Construction ERP Software

Construction ERP software runs the whole business on one data model: estimating, scheduling, cost control, procurement, document control, site records and finance read and write the same project records instead of living in separate tools. That is what keeps the commercial position live rather than reconciled after the fact. In Archdesk that one data model spans more than 30 modules, from the first estimate to closeout.

Generic ERPs are built around products, stock and repeatable processes. Construction runs on projects: every job has its own budget, program, supply chain and payment cycle. A construction ERP is built around the project record, with cost codes, pay applications, change orders, retainage and subcontractor workflows as first-class features rather than customizations.

Archdesk runs the operational and commercial side: budgets, commitments, pay applications and invoicing. It integrates with accounting systems including Xero (as a certified partner), Sage and QuickBooks, so finance keeps its ledger while the project data flows without re-keying. The full roster of supported ledgers, and how each connection works, is on the accounting integrations page.

Yes. A no-code configuration engine lets you shape workflows, approvals, fields and automations to your operating model without custom development, so the system follows your process rather than the other way round.

Because every module writes to the same records, reporting is live: budget versus actual, CVR (cost value reconciliation), CPI and SPI, work in progress and custom KPIs, at project and portfolio level, without exporting spreadsheets from five systems first.

Pricing is quote-based: pay per user, or choose an unlimited-users package priced on annual construction volume. Every quote includes all modules, unlimited data, implementation and support, and external collaborators such as subcontractors, clients and consultants are free of charge.

In US practice, subcontractor payment usually turns on an exchange of lien waivers alongside the pay application and retainage cycle: a conditional waiver before the money moves, an unconditional waiver once payment has cleared. An ERP built around the project record keeps documents, approvals and payment records together, so the paper trail sits with the numbers.
