Constructive 2026.6 – Sharper Selections, smarter maintenance, and finer control over your job data.

The Constructive 2026.6 release brings a wave of Selections refinements, smarter maintenance reporting, and finer control over your job data. The highlight is Trade-Specific Defect Reporting, letting you email a tailored PDF straight to each trade with a full record of what was sent. Alongside it you’ll find more consistent Selections behaviour and a handful of practical improvements to filtering and template management.

Enhancements:

New Feature! Trade-Specific Defect Reports:

You can now email a PDF defect report directly to a trade from the Maintenance Items admin screen. Filter maintenance items by trade, select the relevant defects across multiple pages, and send them in one action. Each report contains only that trade’s assigned defects, plus an optional custom message. Every send is logged as a client-hidden comment recording who received it and when, and is stored in communication history, so you always have a searchable record. Trades only ever see their own assigned defects.   Example of Trade-Specific Maintenance Report generation: 

 

Example of the Optional Custom Message that would be included in the report:

 

Example of the comment log that records the communication history (client-hidden):

Consistent Item Names via “Choose Anything”:

Items selected through “Choose Anything” now follow the same category naming convention and display the same appended attributes as items chosen through the standard flow so staff and clients can always tell exactly what was selected.

Selections Introduction Toggle Moved to Features:

The Selections introduction text is now switched on or off with a standard tick-box under Features, alongside every other feature toggle, rather than sitting in its own separate setting this makes it easier to find and manage.

Template-Level Selections SME Email:

The Selections SME email address now sits at the company level, with an optional override on each selection template. Templates with their own SME email use that; the rest fall back to the company default, so discontinued-product alerts reach the person actually responsible for that template, rather than a single company-wide address.

Note-Type Dimensions Stay Editable on Locked Templates:

When a selection template is locked against dimension type changes, “Note” items are now excluded from that lock and remain editable. Notes are informational rather than selectable dimensions, so staff can keep note content up to date without unlocking the whole template. All other dimension types stay locked as before.

Improvements:

E-Brochure Respects Template Order:

Items in a Selections E-Brochure that are tagged with a Selection Template now display in the template’s defined order automatically, rather than needing manual reordering to match.

Filter Jobs by “Not Set”:

You can now filter jobs by “Not Set” on fields like Brand, Business Unit, and Region. Previously just a placeholder label, it now works like any other filter value and combines with others so isolating jobs with no brand assigned no longer means scrolling through heaps of results.

Constructive 2026.5 – Smarter access, sharper maintenance, and better-connected communication.

Constructive 2026.5 has now been released!

The Constructive 2026.5 release introduces a range of enhancements focused on giving builders finer control over who sees what, clearer visibility across the Maintenance lifecycle, and more reliable client communication. The standout addition is the new Interior Designer role, which lets builders bring external design studios into the portal safely and on their own terms. Alongside it you’ll find new maintenance statuses for tighter workflow tracking, a configurable Sales Agent Weekly Summary email, a new CX Journey report in the Intelligence menu, and a collection of refinements that reduce manual follow-ups and keep your team and clients working from the same, accurate information.

Enhancements:

New Feature! Interior Designer Role with Restricted Access:

The Constructive 2026.5 release gives builders finer control over who sees what, clearer visibility across the maintenance lifecycle, and more reliable client communication. The highlight is the new Interior Designer role, joined by new maintenance statuses, a configurable Sales Agent Summary email, a new CX Journey report, and a handful of refinements that cut manual follow-ups.

New Feature! Interior Designer Role with Restricted Access:

Builders who work with external interior design studios now have a purpose-built way to bring them into the portal. The new Interior Designer role gives studios a restricted, client-style view of only the jobs they’re assigned, with access to contract documents like specifications and plans while finance, approvals, and maintenance stay hidden. Designers can also make selections on a client’s behalf while those selections remain unlocked — no more shared logins or blanket access.

Feature request: https://support.constructivesoftware.com.au/a/forums/topics/62000186709

New CX Journey Report in Intelligence:

A new CX Journey report has been added to the Intelligence menu, giving builders a clear view of the customer experience journey directly within the portal. 

New Maintenance Statuses – “Requested Further Information” and “Client Cancelled”:

Two new maintenance defect statuses make it easier to see where each item stands. ‘Requested Further Information’ flags defects on hold pending a response from the client or Property Manager, while ‘Client Cancelled’ records when a client has asked for a defect not to proceed – rather than leaving it in limbo. Both improve reporting accuracy and visibility over the resolution process.

