Control Shift · Construction systems
Control Shift develops fit-out software that connects design approvals, commercial scope, procurement, fabrication and site delivery. Build an interior fit-out ERP or a focused project system around the way your Dubai and UAE teams manage rooms, finishes, trades and handover dates.
For interior fit-out contractors, MEP specialists, joinery businesses and project teams coordinating design, factory and site work.

Proposed workflow. Final roles, records and approvals are agreed during discovery.
A client changes a finish while procurement is comparing quotes and the workshop is preparing fabrication. If those teams work from different revisions, the result can be a wrong order, rework or an unrecorded variation. A fit-out system connects the approved design and commercial decision to the work package affected.
Track room data, shop drawings, material samples and client or consultant responses by revision. Record approved, rejected and revise-and-resubmit states. Link each release to the items that procurement and the workshop may use.
Organise tasks by zone, room and trade, including MEP dependencies, access windows and testing or commissioning milestones. Keep prerequisites visible so a planned installation is not mistaken for work that is ready to proceed.
Connect approved shop drawings to scoped bills of materials, production jobs, quality checks and room-tagged dispatch. Cutting-list or machine integration is a separate requirement, dependent on factory formats and equipment access.
Track a change instruction through cost assessment, client approval, procurement impact and site execution. Link measured progress to billing and retention records. Close the project with accepted snags, warranties, as-built references and operation manuals.
Each handover has an owner, a required input and a recorded outcome. We define the exceptions alongside the normal process.
Estimator + project manager
Confirm room scope, BOQ, finish schedule and commercial exclusions.
Output: Controlled fit-out package
Design coordinator + authorised reviewer
Approve the relevant sample and drawing revision before ordering or fabrication.
Output: Approved release with dependencies
Buyer + factory + site leads
Track delivery dates, production status, room allocation and MEP prerequisites.
Output: Installation and inspection evidence
Project manager + quality team
Resolve snags and assemble accepted records, manuals and warranty information.
Output: Reviewed handover package
Illustrative workflow example
Illustrative change to a joinery finish after tender. Each team receives the same approved revision and its own action.
Scroll horizontally to view all columns.
| Team | Decision or action | Record retained |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Review replacement sample and drawing | Sample approval and drawing revision |
| Commercial | Assess cost and programme impact | Variation status and supporting calculation |
| Procurement | Review existing orders before amendment | Cancellation or amended LPO approval |
| Workshop | Check work in progress before release | Updated job card and affected components |
| Site | Verify delivery and installed finish | Room-tagged inspection and closure evidence |
A design approval is not automatically a commercial variation approval. The system must record the authority and conditions for each decision.
Share room IDs, finish codes, drawing revisions and project cost codes across estimating, procurement, factory and site systems. MEP contractor software can add long-lead equipment, installation dependencies and testing records. Agree export formats and interface responsibilities with each existing provider.
Capture fit-out inspections and snagging on mobileUse document extraction to prepare sample registers, search approved specifications and summarise changes between issued packs. A draft can highlight a changed finish or missing submittal reference, with links to its evidence. Designers, commercial reviewers and project managers decide which change is approved and who must act.
Explore document extraction and review workflowsThe proposal depends on room and trade structures, factory scope, revision workflows, mobile requirements and accounting integration. Pilot one project from design release to handover. Advanced production planning, cutting-list integration and BIM links should be priced as explicit extensions rather than assumed features.
Discovery produces a workflow and data map, a prototype, an integration plan and an itemised delivery scope. Validate a trial migration and pilot with the people who use the system. Agree access roles, backups, deployment responsibilities, source-code handover, third-party licences and support terms before rollout.
Control Shift serves project teams in Dubai and across the UAE. Your project locations, languages and existing systems determine the rollout plan. Where a packaged platform already meets the requirement, configuration or a focused integration may be the appropriate scope.
Construction software development
A focused application can share project references, access rules and approved records with your wider system.

Explore the workflowA fit-out system links rooms, finishes, sample approvals, shop drawings, procurement and trade dependencies to the commercial scope. General task tracking may cover a programme but not the relationship between an approved finish, a purchase order, fabrication and a variation.
Yes, with shared project references and separate workflows for each discipline. MEP needs equipment and commissioning records; joinery may need production jobs and component tracking. The scope should define these differences before combining their reporting.
Production jobs, approved drawings, quality checks and dispatch records can be included. Detailed bills of materials, cutting lists, machine interfaces and capacity planning require factory-specific discovery and should be separately defined.
Record the instruction, affected rooms and work packages, cost and time assessment, and approval status. Link approved changes to revised orders, drawings and budgets. Keep design acceptance separate from the commercial authority to vary the contract.
Yes. Define asset IDs, accepted snag records, warranties, manuals and as-built references in the handover scope. Confirm the receiving system and its import or API requirements before the project closeout so the records can be transferred consistently.
Tell us where work gets delayed, which systems you use and what a useful first release needs to achieve. Start with a process description; anonymised sample records can be reviewed during discovery.
We will map requirements, clarify integration access and prepare a phased proposal for fit-out project management software.
