Software for Construction & Civils
A purpose-built digital solution for project and cost management, built for South African contractors, from full construction programmes to single civil contracts.
Whether you're running multi-trade construction projects or delivering a single civil contract, Skynode's SaaS gives you B-BBEE tracking, CIDB/NHBRC compliance, QS-native budgets, and offline-first tools built for South African site conditions.
The problems we solve
Familiar challenges we hear from teams across South Africa.
01
Budgets that drift
Costs live in spreadsheets and actuals arrive a month late. By the time the numbers are reconciled, the margin is already gone.
02
Paper-based site records
Site diaries, weather delays, and safety incidents captured on paper are impossible to find when a claim or dispute lands on your desk.
03
Compliance admin overload
B-BBEE, CIDB, and NHBRC requirements eat your evenings, with audit evidence scattered across email threads and shared drives.
How Skynode helps
Purpose-built tools that remove the real bottlenecks in your day-to-day operations.
Plan the whole contract
Interactive Gantt scheduling with milestones, dependencies, and critical path analysis, so slippage is visible weeks before it threatens the handover date.
Track every rand, live
QS-style budgets structured like your bill of quantities, with planned-vs-actual costs sourced live from approved timesheets, coded supplier invoices, and variation orders, all in ZAR.
Run the site from your phone
Daily logs, weather records, labour counts, photo and video progress capture, and safety incident reporting from mobile, working offline through load-shedding.

Built for teams like yours
How South African teams put Skynode to work every day.
01
For the contracts manager
Running three sites and a month-end reconciliation marathon? Committed and actual costs roll up automatically, so month-end takes hours instead of a week.
02
For the quantity surveyor
Budgets are structured the way your bill of quantities already works, labour, plant, subcontract, material, and prelims, not a generic line-item list.
03
For the site agent
Capture the site diary, labour counts, and progress photos from your phone in minutes, and it's all on record the day a delay claim needs evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from teams in your industry.
Does it work on site without signal?
Yes. Site diaries, timesheets, and progress capture work fully offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns, built for load-shedding and remote sites.
Can it handle B-BBEE, CIDB, and NHBRC compliance?
Yes. Compliance tracking is built in, with audit-ready records for B-BBEE, CIDB, and NHBRC requirements instead of evidence scattered across spreadsheets and email.
What does it cost?
Transparent monthly pricing in ZAR with plans for small contractors up to established firms. See the Wakha and Sakha pages for detail, or contact us for a quote on your operation.
How long does setup take?
Days, not months. Pre-configured templates for civil-style budgets and compliance mean most contractors are capturing live site data within the first week.
