Construction Project Management & Planning Software
Bouwflow is construction project management software that connects the site, your planning and your admin: from quote to progress invoice, in the office and on site.
What is project management in construction?
Project management in construction means planning, tracking and adjusting a building project from quote to handover. It comes down to four questions: who does what, when is it scheduled, what does it cost and is everything still on budget? In practice that answer is often scattered across Excel, WhatsApp and loose folders, so you only notice an overrun at the final settlement.
That's why contractors use construction project management software: one platform that brings planning, progress, hours and admin together, so the office and the site work from the same data and you can step in early.
What is Bouwflow?
Bouwflow is the all-in-one platform for contractors. In one environment you combine project management and planning, quotes, time tracking and purchasing, while your teams work on site with the OnSitePro mobile app. You replace scattered spreadsheets and tools with a single system where all your project data comes together. More than a thousand construction professionals already use Bouwflow to run their projects faster and with more oversight.
Features
A glimpse of what's inside project management & scheduling
Projects
Projects
Quotes, scheduling, work orders and invoices all hang off the same project. You run your site from one record.
Project stages
Drag your sites across a Kanban board, from prospect to handover. You decide which stages you use.
Project types
Set which tasks and folders come as standard for each kind of job. On a new project the structure is already there.
Tasks
A task gets an owner, a due date and a priority. The task board brings together the tasks from all your projects.
Files
Keep drawings, photos and documents per project, per customer or for the whole company. Work order photos get their own folder.
Correspondence
Forward an email to your project inbox and it attaches straight away. All the communication on a site stays together.
Scheduling
Site scheduling
Schedule staff, crews and subcontractors on a site. Whatever you schedule becomes a work order in the OnSitePro app.
Work backlog
Work orders without a date wait in the sidebar. You drag them onto the calendar when it suits.
Crews
Put a crew together and schedule it as one block, not one person at a time.
Equipment scheduling
Vehicles and machines get scheduled alongside the right person. That way two crews don't expect the same crane.
Absences
Mark holidays and sick days in the schedule. Anyone who isn't there can't be booked in.
Calendar sync
Your schedule carries over to your Outlook calendar or Google Calendar.
Follow-up
Time tracking
The hours your crew logs in OnSitePro land on the project. From there you invoice them or feed them into your post-calculation.
Contracts
Upload a pdf and have your customer, supplier or subcontractor sign it digitally. The signed copy stays with the project.
Handover sheets
The customer signs off the handover, in full or with reservations. If there are snags, you note a reason and a date to come back to it.
Project analysis
Income, spend and gross margin per site, without waiting for the final account.
How does project management work in Bouwflow?
Every project is the central place where quotes, planning, work orders and invoices come together. You run your whole site from one project file.
- See all your sites in one overview and tell at a glance which one is on track and which needs your attention.
- Schedule your people, crews and subcontractors, and send the job straight to the site through the OnSitePro app.
- Let your teams log their hours on site, so your invoicing and post-calculation add up automatically.
- Invoice as the site progresses with progress states, including extra work and price revisions.
- Keep all of a project's documents and communication together, so you never have to dig for anything later.
- What you schedule syncs with your Outlook calendar or Google Calendar, so you have it at hand outside Bouwflow too.
