2. Construction Software Applications Overview

Construction software is available from many different software developers and is utilized by several different categories of construction related businesses. Contractors, architects, civil engineers, and real estate developers in DC can all benefit from the automation of business processes and procedures through the company-wide integration of a construction software application.

Typically, construction software applications are sold as software suites that consist of different modules to accommodate the various daily and periodical business requirements of the construction industry and construction related businesses around DC. These modules include applications that help track and control project management, accounts receivable and payable, job cost estimating, customer service, and human resources related activities and tasks. Construction software applications are also available as single module specialty applications. You can single out one of the modules in a construction software suite to accommodate the needs of contractors who operate as sole proprietors, or others involved in a particular facet of building design that may not need all the functionality bundled into a construction software suite.

Construction software is designed to accurately gather, store, and display business related information. It can incorporate specific information gathered between related modules in order to record and manage the various related tasks and details associated with construction, contractors, and building design.

3. The Construction Software Accounting Module

Contractors around DC have many job related expenditures that need to be tracked to ensure profitability and accuracy of payroll and payments made to sub-contractors that may be involved in a particular or several different jobs. There are several different construction software application packages that automate the accounting functions typical to the construction industry. Most of these will have the same fundamental and necessary features.

The fundamental components of the accounting module of a construction software suite, or a single accounting software application specific to contractors and those involved in business design, should include the functionality to manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, payroll, job costing, equipment management, and inventory.
The accounting module of a construction software application will permit the tracking of finances as they relate to the company as a whole and individual projects and components of a project. These transactions and their corresponding financial details are typically integrated into purchase orders and agreements made by contractors and construction firms.
Construction software should include an accounting module that meets the needs of both the construction company’s project managers and accountants. Construction software accounting applications or contractor software suites should have the ability to incorporate a single entry into all related files. In this way, all necessary information regarding the financial details of the company, as well as specific projects, will be available to all users, including accountants, project managers, and estimators.

4. Project Management

Contractors and those involved in building design and construction need the ability to track and manage the various components of complex projects accurately. The project management module of a construction software suite will enable all users to record, track, and manage the many details associated with scheduling, communications, and resource allocation.

Construction projects in DC typically involve a large number of both internal employees and subcontractors, and the project management module of a construction software suite will permit the ability to focus on the contributions of each individual to the progression of the project. A primary function required for successful project management includes the ability to assign components of a project to an internal employee, or a specific subcontractor company. It should also have the ability to indicate the specification related to the job and the timeframe in which an individual portion of the project or the entire project must be completed. In addition, the application will generally allow users to track the use of internal and external resources and document changes related to the costs, materials, or personnel associated with the project.
