WebSoftOSConstruction ERP software for Indian contractors
WebSoftOS Construction ERP is a cloud ERP for contractors and builders in India that connects BOQ, RA billing, project budgets, site material, labour and accounts in one system, so every bill and every bag of cement is tracked against a project and its margin. It is built on the open-source ERPNext platform with GST accounting included, and plans start at ₹999 per month.
Who it is for
- Civil, infrastructure and building contractors running 2–50 projects at a time
- EPC and turnkey companies that bill clients through RA bills and pay subcontractors the same way
- Builders and developers who need project-wise budgets and cost-to-complete
- Companies moving off Tally + Excel where the BOQ, bills and site data never match
Problems it solves
- BOQ quantities, revisions and variation orders live in different Excel files, so nobody knows the current contract value.
- RA bills are prepared by hand and checked against measurement books that are not linked to the BOQ.
- Site material is issued without reconciliation against theoretical consumption, so wastage and theft go unnoticed.
- Project profit is only known after the project closes — too late to fix anything.

Pricing
Construction ERP runs on the same WebSoftOS platform plans: a free trial, Standard at ₹999/month and Enterprise at ₹1,999/month. Each plan is a fully hosted ERP site with daily backups, HTTPS and your own domain. See pricing for current inclusions.
Implementation
A typical single-company construction rollout takes 2–4 weeks: we set up your companies, cost codes and approval roles, import open projects with their BOQs and the opening balances from Tally or Excel, and train your billing engineer, site store keeper and accounts team in separate sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best ERP for construction companies in India?
The best fit is one that links BOQ, RA billing, site material and accounts so project margin is visible while work is still going on — and handles GST. WebSoftOS Construction ERP does this on a cloud ERPNext base; larger EPC firms with SAP budgets may still choose SAP, and very small contractors may manage with Tally plus Excel.
Can it prepare RA bills directly from the BOQ?
Yes. Client RA bills pull BOQ items, previous billed quantities and the current measurement, then calculate the bill value, retention and deductions. Subcontractor RA bills work the same way against the subcontract BOQ.
Does it track BOQ revisions and variation orders?
Yes. Every BOQ revision is stored with its line items, and variation orders and change requests are linked to the project so the revised contract value is always current.
Can we track material wastage on site?
Material reconciliation compares material issued to site against theoretical consumption from measured work, so you can see wastage by item and by project.
Can we migrate from Tally?
Yes. Ledgers, opening balances, items and parties are imported from Tally or Excel during onboarding. See Tally alternative.
