OPTICON

What Is OPTICON?

OPTICON, now known as CivitBUILD, is an end-to-end construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform by SoftTech Engineers, designed for contractors and developers of all sizes. It digitizes the entire construction process, driving efficiency. The software leverages direct integration with BIM models to automate Bill of Quantity (BOQ) generation, ensuring highly accurate bids and saving valuable time. Its real-time project monitoring provides 360-degree visibility into project health, empowering teams to prevent costly delays and budget overruns. Moreover, as part of SoftTech’s broader construction technology ecosystem, it eliminates data silos by unifying project, financial, and operational workflows on a single platform.

What Is OPTICON Best For?

Best known for its BIM and AI-powered pre-construction planning, OPTICON (CivitBUILD) integrates smoothly with Autodesk Revit to automatically interpret BIM data and expedite material planning, scheduling, and resource allocation. This reduces manual estimation effort while improving accuracy and efficiency. It is especially valuable for large-scale construction projects where precise upfront planning directly impacts cost control and execution timelines.

• Access the project workspace to select a specific project and review its structure, including planning, execution, and financial modules
• Use the navigation panel to move between core modules such as planning, procurement, inventory, and project execution
• Review live project updates through dashboards that display progress status, cost summaries, and resource allocation
• Create or respond to tasks, approvals, and RFQs directly from the relevant module or notification panel
• Upload or review site-level updates such as daily progress reports, material usage, and work completion entries
• Use the reporting section to generate project or portfolio-level insights for monitoring performance and tracking deviations

OPTICON Use Cases

Based on our analysis of available case studies and OPTICON’S current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a strong fit for construction and infrastructure-focused organizations:

Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects With Multi-Contractor Coordination

OPTICON is well-suited for complex infrastructure projects such as highways, metro systems, and utilities where multiple contractors and subcontractors operate simultaneously. In these environments, project owners typically struggle with fragmented reporting and inconsistent progress tracking across sites. The platform helps centralize project data, enabling stakeholders to monitor execution milestones, cost movements, and resource deployment in real time.

Real Estate Developers Managing End-to-End Project Lifecycles

For real estate developers handling residential or commercial construction, OPTICON supports the full lifecycle from planning and estimation to execution and handover. These organizations often need tighter control over budgets, BOQs, and procurement cycles across multiple concurrent projects. The software is particularly useful in environments where cost overruns and delayed reporting can impact project profitability.  

Contractors Handling High-Volume Procurement And Vendor Networks

Contracting firms managing large vendor ecosystems benefit from OPTICON’s ability to simplify procurement workflows across projects. In such scenarios, organizations typically deal with frequent RFQs, rate comparisons, and purchase approvals across multiple job sites. The system helps standardize procurement processes while maintaining visibility into vendor performance and material flow.  

Engineering Firms Executing EPC And Turnkey Projects

Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms often require tight integration between design, procurement, execution, and financial tracking. OPTICON supports this integrated workflow by enabling coordinated project planning and execution monitoring across departments. These firms typically operate under strict delivery commitments, where delays in one phase can cascade across the project lifecycle. The platform helps maintain synchronization between planning schedules, on-site execution, and commercial tracking.
