Construction ERP Software in Pakistan
Ezitech builds construction ERP for contractors, builders and developers in Pakistan: one system for projects and sites, BOQ, subcontractor bills, materials and payments, tied to your accounts. It is built around the way your company already runs its jobs, and it starts with a free consultation and a written quote.
This page is about the system and how we build it. If you want our guide to what site teams use every day and how to judge any vendor’s demo, read construction project management software: features. For ERP in general, start with ERP software in Pakistan.
- Cost per project and per site, against the BOQ, while the job is still running.
- Subcontractor and supplier balances that match what accounts actually paid.
- Material traced from the purchase order to the site that used it.
Why does a construction company need its own ERP?
Because a trading ERP thinks in items and invoices, and a construction company thinks in projects, BOQ items, measured quantities and running bills. Retention, mobilisation advances, subcontractor deductions and certified versus submitted bills do not exist in a shop’s software, so contractors who use one end up keeping the real numbers in Excel next to it.
Cash is the other reason. A contractor pays for cement, steel and labour this week and gets paid on a certified bill weeks or months later. An ERP that shows each project’s billed, certified, received and retained amounts next to its payables tells you which job is funding which, before the bank does.
What we build into a construction ERP
Every company gets the modules its work needs. These are the ones contractors ask for most:
Every job is a cost centre
Each project with its sites, blocks or phases, a budget per head, and budget against actual for material, labour, subcontract and overheads.
BOQ as the budget
Load the BOQ from Excel with quantities and rates. Executed quantities are compared with the BOQ, and variations are recorded against the item they change.
Running bills from measured work
Interim bills built from measured quantities at BOQ rates, with retention, advance recovery and deductions, and a record of what was submitted and what the client certified.
Work orders and their bills
Work orders with agreed rates, subcontractor bills against measured work, retention, advances and tax deductions, and one ledger per subcontractor across all your projects.
From requisition to the slab
Site requisitions, purchase orders, receipt at the site store, issue to an activity, transfers between sites and wastage on record, so material cost lands on the right project.
Gangs, trades and machines
Daily labour by trade and gang, including subcontractor labour, and plant and machinery moving between sites with its hire or running cost.
Every rupee against a project
Supplier and subcontractor payments by cash, cheque or bank, a project-wise ledger, and a chart of accounts with trial balance and balance sheet for head office.
The chain you already use
Site engineer records, project manager verifies, head office approves the payment. We build the approval steps and limits your company actually follows.
Plots, units and instalments
For builders who also sell: unit or plot inventory, bookings, instalment plans, dealer commission and reminders, the way we built it for Nest City.
Bring one running bill to a free consultation
Send us a sample BOQ, one running bill and the list of your current sites on WhatsApp. We show you how they would sit in the system and what we would build first.
From tender to final bill: how the system follows a project
- Tender and award. The estimate and BOQ are loaded. When the contract is awarded, the BOQ becomes the project’s budget.
- Mobilisation. The client’s mobilisation advance is recorded and set to be recovered from later bills.
- Procurement. Sites raise requisitions, head office issues purchase orders, and material is received at the site store against them.
- Execution. Labour, material issues and subcontractor work orders are recorded against the project and the activity.
- Measurement and billing. Measured quantities at BOQ rates make the running bill, less retention, advance recovery and tax deductions. The certified amount becomes a receivable.
- Subcontractor bills. The same logic in reverse: measured work, retention and deductions, then payment.
- Close-out. The final bill, retention released after the defects period, and a project profit and loss you can trust.
Two ways to start
Start on our ready ERP
Our ready cloud ERP has a construction setup with full double-entry accounting. Each site is set up as a location, so purchases, stock, transfers between sites and supplier ledgers work from day one, with a staff salary ledger and an assets register for your vehicles with document expiry dates. BOQ, running bills, retention and subcontractor billing are not in the ready ERP; they are added as custom work when you need them.
A full construction ERP built for you
We map how your company tenders, bills, buys and pays, then build the modules above in phases, starting with the one that costs you most today. You see working screens at every phase, and the scope, timeline and cost are written down before work starts.
Tax on construction work in Pakistan
Construction services are taxed by the provinces, through PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and BRA in Balochistan, and payments to suppliers and subcontractors carry income tax withholding. Rates and rules change with each budget, so we build the tax rules your tax adviser gives us and show them on bills, payments and ledgers.
If FBR digital invoicing applies to your company, the connection goes through an FBR-licensed integrator or PRAL, as FBR’s FAQ explains (fbr.gov.pk). Read our FBR digital invoicing guide and we scope it as part of your project.
What about sites with no signal?
Basements and remote sites often have no internet. In a custom build, the site app can be made to record deliveries, issues and labour offline and sync when the phone reconnects. This is part of the custom project and is quoted in writing; our ready cloud ERP needs internet.
Systems our team has built
We have not published a contractor case study yet. These are the systems closest to construction work:
- Nest City housing society ERP: plot bookings, instalment plans, ledgers, dealers and SMS or WhatsApp reminders, with a client app connected to the society ERP.
- CDA One Window: tracking for building plans, NOCs and maps, with web and mobile apps for residents.
- SSS security guard ERP: HR, deployment, attendance, payroll and bank payments for 8,000+ guards across 12 offices, the same problem as a large workforce spread over many sites.
Start with Ezitech in three steps
- Free consultation. Send a sample BOQ, one running bill and your list of sites. On a WhatsApp or Google Meet call we go through how your bills, payments and material move today.
- Written scope and quote. We write down the modules, phases, timeline and cost, as a one-time package or a monthly plan, before anything is built.
- Build, train, go live. We build in phases with a demo at each step, load your projects and opening balances, train your site and office staff in Urdu or English, and stay on WhatsApp after go-live.

Why construction companies choose Ezitech
Built around your running bills
We start from the bills your quantity surveyor and accountant already make, not from a generic template you have to bend your company to.
You own the code
On a custom build, the source code and the database are handed over to you on final payment, as written in the contract.
Value from the first phase
Your team uses the first module while the next is being built, so the business keeps running during the rollout.
A team that has done this before
Ezitech is a Pakistani software house, founded in 2015, registered with the Pakistan Software Export Board, with a team of about 30.
Construction ERP: questions contractors ask
What is construction ERP software?
It is one system that runs a construction company’s projects and its accounts together: BOQ and budgets, running bills to clients, subcontractor bills, materials by site, labour, payments and the ledgers behind them, so each project’s real cost and cash position is visible while it runs.
How much does construction ERP cost in Pakistan?
It depends on the modules, the number of sites and users, and how much of your process is custom. After a free consultation we send a written quote, as a one-time package or a monthly plan. Our ERP price guide explains what moves the quote.
Can it handle running bills, retention and mobilisation advances?
Yes, in a custom build. Running bills are made from measured quantities at BOQ rates, with retention held, advances recovered and deductions applied, and both submitted and certified amounts are kept.
Can we track each subcontractor across several projects?
Yes. Each subcontractor has work orders per project and one ledger across all projects, showing billed work, retention held, advances, deductions and payments.
Does it work on sites without internet?
A custom site app can be built to record entries offline and sync later, quoted in writing. Our ready cloud ERP needs internet.
Can a small contractor start without a full custom build?
Yes. Start on our ready ERP with each site as a location, for purchases, stock, supplier ledgers and double-entry accounts, and add BOQ and running bills as custom work later.
Is it FBR integrated?
No software is FBR integrated on its own. Digital invoicing connects through an FBR-licensed integrator or PRAL. If it applies to your company, we scope it as part of the project.
