Construction Project Management Software for Indian Highway and Road Contractors
Built for the contractors
Indian highways are paved by.
MoRTH and NHAI tenders, IRC code references, layer-by-layer quantity tracking, MoRTH rate analysis. CivilBolt is a PM workspace that knows the difference between bituminous concrete and dense bituminous macadam.
500+ pages

Quantity tracking from sub-base to wearing course
IRC-37, 58, 73
Pavement design references in every Civil Brain answer
Highway projects look standard. They almost never are.
Two MoRTH tenders for the same length of state highway can have wildly different LD calculations, mobilization advance terms, and quality acceptance criteria. The difference is buried 200 pages in. Mid-execution, the difference becomes a payment delay or a notice issued by the project director.
Layer-wise BOQs that don't reconcile to MoRTH norms
GSB, WMM, DBM, BC. Each with its own thickness, compaction, and field-density acceptance criteria. Bid teams import the BOQ into Excel and lose the layer hierarchy. The site team measures by chainage; the BOQ measures by lead. Quantities go missing.
Joint inspection schedules nobody scheduled
Independent engineers (per FIDIC Yellow) or Authority Engineers (per MoRTH ITB) require notice for layer-by-layer inspection. The notice clause is in the special conditions; the practical scheduling lives in WhatsApp. When the IE is not available, the layer waits a week. The bituminous compaction sits in the sun.
EOT entitlement on weather, monsoon, and right-of-way
Most road contracts entitle EOT for 'unforeseeable' rain days beyond a baseline. The baseline lives on page 47 of Volume II. The notice period lives on page 312 of Volume III. The contemporaneous-records requirement is in a sub-appendix. Miss any link, lose the entitlement.
Earned value variance flagged at month four, not week two
Highway projects bleed margin in the first kilometre, not the last. Aggregate price hikes, sub-grade soil surprises, and approval delays compound by week two. Most contractors discover the variance when the month-end review hits.
From tender to layer-by-layer billing, on one record.
The contract you uploaded becomes the project. Layer-wise BOQ items become daily-log line items. Civil Brain reads MoRTH 5th revision and IRC codes alongside your tender. Site engineer scans a QR code on the embankment, the layer's quantities flow into the RA bill.
Step 01
Upload the tender or awarded contract
Volume I (BOQ + payment), Volume II (special conditions), Volume III (general conditions), Schedule of Drawings. Civil Brain reads all of it, including IRC and MoRTH cross-references.
Step 02
BOQ stays layer-wise, schedule stays chainage-wise
GSB, WMM, DBM, BC each get their own BOQ items with field-density acceptance, MoRTH-rate baseline, and layer-cumulative quantity tracking. The Gantt arranges by chainage with milestone fences.
Step 03
Site logs flow into RA bills, not into a separate Excel
Quantity logged at chainage 12+450 with a photo and the signature of the IE's representative? It's in the RA bill the next morning. No separate measurement-book entry, no end-of-month re-entry.
Step 04
EOT and variation letters drafted from the contract you uploaded
Civil Brain pulls the right MoRTH or FIDIC clause for your EOT claim, drafts the formal letter, and references the daily logs that make the contemporaneous-records requirement defensible.
Contract modes used on Indian highway projects.
Most road and highway tenders use one of these four. CivilBolt treats each as a first-class project mode, not a custom field bolted onto a generic project template.
Run a real road tender through CivilBolt.
30 minutes with a construction expert. Send us a MoRTH or NHAI tender PDF you're evaluating. We'll process it on the demo and walk through the layer-wise BOQ, the EOT clauses, and the IRC code traces.
