Configuration & Customisation

Your construction business. Your CRM. Configured your way.

ConstructionCRM ships with a construction data model already built in. But no two businesses work identically. Every field, dropdown, pipeline stage, and module can be configured to match the exact language and workflow of your team.

Two ways to configure

Do it yourself, or let our team build it for you.

Most configuration in ConstructionCRM requires no developer and no support request. Your administrators handle it directly. For anything more bespoke, our team will work with you to build exactly what your business needs.

No developer needed

Administrator Configuration

The Field Manager, App Manager, User Manager, Dashboard Designer, and Workflow Manager are all point-and-click tools built for non-technical administrators. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can configure ConstructionCRM.

  • Rename any field or label across any module instantly
  • Add custom fields to any entity without touching the database
  • Set fields as required, read-only, or hidden per user group
  • Control exactly which modules and fields appear in the mobile app
  • Build List Manager queries and schedule automated email alerts
For bespoke requirements

Built by Our Team

When your requirements go beyond what administrators can configure, our team steps in. We have built bespoke modules, conditional validation logic, automated workflows, custom quote templates, and integrations with ERP systems, SharePoint, Barbour ABI, and marketing platforms for construction businesses across the UK, North America, and UAE.

  • Custom field sets, tab layouts, and conditional display logic
  • Quote templates designed for specific clients or project types
  • Automated workflows triggered by project status, dates, or data changes
  • New entity types linked to your existing projects and accounts
  • Integrations with your ERP, email marketing, and data suppliers
What can be configured

Almost every part of the system adapts to your business.

01 / FIELD MANAGER

Rename, add, and control every field in the system

The Field Manager exposes the complete database schema as an editable interface. Rename any label, add custom fields to any entity, make fields mandatory at a specific pipeline stage, and control visibility per user group - all without code. Changes take effect instantly across the entire UI including the mobile app.

All entities: see Pipeline
02 / DROPDOWN LISTS

All dropdown lists are fully yours to define

Every dropdown across the system, including pipeline stages, company types, project sectors, action classes, and opportunity types, can be fully customised. The pipeline stage set uses a lettered prefix system to ensure correct sort order across all list views and reports, regardless of how you label each stage.

Pipeline stages, sectors, company types, action classes
03 / CONDITIONAL FIELD LOGIC

Show only the fields relevant to what the user is doing

Field visibility can be made conditional on another field's value, configured through the Field Manager without code. Selecting "Sub Contractor" as the company type can reveal Construction Line, insurance, and specialisation fields that are hidden for every other type. Project sector can trigger entirely different field sets.

Company type, project sector, and more trigger conditional field sets
04 / USER AND ROLE CONFIGURATION

Control what each person sees and can change

The User Manager organises accounts in a hierarchical tree by User Group. Each record has granular access control over modules, records, and actions, plus a Quotation Approval Role tab for multi-step quote workflows. Vehicles are modelled as user accounts so they appear in the Dispatch Board alongside people.

Module access, approval roles, subscriptions: see Accounts
05 / MOBILE APP CONFIGURATION

A separate, simplified interface for teams in the field

The App Manager controls exactly what each mobile user sees on iPhone or Android, independently from the desktop. A three-level configuration lets you choose which modules appear, which tabs are visible, and which fields show within each tab, giving field reps a clean, fast interface while back-office users retain the full experience.

Module, tab, and field set independently configurable: see Mobile App
06 / WORKFLOW MANAGER

Automate field updates and email alerts without writing code

The Workflow Manager fires automated actions based on events in the CRM. Create and Update triggers work across all core entities. A "Only apply if the field has changed" checkbox prevents repeated firing. Actions include Database Update and Email Alert, both fully configurable without a developer.

Create and Update triggers across all entities: see Workflows
07 / LIST MANAGER AND SCHEDULED ALERTS

Build dynamic cross-entity queries and automate recurring reports

The List Manager lets you build InfoSearch lists: live, dynamic queries using a visual relational criteria builder with full access to the data model including related entities. Any saved list can have a Schedule Alert set to deliver email reports daily, weekly, or monthly to any list of recipients.

Cross-entity relational queries and scheduled email reports
08 / DASHBOARD DESIGNER

Build BI dashboards from live CRM data, no external tool needed

The Dashboard Designer is a full embedded BI authoring tool. Drag and drop from 14 visualisation types: bar, line, KPI cards, gauges, treemaps, choropleth maps by UK region, and geo point maps. Define calculated fields, set date range filters across all panels, and publish to all users instantly on save.

14 visualisation types, calculated fields, geo maps: see Dashboards
09 / QUOTATION TEMPLATES

Every client gets a quote document built to their expectations

Multiple quotation templates can be stored and selected at the point of issue. The same quote data renders through a standard house-style template for routine quotes, and a fully bespoke client-branded layout for key accounts. Templates include product line items, scope of work text, and branded cover pages.

Client-specific templates at point of issue: see Quoting
10 / GENERIC ENTITY AND CUSTOM MODULES

Add entirely new record types without a database change

The Generic Entity is a flexible record type linkable to any combination of Company, Contact, Project, Opportunity, and Quotation records. By assigning an Entity Type ID it becomes a specific custom record: a Certification, Risk Assessment, Sample Request, or a Phase sub-entity beneath a Project with its own status and purchase order tab.

