Construction management software for PEB contractors

From steel to standing structure, tracked.

A PEB job lives or dies on two things: steel and schedule. Tonnage has to be accounted for from fabrication through erection, drawings keep changing, and the client releases money against milestones, not effort. When material, progress and drawings sit in different places, erection slips and a milestone you have actually hit goes unbilled.

PEB ContractorsHow a project runs on buildcontrol
1
Drawings and BOQ are loaded
Approved drawings and steel quantities sit where the site team works.
2
Steel is tracked by tonnage
Received, fabricated and erected quantities logged against the structure.
3
Erection progress is recorded
Bays, columns and sheeting done are captured with photos, day by day.
4
Milestones bill on evidence
When a stage is complete, the proof is already there to raise the claim.
The problem

What actually goes wrong

These are the four things that come up in almost every conversation with a PEB contractors team.

Steel tonnage goes unaccountedWhat was received, fabricated and erected sits in separate sheets, so shortages and offcuts surface too late to fix cheaply.
Erection progress is fuzzyHow many bays or columns are actually up is a site-visit question, not a number, so schedules slip quietly.
Drawing revisions get missedThe latest GA or shop drawing does not always reach the erection crew, and the rework eats the margin.
Milestone billing lags the workA stage is complete on site but the claim waits on someone to assemble the proof, so cash comes in late.
Modules that matter most

Start with these four

buildcontrol has eleven modules, but you do not need all of them on day one. For your kind of work, these carry the weight.

Task Management

Approved drawings, erection stages and priorities in one place, so the latest revision reaches the crew that needs it.

Explore module

Material Management

Steel by tonnage — received, fabricated and erected — so shortages and offcuts are visible, not a month-end surprise.

Explore module

Daily Worksheet

Bays, columns and sheeting done, photographed and dated — the record your milestone claim stands on.

Explore module

Payment Management

Milestone claims, client receipts and fabricator payments tracked against each project.

Add later, once the first four are running
  • Quality Control for welding & bolting inspections
  • Attendance Management for erection labour
  • Equipment if you own or hire cranes
Probably not for you: CRM is built for selling units to buyers, so most PEB contractors leave it switched off.
How it runs

One day, end to end

1

Drawings and BOQ are loaded

Approved drawings and steel quantities reach the site team.

2

Steel is tracked by tonnage

Received, fabricated and erected quantities logged against the structure.

3

Erection is logged daily

Bays, columns and sheeting done, captured with photos.

4

Quality is checked at each stage

Welding and bolting inspections recorded before sign-off.

5

Milestones bill on proof

Completed stages are claimed with the evidence already in place.

Who uses it

Every role, one system

Access is controlled by role, so people see what they need and nothing else.

Owner / DirectorProject cost, steel consumption and milestone receivables
Project ManagerErection progress, drawing status and fabricator performance
Site EngineerDaily progress, material issue and quality checks
Site SupervisorAttendance, erection day sheet and photos
AccountsMilestone bills, fabricator dues and client receipts
Questions

Questions we get from PEB contractors

Yes. Material is tracked by quantity and weight — received, fabricated and erected — against each structure, so consumption and offcuts are clear.
Yes. You can log fabrication progress and site erection progress distinctly, each against the same drawings and BOQ.
Each milestone is backed by the dated, photographed progress record, so the claim is assembled from evidence that is already captured.
No. Entries are captured on the mobile app and sync when the phone gets a connection, so a remote site delays the upload, not the record.
