Construction management software for builders and developers

Money coming in from buyers, money going out to contractors, on one screen.

You are selling units and building them at the same time. Most software handles one side or the other, so the booking sheet lives in one place, the site cost lives in another, and nobody can tell you whether a tower is actually profitable until it is finished.

Builders & DevelopersHow a day runs on buildcontrol
1
Sales books a unit
Inquiry, site visit, negotiation and booking are recorded with the broker attached.
2
Payment schedule is set
Slab-linked demands are generated so collections follow construction, not guesswork.
3
Site records the day
Attendance, material issued and progress go in from the app at each tower.
4
Contractor bills get certified
Payments are released against verified work, not against a phone call.
The problem

What actually goes wrong

These are the four things that come up in almost every conversation with a builders and developers team.

Collections and site cost never meetBookings sit in a sales Excel, contractor bills sit with accounts, and the two are reconciled manually at month end, if at all.
Broker payouts get messyCommission is calculated on demand from booking records, and disputes come up months after the sale closed.
Tower-wise cost is a guessMaterial and payments are recorded project-wide, so you cannot say what Tower B cost per square foot until handover.
Handover snags pile upBuyer complaints at possession arrive by phone and WhatsApp, with no list, no owner and no closing date.
Modules that matter most

Start with these four

buildcontrol has eleven modules, but you do not need all of them on day one. For your kind of work, these carry the weight.

Add later, once the first four are running
  • Quality Control for handover snag lists
  • Attendance if you run direct labour
  • Task Management for approvals
Probably not for you: Equipment Management is usually light for developers, since machinery sits with your contractors rather than on your books.
How it runs

One day, end to end

1

Sales books a unit

Inquiry, site visit, negotiation and booking are recorded with the broker attached.

2

Payment schedule is set

Slab-linked demands are generated so collections follow construction, not guesswork.

3

Site records the day

Attendance, material issued and progress go in from the app at each tower.

4

Contractor bills get certified

Payments are released against verified work, not against a phone call.

5

You see cost per tower

Collections in, cost out, margin per block, all on one dashboard.

Who uses it

Every role, one system

Access is controlled by role, so people see what they need and nothing else.

Owner / DirectorPortfolio view, collections against cost, approvals
Project ManagerProgress per tower, contractor certification, delays
Sales HeadInquiries, bookings, broker payouts, collection status

AccountsContractor dues, supplier payments, buyer receipts
Questions

Questions we get from builders and developers

Yes. Material issues, payments and labour are recorded against the block they belong to, so you get cost per tower rather than one project-wide number.
Broker details are attached at booking, so payouts are calculated from actual bookings instead of a separate commission sheet.
Yes. Demands can be linked to construction stages so collection timing follows what is actually built.
Contractor teams can be given access to record attendance and daily work on the sites they are running for you, while commercial data stays with your team.
