Construction software is designed for handling the processes of a building project with an emphasis on the financial requirements involved. In this way, many packages available on the market deal primarily with the estimating aspects of a constructing job, as software enables a contractor to ascertain the finer details of costing a job as well as providing a handy record of the often wide range of varied costs. Software can serve a strong purpose here, as it lends focus to finer details and any costs shaved off lead to greater profits at the valuation stage.

Other tasks are handled by construction software: project management, payroll and tax processes of sub-contractors, timesheets, valuation, reporting and analysis.
