Sirex launches 2-product suite to digitize Indian construction sites

For real estate developers and builders, project delivery has long operated with blind spots: site attendance, material consumption, and subcontractor billing are tracked in disconnected paper and chat silos. Sirex's launch addresses that gap by giving owners and head offices the same attendance and material entries that a supervisor records on a phone that morning. The builder ERP module adds multi-project budgeting, procurement, and payables on top of the same underlying site record, making it a direct tool for portfolio-level oversight.

On August 17, 2026, Ahmedabad-based Sirex announced the general availability of its construction management software across Android, iOS, and the web. The company is positioning the platform as a replacement for the paper registers, WhatsApp groups, and spreadsheets that many Indian contracting firms still rely on for day-to-day site operations. According to the launch announcement, Sirex ships as two connected products: a contractor-side application for daily site execution and a builder-side ERP module for enterprise oversight across multiple projects. Both products write to the same underlying record, which means a head office can see the same attendance and material entries that a site supervisor entered from a phone that morning. Every entry is tied to a site, a date, and the person who recorded it, creating an auditable trail that the company argues can settle wage or material disputes from the record rather than from memory.

Sirex's launch addresses that gap by giving owners and head offices the same attendance and material entries that a supervisor records on a phone that morning.

The product scope is unusually broad for an early-stage vertical SaaS tool. On the contractor side, Sirex handles worker and staff attendance with shift and overtime detail, wages due versus wages paid, material and equipment inventory with transfers between warehouse and site, rental machinery tracking with automatic charge accrual, subcontractor registries and running billing accounts, site-level petty cash and expenses, vendor bills, client invoices, dated progress entries with photographs, and PDF reports generated inside the app. The builder ERP module adds master budgeting, procurement, and payables. This bundling of field execution and back-office financial oversight into a single real-time record is the core of the company's pitch: contractors historically find out they overspent on a site two months after it happened, when the money is already gone. By moving the point of data entry to the person standing at the site, Sirex aims to compress that feedback loop to the same day.

The co-founder quotes in the announcement are notable because they define the wedge. Kashish D. Shah, Co-Founder, said most contractors were not short of information, but that information was scattered across a supervisor's diary, three WhatsApp groups, and a folder of purchase bills in the site office. "The problem was that nobody could put it together fast enough to act on it," Shah said. Harsh A. Patel, Co-Founder, added that there is no shortage of construction software, but a lot of it is written for large EPC companies with dedicated project controls teams. That distinction matters: the Indian construction market is dominated by small and mid-sized contractors and builders who do not have project controls teams, and who are unlikely to adopt heavy enterprise software that assumes a dedicated BIM or planning group. Sirex is explicitly targeting that underserved segment with a mobile-first, phone-entry workflow.

Operationally, the implications are significant if the product delivers on its claims. Real-time visibility into attendance, material consumption, and rental accruals can reduce leakage, improve cash-flow forecasting, and lower the cost of dispute resolution. For developers and large builders, the shared underlying record across multiple projects offers a consolidated view without waiting for monthly reconciliations. The fact that progress entries include photographs linked to specific sites and contracts also creates a lightweight quality and progress audit trail that could be useful in client billing and disputes.
