Software for contractors, engineers and the operators who inherit the asset
Construction & Infrastructure
A construction programme generates more operational data than almost any other industry and trusts less of it. This practice builds the project, site and asset systems behind a contractor or infrastructure operator. A slipping milestone shows early, the site record is captured at the point of work, and the asset hands over with data that can be relied on.
01Start from the site, not the software
Name the operational pressure first.
Construction buyers arrive with a symptom rather than a specification. Project controls scattered across spreadsheets, site records written up after the fact, or handover data the operator cannot trust each point at a different practice. Naming the pressure narrows the route before any technology is chosen.
Programme, cost and change data sit in disconnected files, so nobody sees a slipping milestone until it has slipped.A custom project-controls system holds one version of programme and cost, and the data practice keeps the ERP and estimating tools in step with it.
Daily logs, inspections, permits and plant movements are recorded after the fact, if at all.A site app captures the record at the point of work, offline if needed, and applied AI turns site imagery and documents into signals without a person typing them in.
Commissioning records, as-built models and maintenance histories disagree, and the operator inherits the mess.Data engineering builds one governed asset record, and custom development replaces the systems that keep corrupting it.

02The site as a design input
Built for the field, the subcontractor and the thirty-year asset.
Construction software fails in ways an office system never sees. A form is filled in a basement with no signal, a subcontractor joined last week, and a record must still be readable when the asset is refurbished decades later. The delivery process treats those conditions as architecture decisions, settled before the first screen is designed.
Map what has to be true at handover
Which records the operator, the client and the regulator will ask for is settled first, so the site capture and the data model are built to produce them rather than reconstruct them.
The record before the interfaceDesign offline-first, sync second
Field applications queue every entry locally and resolve conflicts deliberately, because a site loses connectivity far more often than any test environment admits.
Architecture that tolerates the siteValidate with a new subcontractor, not a superuser
Site tools are tested with someone who arrived that week, since a system only a long-serving engineer can operate will be bypassed the moment they move projects.
Tested with the people who turn overShip between milestones, with a rollback rehearsed
Changes to controls and site systems land in the gaps between reporting cycles, behind a staged rollout, so a bad release never coincides with a monthly valuation.
A release the programme can absorb
03Services for contractors and infrastructure operators, with the information standards behind each
Find the construction service you came for, and the standard it must satisfy.
A contractor or operator searches for a named system: project controls, a site app, a digital handover. This ledger sets each beside the deliverable behind it, the information standards it has to satisfy, and the practice that owns the work. The four standards underneath govern how project and asset information is structured, exchanged and handed over.

|---|---|---|---|
| Project controls system | Programme, cost, change and risk held in one system, integrated with estimating and ERP | Primavera P6 and MS Project XML, NEC4 and JCT change workflows, SAP or Oracle ERP APIs | Custom Software Development |
| Site operations and inspection app | Offline-first field application capturing daily logs, inspections, permits and plant movements at the point of work | ISO 45001 permit-to-work records, offline sync with conflict resolution, GPS and photo capture, WCAG 2.2 | Mobile App Development |
| BIM and common data environment integration | Model, drawing and document data connected to controls and site systems through a governed CDE | ISO 19650, IFC (ISO 16739), BCF, Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore APIs | System Integration |
| Digital handover and asset data platform | One governed asset record built from commissioning, as-built and maintenance data the operator inherits | COBie, ISO 19650-3, Uniclass 2015, IFC, CMMS integration such as IBM Maximo | Data Engineering |
| Construction document processing | Extraction of quantities, RFIs and compliance evidence from drawings, contracts and site documents, with evaluation on record | OCR pipelines, LLM extraction with human review, ISO 19650 naming conventions | Intelligent Document Processing |
| Schedule risk and defect detection | Models flagging programme slippage and defects from site imagery, evaluated before any signal reaches the site team | Primavera P6 exports, site camera and drone imagery, MLflow evaluation runs | Computer Vision Development |
ISO 19650
The international standard for managing information across a built asset's life cycle. It sets the naming, status and exchange rules every controls and handover system here is built to follow.
IFC (ISO 16739)
Industry Foundation Classes, the open BIM exchange format. Reading IFC directly means model data reaches controls and asset systems without depending on a single authoring tool.
COBie
Construction Operations Building Information Exchange defines the spreadsheet-shaped handover an operator's maintenance system expects. The asset data model is designed to produce it, not reconstruct it.
Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud
The common data environments many contractors already run. Integration connects them to custom controls and site tools rather than asking a project team to move platforms mid-programme.
04Evidence and proof
Programmes and sites that kept their record.
Construction proof has to hold up in a monthly valuation and at handover, not in a demo. These previews show the standard while the two cleared projects are written up for client approval.
Explore case studies
Project controls consolidated without stopping a live programme.
A contractor ran programme, cost and change across disconnected spreadsheets on a multi-site infrastructure programme. A custom controls system, integrated with the existing ERP, gave the commercial team one version of every milestone within a single reporting cycle.
- Sites reporting into one system
- Every site, one cycle
- Programme interrupted
- Never
A site application that kept its record through a signal-free basement.
A civil-engineering operator needed inspections and daily logs captured on site rather than typed up that evening. An offline-first field application queued every entry locally and synchronised it without a single lost inspection across the programme.
- Inspections captured on site
- All, point of work
- Records lost to connectivity
- None
They built for the week a new subcontractor turns up, not for the engineer who has been here ten years.

