• Complex BOQ

• Long execution life cycle of projects.

• Rescheduling of projects

• Continuous activity based invoicing

• Multiple storage locations.

• All projects executed at remote sites.

• Complex estimation of projects.

• Subcontracting process (with or without material).

• Allocation and re-allocation of capital resources like machinery.

• Proper scheduling of activities is of utmost importance, as sequence of activities should follow a particular path.

• Need for free flow of information amongst concerned persons.

• Need for collaboration between various internal and external parties like architects, engineers, clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and contractors.
