Construction software for local government

Construction software for municipal challenges

As a local authority, you manage everything from school renovations and roadworks to new public buildings — often with limited resources and multiple teams involved. That means balancing planning, compliance, communication, and delivery — all while working with suppliers, architects and contractors.

Prostream helps you bring structure to the chaos. Our local government software is designed to give municipalities full visibility over every project: who’s doing what, when, and with which version of the plan. It streamlines collaboration across departments and external parties, helps you stay compliant, and reduces costly errors.

On this page, you’ll discover how Prostream supports local governments in managing construction and maintenance work more efficiently — with fewer delays, clearer communication, and better results.

Some of the municipalities that use our software:

Features driving municipal construction success

Centralised document management

Prostream offers one secure platform for managing all your project documentation — from contractor quotes and BIM files to delivery lists and site photos. You no longer need to search across folders or outdated systems. With our document management system (DMS), everything is stored and organised in one place, giving your team instant access to the information they need — anytime.

Collaboration made easy

Working with contractors, suppliers and internal departments? Prostream brings everyone together in a shared environment — a true common data environment (CDE) — where tasks, updates and documents are clearly visible and easily shared. This reduces miscommunication, speeds up decision-making, and keeps your municipal projects moving forward.

Automatic version management

Never worry about outdated files again. With automatic version management, Prostream keeps track of every change — so your team always works with the latest document. It eliminates confusion, reduces the risk of mistakes, and ensures consistency across the entire project lifecycle.

Cloud-based storage for easy access

With Prostream’s cloud-based storage, project data is accessible anytime, anywhere — from the office or on-site. Whether you’re a civil servant reviewing updates or a project manager checking drawings on the go, you’ll always have the latest information at your fingertips. Cloud access also ensures secure backups and seamless collaboration across teams.

File sharing and large file handling

Sharing heavy BIM models or detailed technical drawings? Prostream allows for fast, secure and seamless transfer of large files — with no extra tools needed. Everything stays centralised and accessible.

Local synchronisation

Even with unstable internet connections, Prostream keeps your work going. Local changes are saved and automatically synced once reconnected — keeping all users up to date without losing progress.

Data security and access control

Prostream ensures that sensitive municipal project data stays protected. With flexible user permissions and robust access control, you decide who can view or edit each file — keeping your data safe and your team compliant.

Good construction software enables municipalities to grasp the above-mentioned challenges by the horns and is the tool that helps municipalities to manage complex construction projects in the right direction.

What should you pay attention to when choosing construction software?

Nowadays there is a lot of available options when it comes to construction software. That makes it difficult to see the wood for the trees. However, not all software is the same. For example, there are ‘point solutions’ that digitize and support a specific process in construction, but also platform solutions that can be used more broadly. For municipalities, the second option is often the best, especially because it offers the best opportunities to maintain control over all links within a municipal construction project.

Whichever you choose, it is especially important that construction software for municipalities has the following features and functionalities:
