Construction Project Management System

Control construction projects, costs, labour, materials and site progress from tender to handover

Quick answer

What is the Construction Project Management System?

Zinen Technologies’ Construction Project Management System is an end-to-end platform for Kenyan building contractors, civil works companies, developers, quantity surveyors and project consultants. It connects estimating, BOQ, project planning, procurement, site stores, labour, plant, subcontractors, certificates, variations, quality and HSE in one project record.

The system is designed for real construction control: planned versus actual cost, weighted progress, committed cost, earned value, payment certificates, retention, advance recovery, daily site reports, material consumption and subcontractor performance can be traced back to the project and cost code.

It also provides a client portal, approvals and field reporting so project owners can see progress without requiring the project team to rebuild reports manually.
