🧾 Analytical Summary
A construction flow in Odoo, end‑to‑end: quote by sections, spin up projects/tasks, plan crews, purchase and receive materials (barcodes), request from central warehouse, log timesheets, track profitability, invoice time & materials, and service punch‑list issues via Field Service.
🧱 From quote to project
- Sectioned quotations (hide composition/prices per section) + Quote Builder for a polished proposal.
- On confirmation, a project is created with tasks and top‑bar shortcuts (Docs, Gantt, Purchases, Requests, Dashboard).
🏗️ Execution
- Gantt schedules tasks; Planning allocates shifts; Barcodes validate job‑site receipts.
- Purchases tracked per project; internal material requests to central warehouse.
⏱️ Control & billing
- Timesheets mobile + desktop; dashboard for profitability (labor, materials, to‑invoice).
- Invoice time & materials in clicks; Field Service handles issues with mobile worksheets.
🧠 Viewpoint: Odoo Perspective
One project spine should connect quoting, site work, and invoicing—so managers see margin in real time and crews keep moving.
🏢 Viewpoint: Competitors
The ERP‑native flow is strong. Buyers will compare advanced cost codes, change orders, retainage, and subcontractor compliance vs construction ERPs.
