BuildSpace (BuildSpace Pro)
"A construction digital solution made by QS for QS"
Market position
A Malaysia-native (since 2016) end-to-end cloud platform for developers, contractors and consultants — BQ, e-tendering, contract management and progress claims. A standout local quantity-surveying tool.
Malaysia-specific note
Directly relevant to the construction e-invoicing reality — it handles the progress-claim certificates and variation orders linked to contract BQ items, exactly the documents construction firms must e-invoice individually under MyInvois. Pair it with an accounting tool for the LHDN submission itself.
Pros
- + Purpose-built for Malaysian QS/BQ workflow
- + Strong tender comparison (no Excel formulae)
- + Centralized cost database
- + Progress-claim / variation-order management
Cons
- − Niche (QS/contractor only, not general accounting)
- − Not itself an e-invoice submitter — pairs with accounting software
- − Smaller vendor
- − Learning curve
Typical Malaysia pricing
Quote-based (module/seat-based).
Why this matters for Malaysia trades
CIDB (the Construction Industry Development Board) registers and grades contractors G1–G7 by project value and issues the mandatory Green Card for site workers under Act 520 — registration is required to undertake or bid construction work; LHDN/IRBM runs income tax, SST and the MyInvois e-invoicing system (XML/JSON with a validated UIN and QR code); SSM (the Companies Commission of Malaysia) handles company incorporation; the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) registers engineers; and employers must register every worker with EPF/KWSP (provident fund), SOCSO/PERKESO (social security) and EIS.
Malaysian construction & trades software selection is shaped above all by MyInvois — the national e-invoicing system run by LHDN/IRBM (the Inland Revenue Board), phasing in by turnover (largest firms since August 2024, mid-market through 2025, businesses above RM1m from January 2026, and the smallest firms following). Construction is treated as a special case: many progress claims and certain transactions must be e-invoiced individually rather than batched into a monthly consolidated e-invoice — so "MyInvois-ready / LHDN-compliant" is the lead selling point for local accounting and construction-ERP vendors. Add the Ringgit (MYR), SST (Sales & Service Tax, not VAT), CIDB G1–G7 contractor grading across ~130,000 registered contractors, and a government digitalisation grant nudging SMEs onto the software. Business runs in English.
