Construction, Architecture & Project Management | Elegia Studio
From the First Drawing to the Final Handover
Design, plan, estimate and manage construction projects with digital tools adapted to your role. Whether you are an architect, engineer, contractor, property developer or building owner, bring greater organisation, visibility and control to every stage of your project.
A construction project involves more than building. It involves decisions, people, costs and information.
From designing a house to developing an apartment building or coordinating several construction sites, every project depends on accurate information, clear responsibilities and well-organised processes.
Drawings, technical models, budgets, quotations, schedules, contracts, measurements, documents and progress reports often exist across different computers, spreadsheets, emails and conversations.
Open-source tools make it possible to organise these activities more effectively, whether you need architectural modelling, project planning, construction cost management or a dedicated environment for monitoring your investment.
A clearer picture of every stage of construction
Give architects, contractors, project managers and building owners the tools they need to organise their work, monitor progress and make better-informed decisions. Each participant can work with the information relevant to their responsibilities.
What could you do with these platforms?
The right tools for your role in construction
An architect, a contractor and a building owner do not need exactly the same software. Each project can be configured around the activities, responsibilities and information that matter to its participants.
One construction project. Different perspectives.
The contractor manages execution, resources and operational costs. The building owner monitors the contracted budget, deadlines and payments. Architects and independent supervisors validate technical information within their professional responsibilities.
These perspectives do not have to be identical. The important thing is being able to document them, compare relevant information and identify differences requiring clarification or approval.
Work completed, resources used, operational progress, proposed variations and payment requests.
Contracted values, approved changes, investment commitments, payments and delivery expectations.
Independent inspections, technical assessments, measurement verification, identified defects and approval records.
Information can be shared in a common environment with appropriate permissions or exchanged between independent systems. Automated reconciliation, integrations and approval workflows depend on the selected software and project requirements.
You finance the construction. You should understand its progress.
Whether you are building your own home, developing an apartment building or managing several property investments, construction involves financial decisions that deserve organised and accessible information.
Keep project documentation, contractor quotations, agreed budgets, reported progress, requested payments and approved variations together in an environment adapted to your role.
The objective is not to replace architects, engineers or independent construction supervisors. It is to help you follow the project, ask the right questions and make informed decisions with better-organised information.
Different construction needs. Different platforms.
We work with open-source tools covering architectural design, BIM modelling, project planning and construction management. The selection depends on the actual requirements of each project. Not every client needs every platform.
An open-source parametric 3D modelling application with technical drawing and BIM capabilities, useful for designing and documenting buildings and construction components.
An open-source BIM environment integrated with Blender, focused on creating, editing and managing building information using open standards such as IFC.
An open-source project management platform for planning activities, assigning responsibilities, coordinating teams, managing schedules and monitoring progress.
An open-source construction-focused project offering tools for estimates, bills of quantities, cost analysis, construction planning and project monitoring. Specific capabilities are subject to technical validation.
Construction management and business management can work together
Construction companies may also need to manage suppliers, purchasing, inventory, invoicing and business operations beyond the construction projects themselves.
In these cases, a general business management platform such as ERPNext can be considered as a complementary solution. Any data integration between systems is evaluated separately according to technical feasibility.
Your construction information should remain accessible and organised
Open-source solutions provide opportunities to work with open formats, self-hosted systems and project information managed within an environment suited to your organisation.
Depending on the selected tools, different participants may use shared environments, independent workspaces or controlled document exchanges.
Software configuration does not replace licensed architectural or engineering services, independent technical supervision, contractual validation or compliance with applicable regulations. Data exchange, permissions, backups and security must be assessed for each project.
You manage the project. We prepare the digital tools.
Elegia Studio provides installation, initial configuration and basic customisation services for open-source architecture, BIM and construction management platforms. We help identify suitable solutions and prepare the working environment according to your project's requirements. Hosting, maintenance, additional services and integrations can be evaluated separately.
