The Global Construction Management Software Market size is expected to reach $16.6 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 9.8% CAGR during the forecast period.
Construction management software is a project management platform that assists organizations with processes like communication, budget management, job scheduling, and decision-making. Its objective is to make construction processes easier through automation. It is a project management tool designed mainly for construction professionals.
This kind of software offers a range of benefits to construction industry members, easing up the processes that were earlier done manually. Companies are known to have a lot of benefits from utilizing construction management software. Construction management software aids in project scheduling and planning in the construction industry.
This is done by sequencing operations of the construction project and enabling effective usage of the schedules made through a work breakdown structure. The features and functions of construction software management include specifying a project's target and plans, including delineation of scope, scheduling, budgeting, setting performance requirements, and selecting project participants.
The construction management software assists in monitoring the cost-control system to get an estimated project profit and to monitor the predicted results. Construction project management software gives features to manage construction projects starting from their inception by enabling components that monitor numerous project stages, including procurement of contract methods, design service & contractors, and management of the construction contract process.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 has forced governments of various nations to impose lockdowns to stop the spread of the disease, significantly affecting the construction management software market. With the government restriction, construction work was halted, further affecting the market growth in the short run. COVID-19 caused a slight degeneration in the market development because of the termination of the functions of several construction places. However, due to the pandemic, numerous construction companies started to take virtual tours of the spaces for construction. This aided the stakeholders and investors in the construction sector to have a good view of the project for their interest which favored the growth of the construction management software market.
Market Growth Factors
The requirement to enhance the construction productivity
The pandemic caused a considerable number of routine activities and businesses to shift their operations online and made it challenging to work on a building site. The construction industry is collaborative and requires quality and manufacturing control and proper understanding between the various stakeholders engaged in the project. A construction project generally contains various components, including vendors, architects, contractors, engineers, and the workforce. For many years, tablets, drawings, and graphs were utilized to record the information exchange between the involved parties. These factors are expected to boost the construction management software market's growth.
The rising adoption of cloud-based solutions
The oil and gas industry are observing a prominent surge in demand for cloud-based construction management software. This is due to the fact that these software assists in raising visibility and transparency in brownfield, onshore, and shale-based construction activities. The software is also beneficial in tracking the development of oil & gas units and tracking oil & gas activities in deepwater. Hence, the constant increase in the adoption of cloud-based solutions especially in the oil & gas industry is expected to drive the growth of the construction management software market in the projected period.
Market Restraining Factors
High cost and hampered adoption due to pandemic
This factor would be a barrier to the adoption of construction management software. Furthermore, construction software is known to be complex to handle and manage, discouraging numerous organizations from adopting this software. Furthermore, the pandemic has impacted the construction and infrastructure sectors and offered a more comprehensive range of challenges to the industry. There is also uncertainty about recovery from the pandemic, which has caused a decrease in investment in this technology. The high cost and hardship faced during the software are anticipated to hamper its adoption, thereby restricting the market growth.

Also, the rising focus on sustainable development is increasing the preference for green commercial buildings among occupiers and developers both. Hence, the wider utilization of construction-based software and the increasing commercial buildings sector will drive the segment's growth.
End User Outlook
Based on the end user, the construction management software market is bifurcated into architects & designers, construction managers and others. The construction manager segment acquired a remarkable growth rate in the construction management software market in 2021. This is because this software integrates costing, enterprise, and project accounting for live analysis and effective project management. Web-based enterprise management system gives industry-aligned information to construction companies. Construction managers utilize this software to drive efficiency in construction projects through close coordination of the numerous stakeholders involved in the project. Thereby, these characteristics are anticipated to boost the segment's expansion.
Application Outlook
By application, the construction management software market is classified into project management & scheduling, safety & reporting, project design, field service management, cost accounting and others. The project management & scheduling segment generated the highest revenue share in the construction management software market in 2021. This is due to the increasing requirement to control and manage project activities like allocating resources, tracking project progress, and reducing time delays. Such solutions allow the organization to gain momentum and traction to meet the project objectives within the given time frame. Hence, these features will drive market growth.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the construction management software market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America region held the highest revenue share in the construction management software market in 2021.
