At buildcontrol, we continuously focus on improving the way construction businesses manage projects, teams, materials, finances, and daily operations. With the release of buildcontrol version 11.6.1, we are introducing powerful enhancements designed to improve productivity, transparency, project control, and user experience across multiple modules.
As a complete construction project management platform, buildcontrol helps builders, contractors, developers, and construction teams manage every stage of their projects from one centralised system. Version 11.6.1 was released on 17 June 2026.
HRMS module now live
Managing employees, attendance, and workforce operations plays an important role in successful construction project execution. With version 11.6.1, the HRMS module is now live with improved stability, better performance, and a more streamlined experience.
Organisations can now efficiently manage employee records, attendance tracking, leave management, and workforce operations from a single platform. Integrated with attendance management, businesses can improve workforce visibility, monitor employee activities, and maintain better control over project teams.
Daily worksheet approval workflow
Accurate site reporting is essential for maintaining accountability and project transparency. Version 11.6.1 introduces a structured daily worksheet approval workflow that allows site teams, supervisors, and project managers to review, verify, and approve daily activities before final submission.
This enhancement works together with daily reporting, helping teams maintain accurate site records and improve communication between project stakeholders.
Estimated materials in task management
Material planning directly affects project timelines, budgets, and overall execution quality. With this update, users can now define estimated material requirements directly within tasks. This helps project teams improve forecasting, plan procurement activities, and reduce delays caused by material shortages.
Advanced financial permissions
Financial control is one of the most important aspects of construction management. Version 11.6.1 introduces advanced financial permissions that allow organisations to control access to financial information based on user roles and responsibilities. This ensures sensitive financial data remains secure while allowing authorised users to access the information they need.
Role-based financial permissions mean site teams can record spend without ever seeing project margins.
Central inventory stock valuation
Inventory represents a major asset for every construction business. The central inventory module now displays the total value of available stock, providing better visibility into inventory assets across projects and warehouses. This improvement helps organisations understand stock value, improve procurement decisions, and maintain better financial planning.
Improved user interface experience
To provide a smoother and more modern experience, multiple modules have received interface enhancements. The redesigned modules include:
- Booking management
- Inspection requests
- Project drawings
- Testing reports
- Switch organisation
- Login screen
- Sign up screen
- Issue & snag management
- Progress reports
- Gallery module
- Team chat
Reporting enhancements
Construction businesses depend on accurate data and reports to make informed decisions. Version 11.6.1 introduces advanced report sorting capabilities, allowing users to organise and analyse information faster. These improvements help teams identify trends, track performance, and improve project visibility.
Purchase order enhancements
Procurement plays a major role in construction project success. To improve purchasing workflows, version 11.6.1 introduces a dedicated billing address field in purchase orders. This helps businesses maintain better vendor documentation and meet compliance requirements. The purchase order format has also been improved with a cleaner design and better readability.
Enhanced task dashboard
The task dashboard has been improved to provide better visibility into project progress, execution status, and team performance. Users can now monitor:
- Task progress
- Project execution
- Team productivity
- Project performance
- Overall workflow status
