Project Management
Project Management System helps you in project planning and scheduling including the various types of processes used in the construction industry with the sequencing of operations in a construction project. All sites are centralized at one place, keeping track of all the tasks going on various sites eliminating pending culture in your organization leading towards a healthy project life cycle. Whatever department is, allot group tasks, and set timelines and budgets to achieve bigger goals. Go as per plan and receive timely pending task alerts and glitches in the life cycle of the project.
Effective project management and cost control are vital for delivering projects on time and within budget. Construction ERP software provides robust project management modules that enable businesses to plan, schedule, and track project progress. These modules include features such as resource allocation, task management, and budget monitoring. Furthermore, integrated cost control functionalities within the construction accounting software enable businesses to track expenses, manage change orders, and ensure accurate billing and invoicing.
Strategic Alignment of Task

Quantity surveying (Billing)
A bill must be raised at the conclusion of each month. They are looking at every aspect of the survey, including the amount of concrete we used, the number of laborers’, the amount of material we used, the amount of time we spent, etc. They calculate all of these, create an invoice, and send it to the clients. primarily the data of existing work will be noted. This is the state of affairs in quantity surveying.
