Construction site management software can be a difference maker for any Tier 3 contractor. It enables greater efficiency, a more productive workforce and huge time and money savings.
But the reality is that it can also look like a significant financial burden with a large cost up front. Many products in the sector require a substantial outlay which many smaller contractors might not be able to afford – especially in the current construction market.
Generating a profit in construction is harder than ever thanks to:
…and much more. Research from Construction News shows that pre-tax profits for the top 100 construction firms in the UK fell by 35% in 2024.[1] For smaller contractors, it can be even harder to make ends meet, and the market can make it vital to look after every penny.
With that economic context in the background, it can be hard to invest even further in construction site management software, even when you know it could save you money in the long run.
The price of construction site software can vary, but the most widely used products on the market can be expensive. In some cases, you might have to commit to spending thousands of pounds a month.
For a Tier 3 contractor, that means the numbers might not add up. If you’re spending six figures a year on software, the efficiency savings and productivity gains would need to be significant to turn that into a profitable investment. You might also have to pay for licenses per project in some cases, adding even more to the cost and having two other adverse effects:
For a Tier 1, that cost might be negligible and get lost in the overall balance sheet. The scale of operations also means that a large contractor can get greater benefits and savings. However, for a Tier 3 or Tier 4, the benefits might be fewer and the costs more significant as a percentage of overall profits.
