Contractor software FAQs
What is general contractor software?
General contractor software is a specialised type of business management software designed to help general contractors in construction manage various aspects of their projects and operations. It's often an all-in-one solution, or an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, tailored specifically for the construction industry.
What it is:
Integrated Platform: Instead of using separate tools for different functions (like spreadsheets for budgeting, a different program for scheduling, and another for accounting), general contractor software brings all these processes together into a single, unified system.
Industry-Specific: Unlike generic business software, it's built with the unique workflows, challenges, and terminology of the construction industry in mind. This means it handles things like job costing, subcontracts, variations (change orders), and site progress tracking in a way that generic software wouldn't.
Centralised Data: All project and company data is stored in one central database, providing a "single source of truth." This improves data accuracy, reduces errors, and ensures everyone is working with the most up-to-date information.
Cloud-Based: Many modern general contractor software solutions are cloud-based, meaning they can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, including on-site via mobile devices.
What is the best software for construction contractors?
Determining the best software for construction contractors depends on various factors such as the size of the business, specific needs, and project requirements. However, some of the main types of software used by construction contractors include:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): ERP systems integrate various business functions such as accounting, project management, procurement, and supply chain management into a single platform. This comprehensive software offers features tailored to the construction industry, including project tracking, resource allocation, budgeting, and subcontractor management.
Project Management Software: Project management software helps contractors plan, execute, and monitor construction projects. It typically includes features such as scheduling, task management, document management, and collaboration tools to streamline project workflows and improve communication among project teams.
Estimating Software: Estimating software assists contractors in accurately estimating the costs of construction projects. It includes features for quantity takeoff, cost estimation, bid management, and proposal generation, helping contractors submit competitive bids and win projects.
Accounting Software: Accounting software helps contractors manage their finances, including invoicing, budgeting, payroll, and financial reporting. It ensures accurate tracking of project costs, profitability analysis, and compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations.
