Construction Project Management Software

Project status should not depend on someone asking everyone yesterday

On most construction sites, the project manager knows what's happening because they called the foreman this morning. The programme is in a spreadsheet one person maintains, the latest drawing is the one in someone's email, and the cost forecast is accurate as of last week. Construction project management software gives your team a single system where the schedule, documents, RFIs, and costs all live, updating in real time as changes are logged, not at month end.

  • Gantt scheduling with critical path, milestone tracking, and lookahead views

  • RFI and submittal workflows with response tracking and full audit trail

  • Drawing and document control with revision history and controlled issue

  • Budget vs actual cost tracking updated in real time as changes are logged

The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Tracking active project status across multiple sites in spreadsheets that nobody trusts?

  • Drawing version control failing because the wrong revision was used on site and the rework is already done?

Short answer

RaftLabs builds custom construction project management software covering Gantt scheduling, resource allocation, RFI and submittal tracking, drawing version control, daily site reporting, and budget vs actual cost tracking. Most construction PM platforms ship in 10-14 weeks at a fixed cost with full source code ownership.

Key takeaways

  • Drawing revision control marks superseded drawings visually and blocks accidental use in the field, with every download logged by timestamp and user for verification if a wrong revision is ever used.
  • RFI and submittal workflows enforce contract response windows with full timestamped audit trail, the difference between a successful claim and a losing dispute.
  • Budget tracking is structured around a schedule of values with G702/G703-format progress billing, updating in real time as purchase orders and variations are recorded, not at month-end.
  • A focused platform (scheduling, document control, RFI, daily reporting, basic cost tracking) runs $35,000-$75,000; resource planning, full variation management, and accounting integration bring it to $75,000-$150,000.

Project status should not depend on someone asking everyone yesterday

That approach works until you're running three projects at once, or a subcontractor installs to the wrong drawing revision, or a client asks for a progress report and your last one is three weeks old. Construction PM software gives field supervisors, document controllers, and cost managers one connected system instead of a patchwork of spreadsheets.

Capabilities

What we build

  • 01
    Gantt scheduling and critical path

    Trade-package Gantt charts with critical path calculation, baseline locking, two-week lookahead views, and programme updates driven directly by daily field progress logs, plus optional 4D BIM scheduling views.

    Built with
    Autodesk Forge
  • 02
    Resource allocation across trades

    Labour demand derived from the programme surfaces trade-level conflicts three to four weeks ahead, with subcontractor bid levelling, material procurement tracking, and OSHA incident reporting from the field app.

  • 03
    RFI and submittal management

    RFIs route to the responsible party with automatic reminders on overdue responses; submittals track through review, approval, and resubmission with every action timestamped for the audit trail.

  • 04
    Document control and drawing revisions

    Each drawing has exactly one current revision, superseded issues are visually marked, and every download is logged, with IFC/BIM model coordination through the same controlled workflow.

    Built with
    Autodesk Forge Viewer
  • 05
    Daily reporting and site progress

    Offline-capable mobile reports capture weather, crew, plant, and progress against programme activities, with photos attached to specific drawing locations rather than an undifferentiated gallery.

  • 06
    Budget vs actual cost tracking

    A schedule of values drives G702/G703-format progress billing, with committed, actual, and forecast costs visible in real time and early warning on cost code overruns.

    Built with
    Xero · QuickBooks · Sage

Frequently asked questions

Custom construction PM software is built around your contract packages, RFI numbering conventions, document discipline codes, cost code structure, and client reporting format. It typically covers Gantt scheduling with critical path, RFI and submittal tracking, drawing and document control with controlled revision history, daily site reporting with offline capability, budget vs actual cost tracking with a schedule of values, and change order management.

Each drawing number has exactly one current revision as the default view. Previous revisions are visually marked superseded, and field workers cannot access one without a deliberate navigation step that triggers a warning. New revisions are issued through a controlled workflow with a transmittal record showing who received them, when, and by what method.

Yes. Common integrations include Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage 200/300, and MYOB. Purchase orders raised in the PM system flow to accounting and actual costs paid flow back to update cost figures without re-entry. ERP integrations with SAP or Dynamics 365 are possible but involve more complex field mapping.

A focused platform covering scheduling, document control, RFI management, daily reporting, and basic cost tracking typically runs $35,000 to $75,000. A more complete platform with resource planning, full variation management, accounting integration, and client portal typically runs $75,000 to $150,000.
