Construction Project Management Software for UK Contractors

When the programme moves, the money moves with it.

Plan the work, track progress on site, and watch cost move with it. Variations, valuations and cashflow live against the programme, and drawings, site records and approvals sit on the same project record, so "on programme" covers the commercial position too, not just the Gantt chart.

Trusted by construction companies of every size, worldwide

Run the whole job: programme, site records, documents and the commercial position

Construction project management software for UK contractors has to hold four things together: the programme, the record of what happened on site, the documents the job is built from, and the commercial position. Archdesk runs them as one dataset. Gantt charts and the Global Scheduler plan the work and the crews, site diaries and progress records build the daily picture, drawings carry version control and revision tracking, and variations, valuations and cashflow sit on the same project records, so the monthly CVR (cost value reconciliation) reads from the job as it stands, not as it was last reconciled.

One programme for people and plant

Gantt charts hold tasks, deadlines and dependencies, while the Global Scheduler plans crews and plant across every live project and flags booking conflicts as they happen.

Documents that match what was built

Drawings carry version control and a full revision history alongside site photos and approvals, in one repository the whole team works from, with BIM and CAD integration.

Overruns caught while they are cheap

Budget against actual runs on every cost line as work progresses, with variations and valuations on the same records, so overruns surface while there is still time to act and the CVR reads from live numbers.

Tender to handover, one workflow

Project workflows carry every job through the same lifecycle stages, from tender to handover, bringing the right people in at the right time without waiting on a forwarded email.

"On programme" includes the commercial position

Progress, variations, valuations and cashflow run as one dataset against the programme, so when something slips you see what it costs, and when scope changes you see what it does to the programme and the CVR alike.

Construction Gantts

Plan every phase on a Gantt chart the whole team can actually see. Tasks, deadlines and dependencies live in one view, updated as work happens, not at the Friday catch-up.

Map task dependencies and spot knock-on delays

Progress tracked against the plan in real time

Live programme shared with every stakeholder

Two-way sync with MS Project and Primavera P6

Global Scheduling

One resource pool across every live project. See who and what is available at a glance, resolve conflicts before they hit site, and reassign in minutes when priorities change.

People and equipment planned in one place

Booking conflicts flagged as they happen

Reallocate crews when priorities change

Availability visible across every project

Construction Documentation

Every drawing, photo and approval in one repository with a full revision history. The site works from the current version, and you can prove what was issued and when.

One repository for drawings, photos and records

Version control and revision tracking

Automated approval workflows

Works with BIM and CAD files

Real-time Construction Reports

Reports build themselves from live project data. Daily site progress, cost position and executive summaries come from the same numbers, so there is nothing to reconcile.

Daily progress reports, generated automatically

Report templates for each stakeholder audience

Site diary, activity and photo records in one place

Workforce and equipment usage tracked

Project Workflows

Run every project through the same proven lifecycle, from bid to handover. Each stage brings in the right people automatically, so nothing waits on a forwarded email.

The right people involved at the right stage

One consistent process across project types

Progress visible at every stage of the lifecycle

Repeat what worked on the last project

Project Financial Dashboards

Budget against actual on every cost line, updated as work progresses. Overruns show up while there is still time to act, and can be blocked before they land in the final account.

Cost overruns blocked automatically

Decisions made on live numbers

Frequently Asked Questions: Construction Project Management

What is construction project management software?

Construction project management software connects the programme, the money, the documents and the reporting in one system, because tracking tasks alone leaves the real project scattered across spreadsheets and email. Archdesk runs delivery, cost, documents and reporting as one dataset, so "on track" means the money too, not just the Gantt chart.

How does Archdesk keep the programme and the costs in step?

Progress, variations, valuations and cash flow run as one dataset against the programme. When something slips you see what it costs, and when scope changes you see what it does to the timeline, while financial dashboards track budget against actual on every cost line and can block overruns before they land in the final account.

Can Archdesk plan crews and equipment across multiple projects?

Yes. The Global Scheduler runs one resource pool across every live project, so availability is visible at a glance, booking conflicts are flagged as they happen, and crews can be reassigned in minutes when priorities change.

How does Archdesk handle construction documents?

Every drawing, photo and approval sits in one repository with version control and revision tracking, so the site works from the current version and you can prove what was issued and when. Automated approval workflows keep sign-off moving, and the repository works with BIM and CAD files.

How does project reporting work in Archdesk?

Reports build themselves from live project data. Daily site progress, cost position and executive summaries come from the same numbers, so there is nothing to reconcile, and templates tailor the output for each stakeholder audience.

Does Archdesk keep the programme and the commercial position in step?

Yes. Variations, valuations and cashflow live on the same project records as the programme, so slippage shows its cost and scope changes show their knock-on effect. The monthly CVR (cost value reconciliation) is produced from those live records at project and portfolio level, rather than assembled at month end.

Can site records and documents live in the same system as the programme?

Yes. Site diaries, progress records and photos sit on the same project record as the drawings, which carry version control and full revision tracking. The site works from the current issue, and daily progress reporting builds from the same records, so there is one version of the job.

How is retention handled on a project?

Retention is tracked per subcontract alongside the rest of the commercial record, so balances and release timing stay visible next to the valuations and cashflow for the job, on live work and on jobs sitting in the defects period alike.

Does Archdesk work with the accounting systems UK contractors already run?

Yes. Archdesk is a certified Xero partner and integrates with Sage, so project records and the ledger stay in step without re-keying, and applications for payment run in the platform against the same records the reports read from.

Questions during delivery stay on the project too: construction RFIs are raised, tracked and answered on the record.
