A Dedicated Construction App for Odoo ERP
Turn Odoo into a true construction software – without custom development.
"Odoo is a powerful ERP, but it was designed as a generic business platform. Construction companies often encounter limitations when managing quantities, cost structures, variations, and real-world project complexity."
Bimbal is a third-party Odoo app built specifically to fill those gaps.
It extends Odoo with construction-specific logic — without turning your ERP into a custom project.
Why construction companies need more than standard Odoo
No native concept of construction variants and scope evolution
No proper handling of quantities, BoQ logic, and deltas
Limited traceability between estimates, execution and as-built
Generic costing models not adapted to construction workflows
Bimbal introduces construction-grade concepts directly into Odoo — without breaking its core architecture.
(Note: Bimbal is not an Odoo module among others, but a third-party industry app designed to extend Odoo for construction companies)

Frequently asked questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about Odoo apps specific to the construction industry.
Odoo Industry modules are only automatic settings. They are useful for saving time when implementing Odoo in a new business, but they do not include any functionality. They are not apps or add-ons. To fill the gaps in Odoo in relation to the needs of the construction industry, it is necessary to add a specific third-party application such as Bimbal.
No, even though Odoo is a general-purpose ERP that is not sufficiently adapted to construction companies without add-ons, it is currently the most powerful and versatile solution available. Odoo's open-source framework allows publishers such as Bimbal to develop specific third-party applications for specific industries. This strategy allows Odoo to adapt to all industries, even the most demanding ones such as the construction sector.
No, absolutely not! Odoo is an open source solution that allows you to install third-party applications of your choice independently.
