BTP — Construction Management for ERPNext

> Construction management for Moroccan BTP companies, built on Frappe and ERPNext.

BTP is an open-source construction management application being developed for Moroccan construction and BTP companies.

The project extends Frappe / ERPNext with construction-specific workflows, data models, and business processes while keeping ERPNext as the underlying ERP platform.

> Status: Work in Progress > > BTP is actively under development. Features, workflows, and the data model are still evolving and the application is not yet considered production-ready.

Overview

Construction companies have operational requirements that are not fully covered by a general-purpose ERP.

BTP aims to provide a dedicated construction layer on top of ERPNext, covering the workflows involved in managing construction projects, resources, costs, and day-to-day operations.

The project is being developed with the Moroccan construction market in mind, with future consideration for local business practices, terminology, and regulatory requirements.

The goal is not to rebuild ERPNext.

Instead, BTP adds the construction-specific functionality needed by BTP companies while continuing to use ERPNext for core ERP capabilities.

ERPNext already provides core ERP functionality such as accounting, inventory, purchasing, projects, HR, and other business operations. BTP focuses on extending that foundation for construction-specific use cases.

Target Users

BTP is being designed primarily for Moroccan:

• Construction companies
• BTP contractors
• Civil engineering companies
• Building contractors
• Subcontractors
• Infrastructure companies
• Construction project teams

The application may evolve to support additional construction-related businesses and workflows as development progresses.

Current Direction

The project is currently focused on establishing the foundation for construction management within ERPNext.

Planned and evolving areas include:

• Construction project management
• Construction-specific DocTypes
• Project and site workflows
• Cost and resource tracking
• Construction operations
• Construction reporting
• Integration with ERPNext's existing modules
• Moroccan-specific business requirements

These areas are part of the project's development direction and should not be interpreted as completed functionality.

Technology

Layer	Technology
ERP Platform	ERPNext
Framework	Frappe Framework
Backend	Python
Database	MariaDB
Frontend	Frappe UI / JavaScript
Application Management	Frappe Bench
Code Quality	Ruff, ESLint, Prettier, PyUpgrade

Installation

BTP is installed as a Frappe application inside an existing Frappe/ERPNext Bench environment.

Requirements

You need a working Frappe Bench installation with ERPNext installed.

Get the application

cd $PATH_TO_YOUR_BENCH

bench get-app https://github.com/yassinidyhya/construction_ERP.git --branch develop

Install the application

bench install-app btp

After installation, migrate the site if required:

bench --site  migrate

Development

The application is located inside the Bench apps directory:

apps/btp/

Start the development environment with:

bench start

Because BTP is still under development, installation and development requirements may change as the project evolves.

Code Quality

The repository uses pre-commit for formatting and linting.

Install the hooks:

cd apps/btp
pre-commit install

Run all checks manually:

pre-commit run --all-files

The current configuration includes:

• Ruff
• ESLint
• Prettier
• PyUpgrade

Project Structure

The application follows the standard Frappe application structure.

construction_ERP/
├── btp/
│   ├── hooks.py
│   ├── modules.txt
│   └── ...
├── pyproject.toml
├── license.txt
└── README.md

As development progresses, construction-specific modules, DocTypes, reports, workflows, and utilities will be added to the application.

Project Status

Work in Progress

BTP is not a finished product.

The project is currently being developed as a foundation for a construction management solution for Moroccan BTP companies.

The architecture, data model, workflows, and functionality may change significantly during development.

Do not use the current version as a production construction management system unless you have independently reviewed and validated the application for your requirements.

Roadmap

The roadmap will evolve alongside the project.

Potential areas of development include:

• [ ] Construction project workflows
• [ ] Site management
• [ ] Construction cost management
• [ ] Resource management
• [ ] Construction reporting
• [ ] Moroccan business localization
• [ ] Additional ERPNext integrations
• [ ] Production deployment readiness
• [ ] Documentation and user guides

Contributing

BTP is a public project and contributions, issues, and suggestions are welcome.

If you want to propose a significant change, open an issue first so the approach can be discussed before implementation.
