Construction

Project overruns, miscommunication, and compliance gaps are costing construction firms millions.

Construction projects fail to meet budget or schedule far more often than they should — driven by fragmented communication between field and office, manual document management, and reactive rather than proactive risk management. As projects grow in complexity and regulatory requirements multiply, the cost of poor information management compounds. Kiloctet builds construction software that connects project teams, automates compliance workflows, and gives managers the real-time visibility they need to catch problems before they become costly.

What we build

Construction software solutions we provide

01

Project Management and Scheduling Platform

A centralized project management hub where site managers, project engineers, and office teams coordinate tasks, track progress against schedule, manage RFIs and submittals, and share documents from a single platform. Gantt chart views and critical path analysis help managers identify schedule risks early and model the impact of delays before communicating with clients. Integration with cost tracking modules gives project managers a combined schedule-and-cost view that traditional project management tools separate.

02

Construction Document and Drawing Management System

A version-controlled document repository for construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and correspondence that eliminates the risk of teams working from outdated documents. Drawings are published with revision control, ensuring everyone on site accesses the current approved version from their mobile device. Transmittal logs, document distribution records, and automated notifications create the audit trail needed for dispute resolution and project closeout.

03

Site Safety and Compliance Management Platform

Digitizes safety inspection checklists, incident reporting, near-miss recording, hazard identification, toolbox talk logs, and permit-to-work workflows for field teams on mobile devices. Safety managers get a dashboard view of site compliance rates, outstanding corrective actions, and subcontractor safety performance across all active projects. Automated reminders ensure inspections are completed on schedule and overdue items are escalated to the appropriate manager.

04

Subcontractor and Procurement Management System

Manages the full subcontractor lifecycle from tender invitation and bid comparison through contract award, purchase order management, delivery tracking, and payment certification. Material delivery schedules are linked to construction programs so procurement managers can anticipate potential supply chain impacts on site progress. Document requirement tracking ensures subcontractors submit all required insurance certificates, method statements, and compliance documents before work commences.

05

BIM Integration and Digital Twin Platform

Connects your Building Information Modeling (BIM) data to live project management, issue tracking, and field inspection workflows so that the model is a living source of truth rather than a static design deliverable. Field teams can raise issues directly against model elements using mobile apps, and design coordination clashes are tracked and resolved within the platform. Post-construction, the same platform can be handed to the owner as a facility management digital twin.

Why bespoke

Benefits of building bespoke solutions

01

Fewer Costly Rework Events

Construction rework — caused by clashes between trades, incorrect drawings being used on site, or miscommunication between design and construction teams — is one of the largest drivers of budget overruns. Digital document control that ensures everyone works from the latest approved drawings, combined with BIM clash detection, eliminates the majority of rework-generating information failures. Projects with mature document management practices consistently report lower rework rates.

02

Reduced Safety Incidents and Regulatory Exposure

Digitizing safety workflows increases the frequency and quality of safety inspections by removing the friction of paper forms and making it easier for supervisors to complete inspections on their phones at the point of work. Automated escalation of overdue safety actions and permit-to-work controls prevent high-risk activities from proceeding without proper authorization. Better safety records also reduce insurance premiums and protect the business from regulatory penalties.

03

Improved Cash Flow Through Faster Payment Processing

Construction payment cycles are notoriously slow, often because payment applications and supporting documentation are submitted late or are incomplete. Digitizing the payment certification process — with automatic compilation of supporting evidence, approval workflows, and submission tracking — accelerates the cycle from measurement to payment. Subcontractors also benefit from faster certified payment, improving site relationships and reducing the risk of disputes.

04

Real-Time Cost and Schedule Visibility

Giving project managers a combined view of actual progress, costs incurred, and forecast-to-complete allows them to identify budget and schedule problems weeks earlier than traditional reporting processes would permit. Early identification of overruns enables corrective action — scope negotiation, resource reallocation, subcontract renegotiation — before problems become unrecoverable. Management teams also make better resource allocation decisions across the portfolio when they can see project performance in real time.

05

Faster, More Competitive Tendering

Estimating and tendering teams that have access to well-organized historical cost data from past projects can price new work more accurately and competitively. Digital tender management platforms also reduce the administrative effort involved in managing subcontractor queries, issuing addenda, and comparing bids. Faster, more accurate tendering directly contributes to winning more contracts at healthier margins.

Common questions

FAQ

Yes. Mobile-first offline capability is a standard design requirement for all construction site apps we build. Field personnel can complete inspection checklists, log labor time, capture photo evidence, raise issues, and record material deliveries without an internet connection. All data is stored locally on the device and synchronized automatically when connectivity is restored. We design sync conflict resolution carefully so that simultaneous updates by multiple field users don't create data integrity problems when they sync back to the server.
Yes. Construction companies commonly use systems like Sage 300, Viewpoint Vista, Oracle Primavera, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics for financial management and project cost control. We build integration layers that sync project cost data, purchase orders, subcontractor certifications, and payroll information between your construction management platform and your finance system, eliminating dual entry and reconciliation effort. The integration approach — API, file export, or database — depends on what your ERP supports, which we assess during discovery.
We integrate with BIM authoring platforms (Autodesk Revit, Bentley MicroStation) and model viewing/coordination tools (Autodesk BIM 360, Navisworks) via their APIs and open data formats including IFC. Our platforms allow field teams to access model views on mobile devices, link site photos and issues to specific model elements, and track the resolution of design coordination clashes. We work with your BIM manager to define the data exchange requirements and ensure the integration supports your project's BIM execution plan.
Construction platforms typically process personal data for employees (timesheets, site access records, training certifications), subcontractor personnel (inductions, safety records), and occasionally for residents or neighboring communities (noise and disruption notifications). We design data retention policies appropriate to each data category, implement role-based access controls, and build consent management features where legally required. Data hosting location options are presented during scoping to ensure compliance with any cross-border transfer restrictions applicable to your operations.
The cost varies significantly based on scope. A focused module — say, a site safety inspection and corrective action management app — can be built in eight to twelve weeks at a cost appropriate for mid-sized contractors. A full project management platform covering documents, costs, scheduling, procurement, and safety across multiple projects is a more substantial investment with a longer timeline, typically delivered in phases. We scope construction software projects with a phased delivery plan so you get value at each stage rather than waiting for a complete system.
