When one trade slips, everything slips. Except your overview.
A construction schedule with critical path and fixed dates, site meetings with series memory, budget on every construction section and reports for the client - one data foundation from award to acceptance.

Sound familiar from your sites?
Four patterns that make construction projects more expensive - long before the first change order arrives.
The construction schedule lives in a spreadsheet
Maintained on Sundays, printed on the site-office wall - and nobody knows exactly which delay really hits the handover date.
One trade slips, all trades slip
The steelwork delay reaches roof and fit-out as a surprise. Without a critical path there is no view of where the float is - and where there is none.
Site meetings without memory
Minutes as Word attachments, open items in mail threads: what was agreed in week 12, nobody pieces together in week 20.
The client asks, the numbers are missing
Budget status per section, change orders, schedule delta: every inquiry triggers a scavenger hunt across folders, inboxes and spreadsheets.
A construction project in WORKSPACE.PM - from award to acceptance
Follow the sample project “Werkhalle Nord” through five phases - and see which module carries the work at each station.
The award becomes a load-bearing structure
Instead of starting from a blank sheet, site management inserts building blocks from the library: construction sections with work packages, milestones and budget frames. The project team stands in the roster with roles - from structural engineer to subcontractor.
Structure construction projects from building blocksBuilding block: construction section
8 work packages · milestone · budget frame
- Section 1 - shell
- Section 2 - fit-out
Trades sequence themselves via dependencies
Shell before roof, roof before fit-out: the critical path computes itself, the handover sits in the plan as a fixed-date anchor - and before groundbreaking the baseline is locked in.

Handover Dec 15 - fixed-date anchorThe site meeting gets a memory
The weekly round runs as a meeting series with live minutes: highlighted lines become tasks with owner and due date. Open items and decisions roll up across the whole series - nothing stays open “since week 12” unnoticed.
Run site meetings with series memory- Site meeting week 31 - 6 items done
- Site meeting week 32 - today
Delay is computed, not debated
Steelwork reports a supply delay: captured as a risk, countermeasure on the board, schedule delta proven against the baseline. The monthly report pre-fills and gets approved - the values are frozen when the client asks.
Report site status with ratings and approvalPlan and actual stand on every section
Crews book hours on work packages; personnel costs accrue automatically from assignment and hourly rate. Per section, plan and actual sit side by side - the fit-out deviation surfaces while there is still time to steer.
Analyze hours and budget per section- Shell - plan €420k · actual €396k
- MEP - plan €180k · actual €191k
In between, the other modules take over: sampling decisions with approval status, change requests for change orders, utilization of crews and equipment - and metrics that consolidate across all construction projects.
Your toolbox for construction projects
Six modules that carry daily site work - each card leads to the detail page.
Classically sequenced, flexible in the detail
The construction flow follows fixed phases and dates - coordination in between may stay flexible.
Where most construction projects work
In the container concept every level carries its own way of working: construction sections run classically with phases, fixed dates and critical path, while design coordination and punch lists are organized as boards. Structure, budget and reports stay one unit throughout.
Every construction project is special - your portfolio reports uniformly
Approved status reports, ratings and metrics consolidate automatically across all construction projects. Management and clients compare projects at a glance - without site management building slides.
No extra burden for the site
The most common objections from construction teams - and what WORKSPACE.PM answers them with.
The AI makes the first move
The contract documents as a PDF become a project profile, the profile becomes a structure with milestones, plus suggestions for risks and countermeasures. Your team reviews and adjusts - instead of starting with an empty project.
Foremen work in their task view
Whoever works through tasks sees board, checklist and due dates - not the whole PM cockpit. Subcontractors and specialist designers stand in the project team with role and reporting line, even without their own account.
The client gets their report
Status reports pre-fill, get approved and are frozen. Export the project profile as a PDF - or generate the report from your own Word template, up to date with budget, status and risks.
Frequent questions from construction companies
Answers to the most important objections before you start.
Yes - as a freely definable project structure: phases, work packages, milestones and quality gates, each level with toggleable features such as costs, risks or Kanban. Save recurring sections as building blocks and insert them in the next project.
No - and we don't claim it does. Bills of quantities, tendering and models stay in your specialist systems. WORKSPACE.PM runs the project: dates, budget, risks, meetings, decisions and reports; the REST API lets you connect data.
The schedule computes critical path and float corridors automatically; you rehearse shifts in planning mode before they become binding. The baseline comparison proves every schedule delta - including towards the client.
Yes, as change requests: with category, impact dimensions, approver and approval status, optionally linked to the triggering risk. It deliberately does not replace price and BoQ updating as in tendering software.
Approved status reports with schedule, cost and performance ratings, the project profile as a PDF and, if you wish, reports from your own Word template - up to date from the same data your team maintains anyway.
