Construction & Engineering
Control over projects, planning and materials is everything in construction and engineering, but it quickly erodes when information is spread across ERPs, Excel and inboxes. The result: rising costs and an office version of the truth that doesn't match what's happening on site. We build applications that connect your processes.
Challenges in Construction & Engineering
An average construction or engineering company relies on all kinds of separate systems: an ERP for finance and project administration, planning software, calculations in Excel, document management, and sometimes a BIM model. Handy at first, but it creates isolated islands. You feel that daily:
- The same data gets entered twice and reports contradict each other.
- Errors from outdated or scattered data translate directly into unnecessary costs and rework.
- You steer after the fact, based on last month, instead of adjusting while the project is running.
- Regulation such as the Dutch Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) demands demonstrable, structured record-keeping.
- Skilled workers are scarce, so every hour spent on admin is one hour too many.
The challenge, therefore, isn't 'more software', but control: connected processes and applications that make the work more predictable.
What we do for Construction & Engineering
We build digital solutions that bring your project information together and support the work in the field. This way your organisation shifts from explaining afterwards to adjusting course beforehand:
Custom applications
Applications that fit your processes, from quality assurance on site to workflows connecting reports, purchasing and planning. We build them fast on OutSystems, or fully AI-first if your challenge calls for more of that.
Connecting systems
With an integration platform like Alumio we connect ERP, planning and other systems, so data flows smoothly and your landscape becomes clear.
Modernising legacy
We replace outdated, hard-to-manage systems with modern solutions that actually keep pace, as we did for a technical integration landscape.
Demonstrability and quality
Solutions that make record-keeping structured and traceable, in line with the requirements of the Wkb.
Management and further development
After go-live we stay on board with monitoring and support, so your solution runs reliably every day.
Case: Croonwolter&dros
Croonwolter&dros replaced fragmented Excel calculations for building installation maintenance with one central application on OutSystems. Complex maintenance calculations are now standardised in a scalable platform. That gives teams more control over quotes, leads to fewer errors, and better oversight of ongoing calculations.

FAQ
Where do I start as a construction or engineering company with digitisation?
With one concrete bottleneck, for example unnecessary costs, duplicate entry or an outdated system. We solve that first and build out from there, so you see results quickly.
Can you help with the requirements of the Wkb?
Yes. We build solutions that make record-keeping structured and traceable, so you meet the demonstrability that the Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) requires.
Do your solutions also work on the construction site?
Yes. We build applications that work in the field, including on mobile, so skilled workers capture quality or reports directly on site instead of doing it back at the office afterwards. That saves exactly the hour of admin you're now losing from scarce skilled workers.
