What to look for in construction software in Pakistan
Construction software in Pakistan has to fit how sites here actually run: labour paid by the day, often through a labour head or thekedar; material bought from local suppliers; owners who approve from their phone; and WhatsApp as the way everyone talks.
Many construction tools are built around salaried crews, desktop users and email. Before you choose construction software for a Pakistani company, check it against these points.
A checklist for Pakistani builders and contractors
- Daily-wage labour by name or by labour head, with each day's share worked out
- Thekedar contracts with their advance and retention
- Supplier rates collected by link, with no account for the supplier
- Orders, site reports, statements and reminders sent on WhatsApp
- Works on the phones your site staff already carry
- A July to June financial year
- A free way to start, so you can try it on one site
Aaghaz360 does each of these in every package.
How most Pakistani sites are run today
None of this is careless. It is how sites have always run. But every step lives with one person, so the owner has to call to find out.
- 1Attendance in a hajri register, wages worked out on Saturday from memory.
- 2Material ordered on a voice note, from the one supplier someone trusts.
- 3Rates taken from one call, never compared with a second supplier.
- 4Cement and steel counted at the gate by whoever happens to be there, if anyone.
- 5Thekedar advances given in cash and settled at the end, with arguments.
- 6The owner calling every site each evening to ask what happened today.
Built for the way Pakistani sites work
Daily-wage labour and labour heads
Masons, helpers and steel fixers on a day wage and an extra-hour rate, by name or in a labour head's group. The share of each day is worked out for the wage sheet.
Thekedars on contract
A contract per project with its value, advance, retention and who supplies material. Pay all, part or an advance, and every payment is approved first.
Bank or mobile wallet on file
Keep a contractor's bank account or mobile wallet (JazzCash, Easypaisa) on file. Owners are told about every account change.
WhatsApp where your team already is
Purchase orders, quotations, the day's site report, client statements and payment reminders go out on WhatsApp.
A house template you'll recognise
Excavation, foundation to plinth, grey structure, finishing and handover. A scheme of houses can be one project with a unit per house.
July to June by default
The company's financial year runs July to June unless you change it, so profit so far this year lines up with your accounts.

Every site's progress and money, from one screen
Most Pakistani builders run more than one site at once: a house in one society, a plaza in another, a scheme at the edge of the city. As construction management software in Pakistan, Aaghaz360 puts all of them on the owner's home: each running project with its phase and how much is built, late or over budget first, next to cash in hand and in the bank, what clients owe and what is due to suppliers, thekedars and labour.
Progress is measured against the plan, not guessed on the phone. The site team records how far each phase has got, and the project shows % built against what the plan says by today, and the date it will finish at its current pace. A 10 marla house that is 30% built when the plan says 35% shows it before the client asks.
Many houses here are built for families working abroad. If you share a project with the client, they see its progress and site photos for that project only, and their payment stages can follow the phases. Aaghaz360 shows what your team records; it doesn't inspect or certify the work.
- Progress against the plan →% built per phase against % planned by today, and a forecast finish date from the last 30 days' pace.
- The whole company on one screen →Every running site, cash, what you are owed and what you owe, and the approvals waiting for you.
- Approvals by amount →The project manager approves smaller demands; larger ones wait for the owner, recorded with a name and a time.
- Cash, cheque or bank transfer →Each payment to a supplier or thekedar is recorded with how it was paid, the cheque number and proof, against the right project.
- Supplier credit on a ledger →What each supplier is owed after bills and payments, on its own ledger instead of an account book.
- Payment stages for the client →Stages, advances, retention and statements, so a client abroad pays against the work done.
One construction management system, eight modules
Every module writes to the same record, so a demand on site, the order, the delivery, the wage sheet and the bill all land on the same project and phase. See how the construction software works.
- Construction project management →Templates, phases, a timeline and documents per project.
- Daily site report app →Labour, material used, machines and photos, every evening.
- Construction procurement →Demand, approval, supplier rates, order, delivery and bill.
- Construction inventory →A store per site: issue, transfer and count stock.
- Labour attendance and wages →Daily-wage workers, labour heads and thekedars.
- Construction cost tracking →Spend against each phase's budget, and committed orders.
- Construction billing →Payment stages, advances, retention and statements.
- Construction quotations →Price at your margin and convert the quote to a project.

Comparing construction software in Pakistan: what the first year costs
The first question most Pakistani builders ask is what they will pay in year one, all in. Setup fees, user limits and dollar prices change the answer more than the monthly headline does. Here is the same builder priced on five options, at the prices on each vendor's own page.
Sample builder: 3 sites running at once and 8 people who need a login (the owner, a project manager, an accountant, a storekeeper and four site engineers or supervisors). Each row uses the lowest plan that fits.
| Product and plan | How it is priced | Setup fee | First year | Free plan or trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart ConstructionGrowth (Starter allows 5 users) | Monthly fee plus a one-off setup fee; Growth allows 10 projects and 12 users | Rs 199,000 | Rs 361,000 (Rs 15,000 a month billed annually with 10% off, plus setup) | No free trial found; demo |
| CM PROPro Builder (Starter allows 3 users) | Yearly plan priced in US dollars, billed in rupees for Pakistani companies; Pro Builder allows 10 projects and 10 users | None | $194.40 on a 12-month plan, charged in rupees at CM PRO's rate | 7-day free trial |
| Fieldwire (international, per user)Pro | Per user per month in US dollars, billed annually | None | $3,744 (8 users × $39 × 12 months) | Free Basic plan for 5 users and 3 projects |
| Procore (international)Quote | Annual fee by product and annual construction volume; unlimited users | Not published | Quote only | None stated |
| Aaghaz360 (this site)Starter (up to 5 running projects) | Flat yearly price in rupees by running projects; unlimited users | None | Rs 24,000 with the launch offer for a first paid year starting by 31 December 2026 (Rs 40,000 list) | Free package: 1 running project, every module, no time limit |
These tools don't do the same jobs, so compare what each plan includes as well as the price. Ask every vendor for the first-year total in rupees, including setup, for your own number of sites and people.

What is the best construction software in Pakistan?
There isn't one best tool for every builder. Compare the first-year cost in rupees including any setup fee, the limits on users and projects, whether it keeps thekedar and supplier ledgers and pays daily-wage crews from attendance, whether your site team can use it on a phone, and whether you can try it on a real site first. The table on this page compares five options on first-year cost.

See Pakistan pricing →Does it handle daily-wage labour and thekedars?

Does it work with WhatsApp?

Do suppliers need an account?
No. They quote through a private link and receive orders by WhatsApp or email.
Do I need a computer on site?
No. Aaghaz360 installs on a phone like an app, and the daily log is built for a phone screen.
Can I track progress on several sites at once?
Yes. The owner's home lists every running site with its phase and how much is built, late or over budget first. Starter runs up to 5 projects at once, Business up to 15 and Unlimited any number.
Can my client abroad follow the work?
Yes, if you share the project with them. They see its progress and site photos for that project only.
Is Aaghaz360 a construction ERP?
It covers the operational side of a construction company: projects, purchasing, site stores, labour, job costing and client billing. It is not full accounting software, so the company's books stay with your accountant.
Is it accounting or FBR tax software?
No. Aaghaz360 records project costs, supplier and client balances and payments, and exports reports and bank statements to CSV. Tax returns and FBR filing stay with your accountant.
Can you set up our company for us?
Yes. The Aaghaz360 team can create your company's workspace and email the owner a link to choose a password.
