Your construction company works 1,808 hours a month. CERNE gives back 240 of them.Fewer messages pieced together at night, fewer quotes by text and fewer paper gate lists. The engineer and the foreman go back to the jobsite.Simulation by our team: a builder with 3 concurrent projects, 18 in-house staff and about 25 subcontractor workers on site. Estimated time.Where the hours go today.

49 h: requesting, quoting and buying materials by text and spreadsheet

17 h: checking at the gate who works for which subcontractor and whether their occupational health certificate is current

11 h: of the engineer piecing together WhatsApp group messages at night

On Reclame Aqui, 11 builders reported construction software they could not roll out and annual contracts that would not let them leave.What CERNE does instead.One workflow per row, with the hours it gives back each month. The label shows what is still on the way.

Quotes by text and comparison in a spreadsheet → Requisition, three quotes, comparison sheet and purchase order tied to the project: 30 h

Loose messages in the group, daily log from memory → Daily log and field issues with photo, owner and deadline: 21 h (being built)

Paper timesheets and headcount by text → Clock-in by phone at each project, with the day's headcount: 16 h

Materials issued with no record → Issue by work front, stock counts and minimum-stock reorders: 16 h

Gate with a paper list → Subcontractor list per project, with documents up to date: 13 h (being built)

Purchase invoices typed in by hand → Invoice from the XML, posted to the project and to finance: 13 h

What that is worth.

240 h of team time freed up each month, the same as 1.7 people (from 152 h to 313 h)

R$ 1,702 a month that stays in your cash register (from R$ 1,131 to R$ 1,702)

R$ 11.3K a month is what the freed hours are worth (from R$ 7.0K to R$ 15.1K)

A freed hour is capacity: the engineer oversees one more project and the foreman stays at the work front. In the register, the gain comes from the systems CERNE replaces: project management, finance, tasks, CRM and dashboard. SINAPI cost estimating, ART filings and workplace safety are still paid separately.Project management and finance: R$ 839 a month (entry-level list price). CRM and dashboard: R$ 292. Tasks (Asana): R$ 571, for those who use it; left out of the conservative scenario.What CERNE solves.Each square is 10 hours of the builder's month. CERNE steps into 26% of them: it automates, eliminates, standardizes or supports with AI. Building, preparing, hauling and supervising stay with the team: CERNE records and follows up, it does not lay bricks.

183 h CERNE automates

57 h go away

162 h become a standard routine

73 h get AI support

1333 h stay with the team: building, preparing, hauling and supervising

Why you can trust the number.We mapped 29 processes and 156 tasks of a reference builder, with the time and frequency of each across 3 projects. Every task got a verdict (eliminate, standardize, automate, support with AI or keep human) and the CERNE module responsible for it.Start with an assessment of your operation
