Software development for contractors

Construction and contracting

In construction, a lack of overview on a site costs more than almost anywhere else.

Belongs under Software development →

Contractor companies often work across multiple sites, subcontractors, and schedules at the same time. Standard systems are rarely built for the combination of mobility, documentation, and coordination the job requires.

01

Challenges in the industry

  • Documentation and photos from the site are gathered manually, often spread across several apps or emails
  • Time registration and material usage are recorded on paper or in spreadsheets that are only transferred to the system later
  • Communication between office, foremen, and subcontractors happens in separate channels without a shared overview
  • Deviations and defects are discovered on site but are not followed up systematically in the system

02

Workflows we solve

  • Registration of time, materials, and deviations directly from the site via mobile
  • Gathered documentation per project, available to both office and foremen
  • Automatic forwarding of defects and deviations to the right owners
  • Overview of status across multiple ongoing projects

03

Build or buy

Standard systems for construction project management exist, but many contractor companies find that the systems are either too generic for their specific workflows or require significant adaptation to work in practice. A custom system can be built for exactly the combination of mobile registration, documentation, and coordination the company needs, without paying for features that are not used.

Integrations

  • Finance and payroll systems for time registration
  • Existing drawing and document management
  • Calendar systems for coordinating schedules

BEZT experience

BEZT has experience with custom development of systems for companies that need mobile registration and coordination across locations, as part of the 135+ custom projects delivered across industries.

What should decide your choice

  • How many sites and projects should the system cover at the same time?
  • How important is it that data can be registered directly from the site on mobile?
  • Which existing systems does the solution need to integrate with?
  • How large is the need for documentation towards authorities or clients?

Questions we often hear

Can the system be used directly from a mobile on the construction site?
Yes, systems for the contracting industry are typically built with mobile registration as a central element, so data can be entered directly from the site rather than transferred later.
Can you integrate with our current payroll and finance system?
Yes, integration with existing payroll and finance systems is a common part of projects in construction, and we clarify it concretely based on your current setup.
How long does it take to implement a system for multiple sites at once?
It depends on scope and the number of workflows that need to be supported. We often recommend starting with the most time-consuming processes and expanding from there.

Is this relevant to your situation?

We will say so honestly if the job does not belong at BEZT.
