With MCA Stone
Ensure the smooth running of your work sites
With teams to coordinate, project costs to monitor, supplies to manage and deadlines and budgets to meet, site management requires rigorous monitoring by a construction company, whatever its trade (bricklayer, electrician, house painter, etc.).
A lack of clarity about the progress of work in progress is a source of confusion: teams not knowing when they are to intervene, a machine not being available on time, material running out, etc.
Problems that accumulate and end up causing delays in the work and exploding budgets. As a result, the customer’s trust and the company’s profitability are gradually eroded.
With MCA Stone, building management software, you can view all current site operations in real time in an ergonomic and collaborative platform. Data is grouped by project so that you have the information you need quickly (schedules, contacts, daily reports, invoices, allocated resources, etc.).
The workload is lightened, the progress of the work and the various costs are measurable and unforeseen events are quickly identified.

Key features
Management from tender to delivery
Monitoring of construction sites
In the schedule, you plan and schedule the activities of your construction sites. You allocate human and material resources (field staff, subcontractors, machines, etc.) to your various projects. Overhauls and maintenance work can also be programmed into the schedules.
The software offers a visual of the activities in progress allowing you to control their evolution and to quickly make adjustments in your building project if necessary, especially in case of possible delays.
To reinforce task tracking, automatic reminders alert you to the various deadlines associated with a current project. In addition, you keep track of the operations on the site thanks to the history of the work carried out.
Planning, hours entered, progress and incident reports, client contact details, invoices… all the elements of a project are grouped by file so that you have all the necessary information.
Mobile application
Your field teams and subcontractors have mobile access (smartphone or tablet) in order to consult the schedule or the work sheet, to enter hours, to write intervention or accident reports or to carry out any other operation related to the site.
In the event of an incident, your teams report the information via the mobile application. Photos and notes can be attached to the incident report.
As the information is centralised, you have real-time access to field information to ensure that the construction process runs smoothly.
The collaborative aspect of the building management software allows site information to be shared between the relevant people to better coordinate operations. Everyone can consult or modify the data according to their access rights.
Management of construction equipment
The geolocation system enables efficient management of the workforce on one or more current sites thanks to real-time monitoring of their positions via a dynamic virtual map accessible in the software.
You can easily locate construction equipment and vehicles to view ongoing activities and allocate idle resources to new operations.
You plan the maintenance of your machines according to the recorded hours of use and the kilometres driven.
To prevent equipment theft, alerts can be set up to notify you when your equipment and vehicles leave predefined perimeters.
Quotation and invoicing
You can easily create and edit your building estimates in the software, inserting services, materials, labour, etc. The management of the prices of these various elements within the software assists you in the costing of the site.
It is up to you to decide how you want to proceed : hourly rate, per square metre, fixed price, addition of any discount. The software integrates the management of VAT according to the applicable rates.
Estimates are transformed into invoices in one click, with a professional layout predefined by you. For the management of advance payments, you generate an advance payment, partial invoices or the final invoice from your estimate.
The monitoring of unpaid invoices is simplified by the notification system within the software and the setting of automatic reminders by e-mail or SMS.
Supplier purchasing management
You create supplier files within the software, including all relevant information. Supplier records are updated in the software with each new transaction to provide you with a complete history.
You regulate the supply based on the stock situation and the needs of your construction sites. You monitor the processing of requests, the status of orders and deliveries and manage the payment of supplier invoices.
You examine, on the basis of historical data, the volume of purchases per period or project and the evolution of prices for supplies.
Financial overview
Purchases of supplies, salaries, down payments… The expenses and receipts of your construction sites are listed in a financial table, giving you a better visibility of the financial information.
You can visualise in real time the costs of the project (realised or committed) in order to control that the defined budget is respected or to quickly identify budget overruns.
With this monetary view, you are able to compare your estimates with the actual costs to ensure that the project is running smoothly.
Accounting
The accounting is partly done by automated processes. Financial transactions are recorded in the software, which integrates all accounting aspects: creditors, debtors, salaries.
You will carry out accounting operations taking into account all the specificities linked to the field of construction for a compliant accounting.
Reports and statistics
Management reports allow you to analyse the data collected by the software. With these analysis tools, you are able, for example, to examine multiple ongoing projects to compare their profitability.
You will also be able to obtain invoicing statistics to compare the number of invoices per period, evaluate the productivity of your teams according to different criteria or analyse the types of problems encountered during previous projects in order to prevent their recurrence.
Employee management
The building management solution integrates all HR aspects: wages, time, absences, documentation.
Working hours are entered into the software by employees and validated by the site manager or HR manager.
Wages are calculated on the basis of actual hours and salary bases, taking into account overtime, social security charges, absences, etc. In just a few clicks, you’ll be able to produce compliant pay slips.
You set the parameters for vacations, vacations and public vacations in the software, in line with current standards and internal regulations.
MCA Stone makes it possible to draw up claims and illness reports quickly. Incidents and illnesses within the company can be tracked by case.