05Four doors into construction engineering
Enter through the practice that fits the problem.
Construction work usually starts at one of four doors. Build the controls system the commercial team is missing, put a field application in the hands of site teams, make the asset data trustworthy, or apply AI where the evidence supports it. Every door runs through the same field-first delivery discipline and the same proof standard.
- Custom Software Development
Build the project-controls system
Programme, cost, change and risk in one custom system, integrated with the estimating and ERP tools already in place.
- Mobile App Development
Put the record in the field
Site-operations and inspection applications that capture the record at the point of work, offline first.
- Data & Analytics
Make the asset data trustworthy
Commissioning, as-built and maintenance records engineered into one governed asset platform the operator inherits cleanly.
- AI & Automation
Apply AI to schedule and documents
Schedule-risk signals, defect detection and document processing built with evaluation evidence before any claim ships.
06Straight answers
Asked before a construction technology budget is set.
01Do you build project-controls software for contractors?
Yes, custom systems that hold programme, cost, change and risk together and integrate with the estimating, ERP and scheduling tools already in use. Replacing those tools is rarely the answer; keeping them in agreement usually is.
02Can site teams use your applications without a signal?
That is the design starting point. Field applications queue every entry locally, synchronise when connectivity returns and resolve conflicts deliberately, because a basement or a rural site loses signal far more often than an office test allows for.
03Do you handle digital handover and asset data?
Yes, including commissioning records, as-built information and the maintenance history an operator inherits. The data model is designed from what the operator and regulator will ask for at handover, so records are produced by the work rather than reconstructed afterwards.
04How is this different from property or PropTech software?
This practice serves contractors, civil-engineering firms and infrastructure operators: the people who build and run the asset. Property owners, PropTech vendors and property-management platforms are served by the Real Estate practice, which engineers for a different buyer and a different operating reality.
05Can you integrate with our ERP and estimating tools?
Regularly. Estimating, ERP, scheduling and document-control systems are connected through documented interfaces, each tested against the quirks the real system has, so the controls system reflects what those tools actually hold.
06Do you work with subcontractor turnover in mind?
Deliberately. Site tools are validated with someone who joined that week rather than a long-serving superuser. A system only one engineer can operate is bypassed the moment that engineer moves to another project.
07How is construction software work priced?
Against the integration and field surface uncovered during scoping, not a flat industry rate. A controls integration and an offline-first site application carry different engineering risk, so the estimate follows the actual work rather than an average.
08Do you build AI for construction programmes?
Where the data supports it. Schedule-risk signals, defect detection from site imagery and document processing are built with evaluation evidence before any recommendation reaches a site or commercial team. We say plainly when the data is not there yet.
