Custom Software for Construction Management

Custom software for construction management firms, from tracking the financials of many projects at once to keeping every project and client record in one place.

Construction managers juggle budgets, schedules, and documents for many projects at once, and the numbers have to be right on every one of them. When project financials live in separate spreadsheets or a database nobody can maintain, it gets hard to see where each job really stands.

J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients, including commercial and residential construction companies. We build the way good construction firms work: we start with a detailed blueprint of the system, called our Architectural Framework, before any construction begins.

What construction firms ask us to solve

  • Many projects, one view of the money. Heery International needed to accurately track the financials of multiple projects running at the same time.
  • Project and client data in too many places. GE Reaves Engineering wanted all project and client information in one place.
  • Systems that understand the business. Software built by people who learn how a construction manager thinks, not just how to write code.
  • A technical partner for the long haul. Retail Construction Associates has relied on our support and technical capabilities since 2020.

CBRE Heery

We focus on the 'building blocks' of each industry, especially with construction management firms, and we've partnered with several commercial and residential construction companies over our decades in business.

We've found success here because of a stark parallel between how construction firms work and how we build software: we start with a detailed Architectural Framework — a blueprint of the custom system created after thorough requirements meetings — and we're careful, diligent, attentive, and precise.

For CBRE Heery, an international construction and engineering firm, we built a complex financial tracking system that streamlined their project management capabilities.

“The team at J Street Technology was challenged to deliver a product that would accurately track the financials of multiple projects running simultaneously. Not only did they deliver a high quality product, but also the team was able to transform their way of thinking into the minds of a construction manager. They are comprised of true professionals who took the time to understand our business and practices, and in the end created an outstanding system.”

What we build for construction firms

  • Project financial tracking. Systems that track the financials of many simultaneous projects accurately, like the one we built for Heery.
  • Project and client databases. One place for every project and client record, including enhancements to existing Access databases like GE Reaves Engineering's.
  • Web applications for the field and the office. Responsive web applications that work on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
  • Reporting. Clear project reports and Power BI dashboards.
  • Ongoing support. A long-term technical partner, the role we've played for Retail Construction Associates since 2020.

How much does custom construction management software cost?

It depends on scope. As a rough guide, small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.
