Tracking active project status across multiple sites in spreadsheets that nobody trusts?
Drawing version control failing because the wrong revision was used on site and the rework is already done?
Construction Project Management Software
Custom project management software for general contractors, project managers, and construction companies who need scheduling, document control, site reporting, and cost tracking in one place -- not a patchwork of spreadsheets and shared drives.
Built for how construction projects actually run. Gantt schedules, RFI workflows, controlled drawing revisions, daily progress logs, and budget tracking that updates in real time -- not at month end.
Gantt scheduling with critical path, milestone tracking, and lookahead views
RFI and submittal workflows with response tracking and full audit trail
Drawing and document control with revision history and controlled issue
Budget vs actual cost tracking updated in real time as changes are logged
RaftLabs builds custom construction project management software covering Gantt scheduling, resource allocation, RFI and submittal tracking, drawing version control, daily site reporting, and budget vs actual cost tracking. Most construction PM platforms ship in 10-14 weeks at a fixed cost with full source code ownership.

Project status should not depend on someone asking everyone yesterday
On most construction sites, the project manager knows what's happening because they called the foreman this morning. The programme is in a spreadsheet that one person maintains. The latest drawing is the one in someone's email. The cost forecast is accurate as of the numbers from last week.
That approach works until you're running three projects at once, or a subcontractor installs to the wrong revision of a drawing, or a client asks for a progress report and your last one is three weeks old.
Construction project management software gives your team a single system where the schedule, the documents, the RFIs, and the costs all live. Field supervisors log daily progress against the programme. Drawings are issued through controlled workflows so everyone sees the current revision. RFIs go through a tracked system rather than email chains. The cost picture updates as purchase orders are raised and variations are approved.
What we build
Gantt scheduling and critical path
Gantt charts built for construction programmes -- trade packages, milestones, look-ahead schedules, and critical path calculation. Task dependencies linked so a slip on one trade cascades correctly through dependent activities. Baseline schedule locked at project start with variance tracking against actual progress. Two-week lookahead views for foremen and site supervisors to plan day-to-day work. Programme updated in real time by field progress logs, not by someone manually adjusting bars in a spreadsheet.
Resource allocation across trades
Resource planning that shows trade labour allocation across your active project portfolio. Crew size requirements pulled from the programme and matched against available resources by trade. Allocation conflicts surfaced before they become site delays. Subcontractor and direct labour tracked separately with start date, finish date, and peak crew requirements visible in one view. The visibility that tells you three weeks in advance that two projects need the same formwork crew at the same time.
RFI and submittal management
RFI and submittal workflows with status tracking, response deadlines, and full audit trail. RFIs assigned to the responsible consultant with automatic reminders on overdue responses. Submittals tracked through review, approval, and resubmission cycles. Drawing mark-ups and responses attached directly to the RFI record. Distribution lists managed per RFI so the right people receive each communication. Closed RFIs searchable by keyword, trade, and date range -- the paper trail that's automatic, not something you assemble at claim time.
Document control and drawing revisions
Drawing register with revision history, supersession tracking, and transmittal records. New drawing revisions automatically supersede previous issues so field workers always access the current version. Outdated drawings clearly marked to prevent use on site. Document sets managed by discipline and contract package. Transmittal records showing who received which revision and when. Access controls so subcontractors see only the documents relevant to their package -- not your full project documentation.
Daily reporting and site progress
Daily site report forms completed by foremen and supervisors from a mobile app -- works offline and syncs when connectivity returns. Reports capture weather, crew on site by trade, plant on site, work completed against programme activities, and site issues or instructions received. Photos attached against specific drawing locations or programme activities. Reports compiled automatically into weekly progress summaries for client reporting. The site record that takes five minutes to complete, not forty-five.
Budget vs actual cost tracking
Budget tracking that shows committed costs, actual costs to date, forecast final cost, and variation budget in real time. Purchase orders raised against cost codes and matched to budget lines. Variation orders tracked through approval workflow before being added to contract value. Early warning on cost code overruns before they become problems you explain to the client. Cost reports by package, trade, and cost code generated without manual spreadsheet assembly. The financial picture your commercial manager needs, available every day -- not assembled at month end.
Frequently asked questions
Custom construction PM software is built around the specific way your projects are structured -- your contract packages, your RFI workflow, your document numbering conventions, and your cost code structure. It typically covers programme management and scheduling, RFI and submittal tracking, drawing and document control with revision history, daily site reporting from mobile apps, and budget vs actual cost tracking. It integrates with your accounting system so cost data doesn't require manual entry in two places. Off-the-shelf PM tools like Procore or Aconex handle common workflows well, but construction companies with unusual contract structures, specific reporting requirements, or integrations with proprietary systems often find custom software more efficient than forcing their process into a generic platform.
Drawing version control is one of the highest-stakes features in construction PM software because errors cost real money. We build systems where each drawing has a single current revision clearly displayed, previous revisions are accessible but visually marked as superseded, and field workers cannot accidentally access an outdated drawing without a clear warning. New revisions are issued through a controlled workflow: uploaded, checked, issued to distribution list via transmittal, and the previous revision automatically marked superseded. Field mobile apps display the current revision pulled from the document register -- not a local copy that might be outdated. The transmittal record shows exactly who received which revision and when.
Yes. Construction PM software commonly integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and MYOB for cost data -- purchase orders raised in the PM system flow to the accounting system without manual re-entry, and actual costs paid flow back to the PM system for budget tracking. The integration scope depends on what your accounting system exposes via API and what cost data needs to flow in each direction. We scope the accounting integration specifically during discovery and tell you what's achievable and what it costs before development starts. ERP integrations with SAP or Microsoft Dynamics are also possible but involve more complex mapping and typically add to the project scope.
A focused construction PM platform covering scheduling, document control, RFI management, daily reporting, and basic cost tracking typically runs $35,000--$75,000. A more complete platform with resource planning, full variation management, accounting integration, and client portal typically runs $75,000--$150,000. Cost depends on the number of modules, the complexity of integrations, whether you need mobile apps for field crews, and the scale of your reporting requirements. We scope every project before pricing it -- you get a fixed cost covering an agreed scope, not a time-and-materials estimate that grows through development.
