FAQ

Construction software costs

Construction scope

What does custom construction software cost?

Digital site documentation often starts around EUR 20,000 excl. VAT; project controls, offline apps and BIM increase scope.

Which users must construction software support?

Site managers, contractors, planners and clients need distinct permissions and project-specific views.

When is an offline mobile app essential?

Offline capability protects photos, defects and daily logs on sites with unreliable mobile coverage.

BIM and rollout

How can BIM data be integrated?

Models, versions and issue references are linked through suitable formats and viewers with clear ownership.

What does a digital site diary add?

It structures weather, labour, progress, photos and approvals into auditable daily records.

Where is the software developed?

Groenewold IT delivers Made in Germany from Leer, East Frisia, with direct feedback from site teams.

Typical pricing models (overview)

Comparison: typical pricing models for software and IT projects
ModelWhen it fitsBudget & flexibilityTypical risks
Fixed price (fixed scope)Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery.Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order.Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs.
Time & MaterialDiscovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration.Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates.Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter.
Retainer / maintenance packageOngoing operations, updates, small features, and support.Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost.Large changes may still need a separate estimate.
Hybrid (milestone + T&M)MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate.Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis.Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work.

Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
