Construction management software enables general contractors to exercise better control over projects. By simplifying online communication among all project stakeholders, centralising documents management and automating task management, it improves the efficiency of the project team and helps to minimise project risks and maximise project profitability.
Selecting the right construction management software that is most appropriate for your is an important business decision. You will need to ensure that the selected software meets all your critical business needs. Therefore, you must do your research, obtain all relevant information and analyse how it will assist your construction teams to manage their day-to-day tasks.

Request for Information notices or RFIs are one of the most common, and unavoidable, admin processes for a construction project. It is always important for a contractor managing a project that RFIs are managed efficiently to minimise delays and cost overruns.
Construction collaboration is crucial for the success of any project. The sharing of knowledge and information among project participants is one of the fundamental components of a successful working relationship with the goal of completing the project on time, within budget and in accordance with specifications.
Construction is one of the global economy’s largest industries. It employs over 7 percent of the world’s workforce and involves an annual expenditure of around $10 trillion on related goods and services, representing 13% of global GDP. However, the construction industry has lagged behind other industries in improving its productivity.
