Development of a Custom Construction Project Management and Time Tracking Platform

Construction companies face significant inefficiencies due to manual routines, extensive paperwork, billing delays, and difficulty in customizing reports based on materials, work types, vacations, overtime, and other parameters. Existing data systems are outdated, requiring transfer and validation, with multiple user roles necessitating granular access controls. Additionally, flexible billing based on company size and hours worked remains a pressing requirement.