Add Status category “requested further information” : Constructive Software

Configurable Sales Agent Weekly Summary Email:

You can now manage the Sales Agent Summary email from the Settings portal. A new configuration under Settings >Portal > Activity switches it on or off, and when enabled you can choose which day it sends, defaulting to Thursday at 5pm AWST. The summary covers every active job where the recipient is the assigned Sales Agent, pulling together the past seven days of progress updates, documents, and photos.

Please email support to have your Sales Agent Activity Update email template made available.

Maintenance Dates Moved to Maintenance Tab:

Maintenance-related date fields were previously displayed under the Job Details tab, which made them difficult to locate and inconsistent with where users would naturally expect to find them. These fields have been relocated to the Maintenance tab, grouping all maintenance-related information in one place and improving the overall flow when managing maintenance on a job. All functionality, data, and references to these date fields – including forms, validations, and reports – remain fully intact following the move. Feature request: https://support.constructivesoftware.com.au/a/forums/topics/62000186605 

A Clearer View of Deleted Maintenance Defects:

Deleted maintenance defects now carry a clear “Deleted Defect” label in the Constructive Admin view. Previously they appeared greyed out with no obvious indication they’d been removed – the new label makes their status immediately obvious.

 

Multi-Select Job Filters:

The job filter screen now supports multi-select across more of its fields, in line with how the Job Status filter already works. You can choose multiple values at once, making it far easier to find groups of jobs that share more than one characteristic.

Username Pre-Filled at Registration:

The registration form now pre-populates the Username field with the email address entered, removing a manual step and encouraging consistency across the platform. The field stays editable for anyone who prefers a different username, making for a smoother sign-up and fewer login mix-ups.

Feature request: <https://constructivesoftware.freshdesk.com/a/forums/topics/62000186686>

Improvements:

A few smaller fixes round out the release. Render images on mobile now display correctly, with pinch-to-zoom and drag-to-pan restored. The ‘Internal Only’ comment option in To Do’s displays to admin-only as intended. Reordering dimension types within a house type now saves correctly after a refresh. The ‘Supervisor Photo Reminder’ now fires correctly when scheduled for a Sunday. And SVG files uploaded through Self-Styler, such as a favicon, now render correctly in the browser.

Constructive 2026.4 – Making everyday workflows faster and more consistent.

Constructive 2026.4 has now been released!

This release focuses on making everyday workflows faster and more consistent. Selections reports and permission controls have been tightened up across the board, and a handful of small but meaningful upgrades have been made to improve day-to-day operations. Read on for the full picture.

Enhancements:

Subtitles on suggested items

A new optional subtitle field is available on the Suggest Item form. Teams can include a short secondary descriptor – such as a model variant or brief tagline – alongside the main item title. The experience is unchanged when no subtitle is provided.

External references on suggested items

Builders can now attach external references required for Pricing Integration when submitting a new item suggestion. This reduces manual follow-up and helps administrators review and process suggestions more efficiently. To set up pricing integration, please email support or your CSM.

Per-item URL visibility control

URLs can now be hidden at the individual selection item choice level, without affecting other items in the same selection. This allows Builders more flexibility with the existing library items.

Report Setting – Prices Displayed Alignment

If pricing is disabled at the master template level, the “Prices Displayed” checkbox will automatically be greyed out and unavailable for selection in the job level report settings.

Price override labels can now be hidden.

Use the special character ‘?’ to suppress the default price override label on a selection choice, giving client-facing documents a cleaner look. Tooltip guidance is included in the interface.

Clearer two-factor authentication messaging

The wording around 2FA setup and removal has been updated to better explain login expectations, device limitations, and the security impact of disabling 2FA.

Improvements

Mood Board reports now include “other” items

Selected items categorised as “Other” now appear as expected in the Mood Board reports, and are not excluded.

3D model imports are more resilient to broken objects

Problematic or invalid/broken objects (within an IFC file) are now skipped, allowing the model to import successfully.

Deleted users are logged out automatically

Users removed by an administrator are now redirected to the login page immediately upon their next action.

Constructive 2026.3 – A boost to Mobile App Functionality & Selections Categories

Constructive 2026.3 has now been released!

