Software / Template for Construction Schedule & Cost Control

But that also means you all did it yourselves and didn't use any template from the internet?

I strongly advise against ready-made software. They can do way too much and what you really want is missing, or you don’t know how to do it with them. Instead, you waste time learning some nonsense.

I use the following system:
- Excel lists for finances, invoices, cost overview
- Digital calendar for all appointments
- Digital address book with contacts
- Scan of all documents as PDF
- Clipboards sorted by topics with todos and other documents needed on the construction site.

I synchronize calendar, contacts, and documents via Nextcloud on all devices, so I always have everything ready on the go, at home, at work, and especially on any PC via the cloud. The proper entry of contacts, documents, etc., is time-consuming and takes some getting used to at first, but it’s worth it. This way I am fully operational at home, on the go, on the construction site, and especially at work.

(Unfortunately, even the best system is no use if the craftsmen just don’t call back or if you have to wait x weeks for a quote.)
