Construction ERP and real estate software that keeps projects, sites and customers on one page

Construction and real estate run on long projects, many parties and money that moves in stages. AutoProbaho builds project cost, site management and approval systems for contractors, and sales, installment and customer portal systems for developers — replacing the Excel budgets, WhatsApp site updates and paper vouchers that stop scaling after a few projects.

Budgets in Excel, sites on WhatsApp, installments in a ledger

A contractor typically tracks each project in its own spreadsheet: BOQ, budget, purchases, subcontractor bills and site expenses. Materials are requested by phone from site engineers, approved by whoever is reachable, and reconciled at the end from vouchers. Progress is a daily photo in a chat group. Head office learns a project is over budget when the final bills arrive.

Developers face the mirror image on the sales side: leads from Facebook and brokers land in phones, unit availability is a shared sheet, booking money and installments are tracked in a ledger, and customers call to ask about payment status or handover dates. With several projects running in parallel, management has no consolidated view of cost, cash or commitments.

Who this is for

  • Civil, MEP and interior contractors running multiple sites
  • Real estate developers selling apartments, plots and commercial units
  • Infrastructure and industrial construction firms with subcontractor networks
  • Property management companies handling tenants, maintenance and service charges

Current pain points

  • Project cost known only at the end

    Committed and actual cost against BOQ is assembled from vouchers and bills after the fact.

  • Site material requests are untraceable

    Requests, approvals and deliveries travel by phone; nobody can see what is pending or where materials went.

  • Subcontractor bills are disputed

    Work done, retention, advances and deductions are reconciled by hand at each running bill.

  • Sales and installments are opaque

    Unit status, booking money, due installments and customer communication live in sheets and phones.

  • Approvals depend on availability

    Purchase, payment and variation approvals wait for a signature or a reply in chat.
