Construction management software is a term that refers to software solutions that are designed to support the construction industry. Although features can vary between companies, the goal is to maximise resources, simplify processes and eliminate paperwork. As a result, it can have major benefits in terms of efficiency and build quality.
Construction software can be used for different types of projects, from housebuilding or refurbishments to major engineering projects like tunnels or motorways.
These are the most common features that you’ll find when looking for software for construction management:
The best construction software options offer users multiple features that can be used in all kinds of scenarios. They also offer users the ability to customise features to meet their business needs. Finally, they should also empower managers to oversee all activity via statistics and secure record-keeping.
PlanRadar is one of the best software solutions for construction. It offers users all 5 of the above-mentioned features via both a user-friendly web interface and an intuitive mobile app. That means you can work wherever you need to, with access to all your projects in the office or at the construction site.
It’s not always easy to introduce new technology to a business. Construction is one of the most traditional industries, but it’s also one that could benefit the most by using technology. Many companies still manage highly complicated projects using only Microsoft Excel or even paper forms and snagging lists. While that might work for small projects, it’s a risky strategy when working on large projects.
Project management software makes it easy to visualise progress on construction projects of any size. As a result, you can manage resources and make changes as soon as you see something is going wrong. By managing these situations quickly, you can prevent mistakes while bringing in your projects on-time and on-budget. Using project management software for construction, you give your company the edge in a competitive industry.
From digital reporting tools to better supplier management, there are many ways to further enhance quality in construction using construction project management software. With construction quality management software like PlanRadar, you get access to tools that support quality assurance processes. Everyone working on a project gets access to a powerful app on their smartphone or desktop which helps you to meet quality standards.

For years, we have had the option to use technology for monitoring building site progress from a distance, but few companies used it to its full potential. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed remote construction monitoring into the mainstream – just like remote working more generally.
PlanRadar can help with remote progress monitoring in three ways:
PlanRadar has many features that make it one of the best software solutions for the construction industry. Firstly, it is incredibly easy to use. Our users report that subcontractors need less than 10 minutes of training to use PlanRadar’s app to track their work on-site. Secondly, PlanRadar makes it simple to generate all kinds of construction reports in attractive PDF templates that can be customised with your company logo. Our customers find that they can easily save several hours a week on paperwork alone as a result of the reporting features.
Third, PlanRadar offers free subcontractor and watcher accounts, so you don’t have to pay for additional licenses if you want to connect subcontractors and other project stakeholders.
Unlike other construction project management software, PlanRadar works well on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. There are versions for iOS, Android and Windows and all versions enable you to work from 2D plans and BIM models. You don’t have to take our word for it, try PlanRadar free today!
PlanRadar’s construction project management platform is suitable for general contractors and construction companies of all sizes. However, smaller firms have to be more careful with their investments. That’s why PlanRadar works well for small businesses, with prices starting from $32/month for a basic plan. Even with a basic plan, you can grant an unlimited number of subcontractors free access to a project, making it an extremely cost-effective solution compared to our competitors. Larger companies should get in touch for a custom quotation.
