cost overruns

Construction cost control software that caught overspends before month end

Paper records hid overspends at this construction company until month end, so construction cost control software was the obvious next step. Odoo for projects and purchasing, with a simple mobile app for site managers to log materials and hours, cut cost overruns by 24%.

Illustrative example. Client details are anonymised and representative of the work we do.

The challenge

Where they started

Site purchases and labour were tracked on paper, so overspends only surfaced at month end.

The approach

What we changed

We implemented Odoo for projects and purchasing, with a simple mobile app for site managers to log materials and hours.

Lessons

What other businesses can take from this

Construction sites generate costs all day, in materials bought locally and hours worked by crews, and much of it is recorded on paper first. The paper reaches the office days or weeks later, so by the time anyone totals it the money is spent. Project managers learn about an overspend when it is too late to change anything.

What other contractors can take from this is that the software only works if site staff can feed it easily. A simple mobile app for logging materials and hours did more than any office report, because it captured costs where they happened. Budget visibility is now daily, paperwork fell 60%, and purchasing runs through the same system as the project budget.

It suits contractors running several sites at once, with purchasing decisions made on site.