This update marks a significant step forward in Mobile App functionality and Online Selection categories. In these notes, you’ll discover improvements that make sharing photos from the Mobile App easier, encourage App adoption from mobile web browsers, and introduce biometric login options for a smoother and safer sign in experience. We’ve also addressed inconsistencies in selection ordering and made improvements in the 3D component rendering. Read on for a detailed breakdown of what’s new.

Sharing photos just got easier on the Mobile App📲

We’ve made it simpler for your clients to share photos from their Constructive portal via Builder’s Native Mobile App. The previous Facebook only share option has been expanded to use the phone’s native share menu, giving client’s more flexibility to share images via apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.

Encouraging App Adoption on client’s web browsers📱

To help users take full advantage of the Mobile App experience, visitors to Constructive on a browser (accessed via their mobile) will now occasionally see a prompt to download the Builder’s Mobile App, where a native Builder App is available. With quick links to the App Store or Google Play, getting started is easy.
If the prompt is dismissed, it won’t appear again for 24 hours, and it will only display when app store links have been configured.

Client’s can stay up to date without interruption ✅

When a new version of the app is released, your clients will now receive a friendly reminder that an update is available. They’ll still be able to continue using the app, with a clear note to update, which can be configured from settings if required.

Biometric Login (Face ID / Touch ID) for extra security.

Mobile users can now use biometrics to sign back in when they’re logged out due to an expired session. After a successful login, eligible devices will prompt users to enable Face ID/Touch ID and securely store the needed sign-in details; next time they reach the login screen, they can authenticate with biometrics to log in faster. If a user logs out intentionally, they won’t be prompted to use biometrics.

In Online Selections the client’s view now matches admin ordering for item list selection categories.

We fixed an ordering inconsistency where item list selection categories could appear in a different (mixed) order in the Client View compared to the Admin selection template, particularly after adding an item list to a selection group. The Client View now follows the same category/selection group ordering defined in Admin, so customers see selection options presented in the expected sequence.
https://constructivesoftware.freshdesk.com/a/tickets/14429

Improvement in 3D Components: Selections now correctly apply surface/colour logic for cladding.

The backend selection-mapping logic has been sharpened to apply the same rule used elsewhere – when a “Cladding” surface type is selected, the corresponding “Colour” surface type behaviour is also applied so that 3D components render with the intended selection.

Constructive 2026.2 – Bringing enhancements designed to improve workflow efficiency.

The Constructive 2026.2 release brings enhancements designed to improve workflow efficiency, including a major highlight – the eagerly anticipated Multi-Attribute Item Selections for Clients. Task and maintenance processes have also been updated, with brand-specific To Do templates, improved visibility of deleted items, streamlined defect reporting, and new self-registration options for jobs in Maintenance status. These upgrades are intended to speed up project completion, minimise manual follow-ups, and ensure effective communication and involvement among all participants throughout the construction process.

New Feature! Multi-Attribute Items for Client Selections:

You can now group multiple related item choices into a single selection card instead of displaying them as separate items. For example, clients can select a profile first, then choose a finish from dropdown menus – all within one clear, connected card.

Grouping is driven by the Item Category, which defines the attributes used together.
A simple on/off setting is available on the selection template item to enable multi‑attribute grouping.

This results in a cleaner UI and a more intuitive selection flow for clients.
At this stage, multi‑attribute selections are enabled for the Item Category: Laminate Colours only.

We’ll continue expanding this functionality to additional item categories over time.
If you have categories you’d like enabled for multi‑attribute selections, please submit a support request with your suggested Item Categories so they can be prepared for this feature.

Brand/Region-Specific To Dos on Shared Progress Templates:

To Do tasks can now be configured to apply only to selected brands, regions, or business units, even when they live within a shared progress template. This adds flexibility for multi-brand and multi-region operations by ensuring To Dos only appear and trigger when the job matches the assigned brand/region/business unit, reducing noise for teams and allowing one standardised template to support localised workflows without duplicating templates. Feature Request: https://constructivesoftware.freshdesk.com/a/forums/topics/62000186729.  

Inactive Flag Added to To Do Templates:

A new “Inactive” flag will appear on the To Do template screen to clearly identify To Do items that are not active, matching the same visual/status pattern already used on the Progress Emails and Surveys screens. This helps users quickly distinguish active versus inactive templates at a glance—especially in cluttered lists—reducing confusion, avoiding accidental use of inactive items, and making ongoing template management faster and more consistent across the product.

