Releases, features, advice, and case studies in Project management.
Three new project monitoring applets: overdue stages, stages with repeatedly rescheduled dates, and projects with no activity. The project list has also gained filtering by contract date.
Good organization on a construction site does not start with another Excel spreadsheet. It starts with making sure that the right information reaches the right person at the right time. Managing one construction project is relatively easy to control. With several projects running simultaneously, the number of employees, materials, equipment, documents, and decisions that need [...]
During Contractors.es implementations, I often hear company owners say: “I want my employees to use the app, but I’m worried they’ll see it as a way of controlling them.” And it’s actually easy to understand why. If someone [...]
The foreman is closest to what is happening on the construction site. With the mobile app, they can record working hours, report work progress and issues, submit material requests, and share other important information directly with the system.

Well-managed construction projects earn more because problems are identified earlier – before they start generating real [...]
In construction company management, a phenomenon is becoming increasingly visible that was less noticeable just a few years ago.
