused nature of construction businesses and its bespoke requirements.
Construction companies typically utilise a variety of software solutions to streamline operations and enhance project management. The main types of construction management software include:
Project Management Software: Platforms like Access Coins facilitate project planning, scheduling, task management, and collaboration among project teams.
Estimating Software: Tools such as Access ConQuest streamline the process of estimating project costs, materials, and labour requirements.
Financial Management Software: Solutions like Access Coins are commonly used for financial management, invoicing, payroll, and budget tracking.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) Software: BIM tools like Autodesk Revit enable the creation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of construction projects.
ERP Software: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems such as Access Coins, provide comprehensive business management capabilities, integrating functions like accounting, project management, procurement, HR, and more into a single unified platform.
To choose the best construction management software, you and your stakeholders should conduct thorough research into the leading software and create a shortlist.
You should then cross-reference your requirements from the software with the features of each of your shortlisted options.
For a leading ERP, you should ensure each solution has modules for Project Management, Service Management, HR & Payroll, Supply Chain Management, Operations and Financial Management.
You should also consider other factors such as cost, suitability for the size of your business and whether you want a cloud-hosted or on-premise solution.
We have written a Buyer’s Guide to Construction Management Software to help construction companies navigate the process.

Most commonly, construction management software such as ERP is sold in a ‘modular costing system’, in which tailored bundles are crafted after discovery calls to learn your businesses requirements. Bundles are usually sold on a per-user basis in the form of licenses.
Your company can then choose between several add-ons for extra features and capabilities. Other factors to consider when it comes to overall cost include:
