Interior & Fit-out

Project management software for interior and fit-out companies

Short timelines, high finish, and a snag list that has to close.

Your projects run in weeks, not years, and they happen inside somebody else's building. You are coordinating carpenters, electricians, HVAC and plumbing teams on a site you do not control, against a handover date that the client will not move. Interior and MEP work usually sit in the same firm, and this covers both.

Interior CompaniesHow a day runs on buildcontrol
1
Work is assigned by discipline
Carpentry, electrical, HVAC and finishing each get their own tasks with drawings.
2
Material reaches the client site
Stock is booked to that site so shortages surface before the crew arrives.
3
Daily progress is photographed
Short cycle work gets recorded daily, not weekly.
4
Snags are raised and assigned
Every defect gets an owner, a photo and a target date.
The problem

What actually goes wrong

These are the four things that come up in almost every conversation with a interior companies team.

Handover lives or dies on the snag listClient walkthroughs generate long defect lists on paper, and closure has no owner, no photo and no deadline.
Too many small vendorsCarpentry, false ceiling, electrical, HVAC and furniture vendors are each tracked in a different chat and a different sheet.
Material sits at client sitesStock is spread across sites you do not own, and shortages are found on the day the work is scheduled.
The cycle is too short to correctOn a ten week fit-out, a two week reporting lag means the project is over before the problem surfaces.
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
  • Petty Cash for daily site spend
  • Daily Worksheet for progress photos
  • Attendance for karigars and vendor teams
Probably not for you: Equipment Management matters less here, since fit-out work rarely involves owned heavy machinery.
How it runs

One day, end to end

1

Work is assigned by discipline

Carpentry, electrical, HVAC and finishing each get their own tasks with drawings.

2

Material reaches the client site

Stock is booked to that site so shortages surface before the crew arrives.

3

Daily progress is photographed

Short cycle work gets recorded daily, not weekly.

4

Snags are raised and assigned

Every defect gets an owner, a photo and a target date.

5

Handover closes clean

The snag list is closed with proof, not with a verbal assurance.

Who uses it

Every role, one system

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

Questions

Questions we get from interior companies

Yes. Most interior firms in India carry MEP in-house, so electrical, HVAC and plumbing are handled as disciplines within the same project rather than as a separate system.
Yes. Each vendor has their own contract, advances, part payments and assigned snags, instead of being tracked in separate chats.
Start with Quality Control, Tasks and Material. Those three cover a fit-out cycle, and the rest can stay off until you need them.
Yes. Geo-fenced attendance is set against the client site location, which also gives you a record of who was on their premises and when.
