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.

- Time Savings: By streamlining project workflows and automating manual tasks, construction management software saves valuable time for project managers, contractors, and subcontractors. This time can be redirected towards more productive activities, accelerating project timelines and reducing labour costs.
- Reduced Rework: With better communication and collaboration tools, construction management software helps minimise errors and misunderstandings, leading to fewer costly rework instances.
- Improved Efficiency: By centralising project data and providing real-time insights, construction management software enhances operational efficiency, resulting in overall cost savings.

- Compliance and Risk Management: By providing tools for tracking permits, certifications, and regulatory requirements; construction management software helps reduces the risk of costly fines, penalties, and legal disputes, protecting the project's bottom line.
