Site Setu vs Buildcontrol

Use this page to compare workflow coverage, data structure, and site adoption. We focus on what matters most for field teams.

What Site Setu Covers

Core capabilities that matter for construction workflows.

Structured Material Trail

Indent to PO to GRN with clear numbering and traceability across inventory workflows.

MS Project Imports

Bring .mpp schedules into WBS tasks without re-entering hierarchy or dependencies.

Equipment & Maintenance Logs

Track equipment masters, maintenance records, and work logs with cost visibility.

Drawings & Revisions

Manage drawing records with revisions, review statuses, and annotations in one library.

Questions to Ask

Use these to evaluate fit with your current processes.

  • -Do you need a documented indent-to-GRN trail with attachments?
  • -Will your planners import .mpp schedules into site-ready tasks?
  • -How important are equipment work logs and maintenance records?
  • -Do you want drawing revisions and annotations inside the same system?
  • -How quickly can site teams update tasks and materials from mobile?

Switching Checklist

Plan a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

  1. Export your existing projects, vendors, and documents from Buildcontrol.
  2. Map your materials and document numbering patterns into Site Setu.
  3. Import MS Project schedules if you use .mpp files for planning.
  4. Pilot on one live project before rolling out to all sites.

How to Evaluate Construction Software

Use the same test project when comparing tools. Validate how each platform handles daily updates, approvals, and document trails for indents, POs, GRNs, task status, and drawing revisions. This avoids demos that look good but break during real site execution.

A practical selection process is simple: shortlist two options, run each with one active site team for two weeks, and compare speed, data accuracy, and follow-up effort. The right tool should reduce manual consolidation at day-end and provide a clear audit trail for management review.
