What is different about construction in India
Construction and EPC firms bidding for public-sector work need to track GeM (Government e-Marketplace) tender numbers and submission deadlines on the deal record, while private developers require the project's RERA registration before marketing can legally begin. Solar installers additionally track subsidy or net-metering approval status per customer, since that approval step often determines when a deal actually closes rather than the initial quote.
Construction invoicing separates GST on materials from GST on works contracts, which are taxed differently and confuse many first-time buyers, so quote templates should make the split explicit. Site labour compliance, including BOCW (Building and Other Construction Workers) registration, is often requested by corporate clients before signing. Homeowner and site-visit contact data falls under DPDP Act 2023. Construction enquiries typically slow during the monsoon months when site visits and material delivery both become difficult.
Set up your CRM for India construction teams
- Track GeM tender numbers and submission deadlines on public-sector deals so bids are never missed.
- Add a net-metering or subsidy-approval status field for solar deals, since that step often decides the actual close date.
- Flag the monsoon months as a low-activity period so site-visit scheduling and follow-up cadence adjust automatically.
