What the construction CRM does
Works for apartment and commercial fit-outs, private house building and general contractors with several sites.
Sites and stages
All sites on one board: stage, percent complete, deadlines and delays.
Estimates and plan vs actual
Estimate for labour and materials, actual costs per site, live margin.
Crews and foremen
Assigning crews to sites, timesheets, output and payment by stage.
Material purchasing
Foremen's requests, approval, suppliers, delivery to site.
Foreman app
Photo reports by stage, material requests, inspection checklists.
Client portal
The client sees stages, photos, the payment schedule and sign-off certificates.
Contracts and certificates
Contract with a stage schedule, completion certificates, contract amendments.
Owner reports
Margin by site, schedule delays, receivables and crew utilisation.
Why a construction site slips into the red unnoticed
In construction losses build up in small things: an extra truckload of material, rework, crew downtime, extra work with no contract amendment. When the estimate is in Excel and the costs are receipts in the foreman's pocket, the manager only sees the loss when the site is closed. The CRM tracks plan vs actual for every site every day.
The second problem is staying in touch with the site. A manager cannot be on every site at once. Foremen's photo reports by stage, inspection checklists and material requests from a phone give the full picture without site visits.
The third is the client. They want to see what they are paying for. A portal with stages, photos and the payment schedule removes most questions and speeds up payment for the next stage.
Software for construction and apartment renovation companies
Construction company software brings together sales, estimates and site work. Managers handle leads and estimates, foremen work in the app on site, and accountants see payments and purchasing.
A CRM for apartment renovation is simpler: measurement, estimate, contract, stages with photos and payment by stage. For property developers we add tracking of apartments and reservations, and run apartment sales together with our real estate CRM.
If your accounting is already in 1C, the CRM sends purchasing, certificates and payments there, while managers work in a convenient interface from their phone.
Estimate the cost of a CRM for construction companies
The base system with clients, schedule, memberships and payments starts from ₸500 000. Tick what else you need to see an estimate.
This is a calculator estimate. The exact price is set after a one-day audit and fixed in the contract.
Our CRM in production
A chain of sports clubs in Almaty runs memberships, entry and payments in our system
A martial arts club, a fitness club and a stretching studio run on one platform: each has its own app and front desk, and the owner sees shared analytics. We use the core of this system, clients, roles, payments, notifications and owner reports, as the base for a CRM for construction companies, so launch is faster and cheaper than building from scratch.
Custom CRM or Bitrix24 and amoCRM
Off-the-shelf CRMs work well for sales teams. For construction companies you end up bending the workflow to fit them, and you pay for every employee every month.
