Sound Familiar?

Every construction professional has faced these challenges. Here's how Arkan transforms your daily frustrations into streamlined workflows.

"Where's the latest revision?"

Construction document management with one source of truth

Someone approved a drawing. But which version? Is it in email, the shared drive, or the consultant's system? By the time you find it, you've lost half a day.

  • Automatic version control — always see the latest revision
  • Real-time sync across office and site teams
  • Full audit trail on every document action
Learn more about document control for construction

"The IPC is still not ready?"

BOQ management software with payment automation

Your QS team spends days compiling inspection records, matching them to BOQ items, calculating percentages. Then it sits waiting for approval. Cash flow suffers.

  • Cut IPC preparation from weeks to days
  • Automated quantity tracking tied to progress
  • Variation orders linked directly to BOQ items
Learn more about BOQ-to-payment automation

"What's our actual progress?"

Real-time construction dashboards

Your schedule says 65%. The site says 50%. Finance has a different number. Every meeting becomes a debate about what's true instead of solving problems.

  • Real-time progress visibility for all stakeholders
  • S-curve tracking synced with P6 schedules
  • Auditable records that eliminate disputes
