Project Management Software for Construction

What this is not, and what it actually is

A construction firm runs two kinds of project at once, and they need almost nothing from each other. One is the build itself: crews, plant, sequencing, weather, a site engineer's log of what got poured today. The other is everything the head office does to keep the firm running: preparing a tender, onboarding a subcontractor, rolling a new time-and-attendance system out to five sites, coordinating a rebrand, hiring for a project office that's about to double.

ShipSprint is built for the second kind, not the first. It doesn't schedule labour or plant, it has no bill of quantities, no drawing markup, and it will not tell you how many cubic metres a crew poured on Tuesday. If that's the gap you're trying to close, this isn't your tool, and we'd rather say so now than after a trial.

What it does well is the coordination work that sits around the build: cross-functional projects with a long list of stakeholders, approval chains that cross departments, and documents that need to be findable six months after everyone's forgotten where they put them. That's most of what a construction PMO actually spends its week on, even though the software industry rarely builds anything for it specifically.

Where the actual bottleneck sits

Ask a construction PMO what slows a tender down and the honest answer is rarely the estimating. It's chasing five departments for sign-off, losing track of which subcontractor sent their compliance certificate and which one didn't, and finding out three weeks in that legal never actually looked at the draft. None of that needs site software. It needs a place where a request has an owner, a deadline, and a status that's visible without anyone remembering to send a follow-up email.

The same pattern shows up in the digital and corporate work: rolling an ERP module out to five regional offices, standardising safety documentation across sites, running vendor empanelment for a new project. These are ordinary knowledge-work projects that happen to carry a construction company's letterhead, and they get run on WhatsApp groups and shared drives mostly because nobody thought to give them a proper board.

Who ends up owning this inside a construction firm

In practice, four kinds of person open ShipSprint on a given morning at a mid-size contractor. The PMO lead is running the tender pipeline and needs to know which one is stuck in legal. The digital transformation lead is midway through an ERP or safety-system rollout across five sites and needs one board to see which site hasn't started. The HR head is running a hiring pipeline ahead of a project mobilising in six weeks. And the business development lead is coordinating the pitch deck, the case studies and the award submission for the same tender the PMO lead is tracking.

None of those four people needs the same thing from a tool that a site engineer does, and that's the point, this was never meant to sit on the site. It's meant to be the one place those four people, who rarely talk to each other day to day and who've usually never shared software before, can see the same tender, the same rollout and the same hiring pipeline without four separate status calls to work out where things actually stand.

Visibility for the project office, not surveillance of the site

There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking anywhere in ShipSprint, it measures work outcomes, not attention. That distinction matters more in construction than most industries, where "monitoring software" already has an uncomfortable reputation on the ground. This is office coordination software; it has an opinion on whether a task is done, not on how long someone looked at their screen while doing it.

Scorecards are adjusted for leave and visible to the person they describe, so nothing shows up as a surprise in a review. A tool the project office trusts gets filled in honestly, and honest data is the only kind a forecast can be built on.

The whole corporate side, one subscription

A mid-size contractor's head office usually runs HR (hiring for the next project surge), marketing (tender pitch decks, a rebrand, an award submission), IT (the ERP rollout, a new document system), and procurement (vendor and subcontractor coordination), often on four different tools that don't talk to each other, paid for separately, reported on separately. ShipSprint gives each of those teams its own templates and vocabulary on one subscription, so the person running the ERP project and the person running the hiring drive show up on the same owner command center without either having filed a separate purchase order to get there. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because in most firms getting a second department onto the same tool means a second procurement cycle, not a settings change.

Ask it directly

ShipSprint connects to Claude and ChatGPT, so a PMO lead can ask "what's overdue on the ERP rollout" or "which vendors haven't sent their compliance docs" in plain language, and get an answer, or create the follow-up task, without opening the tool at all. For a PMO lead who's already running half their week from an AI assistant anyway, that removes one more tab to keep checking.

What it costs

• Free covers up to 5 users and 2 projects, permanently, enough to run one tender or one rollout and see if it fits before committing further.
• Team is ₹299 per user per month, or ₹2,899 per user per year, for up to 40 users, the usual size of a mid-market contractor's head-office team.
• Business is ₹599 per user per month, or ₹6,499 per year, and adds delivery forecasts, scorecards and the owner command center.
• Billing is per seat in rupees with GST-compliant invoices; every paid plan starts with a 14-day full-access trial on Business, with a sample project preloaded and no card required.