New record types linked to any existing entity, no schema change
11 / PRICE LIST AND PRODUCT CATALOGUE

Multiple named price lists and maximum discount rules per product

Multiple named price lists run simultaneously: a standard rate card, client-specific agreements, and time-limited promotional rates. Each product carries a cost price, unit list price, and a Max Discount field to prevent unauthorised margin erosion. Composite products allow complex service packages to be quoted as single line items.

Account-level pricing, max discount rules, composite products
12 / GDPR AND COMPLIANCE CONFIGURATION

GDPR compliance is built into the data model, not bolted on afterwards

Three dedicated GDPR entities exist as first-class data model components: PII management for subject access requests, Record Consent with date, method, and scope per contact, and a Rights to Be Forgotten workflow with a full audit trail. Every major record type has an Auditing tab logging every field change and access.

PII management, consent records, erasure workflow: see GDPR

Everything above is configurable without a system integrator, without a developer, and without changing the underlying database, so your system stays aligned with your business as it evolves.

Built for your business

Our team has built this kind of configuration for construction businesses like yours.

When your requirements go beyond what administrators can configure in the Field Manager, our team works directly with you to build what you need. Here is the kind of work we regularly deliver.

Bespoke configuration we have delivered

Every construction business has its own data structure, its own language, and its own workflows. The examples below are drawn from real builds for businesses across the UK and represent the range of what is possible when self-managed configuration is not quite enough.

1
Field renaming and interface restructuring
Rename any label across the entire platform to match your terminology. Reorder tabs, move fields, and hide sections that are not relevant to your workflows.
2
Custom validation and conditional logic
Require fields only when certain conditions are met. Trigger warnings when key data is missing. Show or hide entire field sets based on project type, sector, or company classification.
3
Automated email workflows
Build email alerts that fire when a project reaches a specific stage, when a date threshold approaches, or when a record is created or updated. Personalised with live data from the record.
4
Custom quote templates
Build branded quote documents for specific clients or project types, pulling live product, project, and commercial data. Multiple templates selectable at point of issue.
5
New modules and entity types
Add entirely new record types linked to your existing projects, companies, and opportunities. Phases, certifications, sample requests, risk assessments and more have all been built for clients.
Example configuration
A selection of bespoke items delivered for a specialist materials supplier
  • Rename the "Specified" field to "Specifier" across all modules
  • Validation warning when saving a Project record with no Specifier company linked
  • Prompt when multiple products are selected: "Mark any of these as alternatives?"
  • Automated email when a project start date is 12 weeks away, personalised with project title and specifier company name
  • Auto-populate Project Title from site address on record creation
  • Filter products by product group in List Manager
  • Visual enforcement of mandatory fields with red highlighting
  • Quote template updated to include client-specific project fields
  • Fields removed, renamed, hidden, and reordered across Companies and Projects tabs
The Field Manager in depth

One interface controls how every field behaves for every user in every division.

Opening any field in the Field Manager reveals a five-tab dialog. Each tab adds a different layer of control without any code.

Overview tab

The Description field is the only element that changes what users see. Renaming "Company Name" to "Account Name" here updates the label everywhere instantly: list views, record dialogs, reports, and the mobile app. The underlying database column is shown read-only for developer reference.

Instant label changes across the entire application

System Properties tab

Controls global field behaviour including searchability and system-wide required status. Setting a field as required here means no user on any platform (desktop, web, or mobile) can save a record without it populated. The blunt instrument for enforcing data quality across the whole organisation.

Global required status and searchability

Business Unit Properties tab

Controls field behaviour per division. A field can be required in the Commercial division but optional in Infrastructure, or visible to one business unit and hidden from another, using a single field definition across the database while presenting a different experience to each team.

Required, optional, or hidden per division independently

User Properties tab

Controls field behaviour per user group. A "Contract Value" field can be visible and editable for a Sales Manager, read-only for a Sales Executive, and hidden entirely from a Field Operative, all from the same Edit Field dialog. Different defaults can be set per group so new records are pre-populated correctly.

Visibility, editability, and defaults per user group
Configuration in practice

How construction businesses have configured ConstructionCRM to work for them

★★★★★
"We manufacture doors and needed to track units per project: total doors, doors outstanding, doors complete, and warehouse status. Our Project Information tab was updated to match exactly, alongside renaming half the interface to match how we talk internally. The system now speaks our language, not generic CRM language."
MD
Managing Director
Door Manufacturer, UK
★★★★★
"We run three divisions. Each one sees different fields on the same project record. Finance sees credit and margin fields completely hidden from field sales. The User Properties tab in the Field Manager handles all of it with no code and no separate deployments."
OD
Operations Director
Multi-Division Contractor, Midlands
★★★★★
"We asked for an automated email to fire when a project start date hits 12 weeks out, personalised with the project name and specifier company, and logged automatically against the project record. It was exactly what we needed and has already saved us from two mobilisation issues."
