Workcube ERP consulting and AI for construction companies
Version 1.0 — Last updated:
What should ERP solve in construction? Each project's cost, site materials, subcontractors and progress payments, cash flow and fast-moving input prices must be tracked per project in one record. Turkey-based Gramoni implements and configures Workcube ERP for construction companies and deploys AI that turns site documents into records with human approval. It has no construction-specific product.
In construction, ERP has to tie scattered sites and long-running projects into one cost picture. Each project a company runs at the same time works like a separate business, with its own budget, materials and subcontractors. Typical ERP problems in this sector:
- Project-based cost. Costs must be posted to the project and the work item, not to the company as a whole; otherwise which project made money is found out afterwards.
- Subcontractors and progress payments. When subcontract agreements, progress payments (hakediş) and deductions are kept in separate spreadsheets, payables and cost stop agreeing.
- Site materials. How much of the material sent to a site was used and how much is still there reaches the records late.
- Changing input prices. Material and labour prices change during a project; the gap between the cost at quotation and the actual cost must be tracked.
- Document flow. Delivery notes, timesheets and site reports start on paper at the site; getting them to head office and into the records takes time.
Industry snapshot
According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), construction production value in Turkey was TRY 7.976 trillion in 2025, against TRY 27.886 trillion for manufacturing and TRY 9.134 trillion for trade (provisional results).
Input prices are moving fast. According to TÜİK, the construction cost index rose 29.59% in August 2026 compared with the same month a year earlier; the materials index rose 28.72% and the labour index 31.20%. TÜİK's building permit statistics show that in the second quarter of 2026 the floor area of buildings granted construction permits fell 7.4% year on year, while the floor area granted occupancy permits rose 5.8%.

ERP use depends on size. According to TÜİK, 28.3% of Turkish enterprises with 10 or more employees used ERP software in 2025, rising to 76.5% among those with 250 or more.
How does a Workcube project run?
In this sector, the setup usually decides how an ERP project goes. If the structure of projects, work items and cost centres is not set up right from the start, reports cannot be read per project.
Workcube's implementation methodology has eight phases, each with a written output. In Selection, a needs analysis and a POC workshop are held, and scope, budget and timeline are put in writing. In Design, processes are analysed, workflow diagrams and a fit-gap analysis are prepared, and the conceptual design is approved. In Configuration, master data is migrated; Gramoni provides a migration template for each data type and the company fills in its own data. In Go-live and training, users are trained and the company goes live in stages; Support and Sustainment follow.
What Gramoni offers in this industry
Gramoni works with companies in the construction sector. We have no construction-specific product; two of our services fit this sector:
- Workcube ERP consulting and implementation. Delivered with Workcube's eight-phase methodology, covering finance and accounting, CRM, HR, sales and distribution, and materials. Workcube is a Turkish ERP platform. Which needs standard screens meet and which call for company-specific development is set out in writing in the fit-gap analysis during the Design phase. Custom code is packaged as a separate module; Workcube's standard code is never modified.
- AI and automation. Applications that run on your own data, with every result going through human approval: records from document photos, an identity-bound WhatsApp assistant, a decision log from meeting recordings, a searchable knowledge base and multi-channel notifications. Workcube is not required. We do not train models on your data.
If you are still choosing an ERP, the ERP selection guide walks through the decision step by step.
What we do not do
We do not offer a separate software product for project planning, quantity take-off or site management. The services on this page are consulting, configuration and AI applications.
Frequently asked questions
What is the hardest part of ERP in construction?
Every job is a project. Cost, materials, subcontractors, progress payments and collections must be tracked per project, not company-wide. Sites are scattered, projects are long and input prices move fast, so when records are entered late, project cost stays an estimate.
Does Gramoni have a construction-specific product?
No. In construction, Gramoni provides Workcube ERP consulting and implementation, and AI and automation. How construction-specific needs are met with standard Workcube screens is set out in writing in the fit-gap analysis during the Design phase.
If we need custom development, will Workcube updates break it?
No. Gramoni never modifies Workcube's standard code; company-specific code is packaged as a separate module. When Workcube is updated, the standard code changes and the custom module stays in place.
What can AI do with documents coming from construction sites?
The applications Gramoni builds include records from document photos, an identity-bound WhatsApp assistant and agents that write records after approval. Every result goes through human approval. We do not train models on your data.
