BrickControl vs Planning Ops

BrickControl is cloud-based construction management software that covers estimating, planning, execution, procurement, and cost analysis. It supports detailed estimates, feasibility reviews, site assessments, price databases, and project scheduling. During execution, it tracks progress certificates, resources, materials, labor, and machinery costs. Supplier, purchase-order, stock, warehouse, and inventory tools cover procurement, while reports compare estimated costs with actual execution costs in real time. Listed integrations include Reviso, QuickBooks, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Holded, and SAP; custom connections can be built through its REST API. The product is accessed as a web application over an internet connection and is listed for web, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Basic costs $64 a month and includes two users. A 14-day trial includes all features and requires no credit card. BrickControl says data is stored in Amazon data centers, access data is encrypted, and customers set permissions. Subscribers can download backups; after cancellation, data is kept for one week before deletion.

Planning Ops is an operations app for concrete subcontractors, combining pour scheduling, crew planning, project schedules, and daily reports. Place & Finish provides a drag-and-drop pour board with live project weather, conflict alerts, automatic quantity totals, and one-click notifications. Manpower includes a 52-week crew board, timeline and job views, roster and PTO tracking, projections, time and certification tracking, and payroll export presets for ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Gusto, Paylocity, Sage, Vista, and Foundation, plus Excel and Universal CSV. Daily Reports creates signed, numbered field reports with safety details, delays, and photos; submitted hours go to time tracking. Users can confirm, reschedule, or cancel pours and notify project, crew, ready-mix, pump, and subcontractor contacts. The platform costs $149 a month, billed monthly or annually, with three working seats included and extra seats at $20/mo. It has an iPhone and iPad app requiring iOS 15.0 or later. There is no Android app, though the workspace can be accessed in a browser on Android and desktop. Customer data is isolated using Postgres row-level security. The maker lists Charleston, South Carolina as its location.
