Odoo 18 brings cost and timeline control to every construction project
Apex Construction is a fast-growing civil engineering company handling roads, villas, and commercial projects. Their multi-site operations require close coordination with subcontractors, detailed cost tracking, and on-time delivery. All while managing labor, materials, and deadlines simultaneously across various locations.
To streamline project management, we implemented Odoo 18 with modules like Timesheets, Project, Purchase, and Accounting. The solution improved real-time visibility, budget forecasting, and vendor coordination. It helped Apex bring timelines and costs under control while boosting profit margins and overall operational efficiency.
“Odoo brings hospitality into the digital age, centralizing bookings, services, and staff coordination to deliver seamless, personalized guest experiences while maximizing operational efficiency.”
-Fabien Pinckaers, Founder & CEO, Odoo

Client's problem statement
Apex Construction relied on manual tools like spreadsheets and paper logs to manage large-scale projects. This caused scattered data, unclear timelines, and poor labor tracking which led to delays, scheduling conflicts, and reduced accountability across multiple teams and project stages.
Financial data was siloed, delaying reports and hiding cost overruns. Coordination gaps between departments made it hard to react to problems in real time. To resolve these inefficiencies and centralize control, Apex Construction turned to Odoo’s integrated project management system.


The challenges
- Manual hour tracking made site accountability nearly impossible
- Scattered data led to delays, overspending, and poor visibility
- Quotation approvals were delayed by emails and manual steps
- Siloed teams caused slow updates and poor coordination
- Unclear expense tracking hurts project-level profitability analysis

The solutions
- Real-time labor logs improved task tracking and cost accuracy
- Central dashboard unified tasks, budgets, and profitability
- Digital signing sped up quotation approvals and storage
- One platform aligned departments with shared task updates
- Tagged project costs improved budget tracking and accuracy
Odoo Timesheets allowed site teams to log hours daily, syncing real-time data with project costing. This eliminated manual errors and improved visibility into workforce effort, helping control labor budgets effectively.


With Odoo’s centralized project dashboard, Apex Construction gained live insights into progress, timelines, and budgets, enabling informed decision-making, faster collaboration, and better control over multi-phase construction projects.