Self-Styler: Repositionable Login Box on Login Page:

Self-Styler will now support configuring the placement of the login box on the login page, enabling builders to move the login menu to approved positions (left, center/middle, or right) to better match their desired branding and layout. This removes the previous fixed-position limitation and gives teams more flexibility to create login experiences that align with their site design standards without requiring custom workarounds.

Maintenance Keep Deleted Items Visible (Greyed Out):

We’re improving the maintenance list so that when a maintenance item is deleted, it remains in the list in a greyed-out/blocked state (similar to how completed or rejected items appear) rather than disappearing entirely. This preserves item numbering and historical visibility for clients and teams, reduces confusion when referencing prior items, and provides clearer context around what was removed without reintroducing the item as active work.
FEATURE REQUEST: https://support.constructivesoftware.com.au/a/forums/topics/62000186614

Maintenance: Add Submitted/Created/Last Change Dates in Builder View & Job Details:

We’re enhancing Maintenance and Job Details for builders by displaying key date fields—Submitted On, Created On (or an aliased/hidden version if it matches Submitted On), and Last Change—across both list and detail views to better track, prioritize, and audit work. This adds much-needed timeline visibility for active maintenance requests and makes it easier to identify what’s newest, what’s been waiting longest, and what has changed most recently (with an optional “Days Since Submitted” indicator to quickly assess aging).

Maintenance Wizard: “Add Another” for Back-to-Back Defect Submissions:

We’re adding an “Add Another” button to the final step of the Maintenance defect submission wizard so clients can log multiple defects consecutively without leaving the flow. After a successful submission, users will be able to either “Finish” (existing behavior) or click “Add Another” to reset the wizard back to step one and start a new defect entry immediately (clearing the prior form fields while optionally retaining any shared context), reducing friction and speeding up multi-defect reporting without a page reload.

Improvement: Self-Registration Enabled for Jobs in Maintenance Status:

Self-registration will be allowed for maintenance-status jobs, ensuring customers can onboard or re-engage clients at the right stage of the lifecycle without needing manual registration workarounds. This avoids the scenario where clients could not self-register for jobs that are in a Maintenance status, blocking builders who rely on self-registration during the maintenance phase.

Added Video Import Support to Integration:

Added video support to the existing Photo Gallery so builders can include videos alongside photos via integration. Builders should be able to add videos, see them displayed within the same gallery layout as images, and play them directly from the gallery without affecting current photo functionality or performance. Existing photo galleries must continue to work unchanged, with videos clearly identifiable and supported across devices.

Constructive 2026.1 – Kickstarting 2026 with enhancements to your Constructive Software.

This release brings together enhanced communication tools, streamlined reporting, and improved access for Sales Agents, all aimed at helping you stay on top of your workflow and keep client engagement front and centre. Whether you’re managing jobs, collecting feedback, or tracking activity, these new features and refinements are here to support your day-to-day operations. Dive in to discover what’s new.

Unified Communications Centre & Job Communication History.

We have introduced a new Communication area that combines emails and app notifications into a single, consistent experience across both Admin and Client portals. All previous references to “Emails” and “Notifications” have been standardised to “Communications,” including updated menus, pages, and links (with automatic redirects from old bookmarks). Users can now view a full history of communication sent on a job, including previously delivered app notifications, and can resend both emails and notifications directly from the job. This update also applies to progress stages, surveys, to-do items, reminders, and system-generated messages, ensuring a clearer and more complete record of client communication activity.  

Enhanced Survey Feedback & CSAT Reporting:

Surveys now support additional response types, including Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) ratings and free-text client feedback.

To enable additional survey reporting or access the survey data, please contact your CSM or support.

Feature request: https://constructivesoftware.freshdesk.com/a/forums/topics/62000186701

Activity Emails Now Send Even Without a Job Region:

Activity emails will now be sent even when a job does not have a region assigned. Previously, emails were not delivered because the system relied on the job’s region to determine time zone scheduling, which could lead to missed communications without clear visibility. The system now uses a company-level fallback region when none is set on the job, ensuring activity notifications are consistently delivered while maintaining correct timing behaviour.

New “Selections Process” Report Added:

A new report, Selections Process, has been added to the Intelligence menu, positioned directly below the existing Selections Log report. This report provides detailed insights into the selection’s workflow, helping teams better understand and optimise the decision-making process. Access permissions mirror those of the other Selections reports, ensuring secure and consistent visibility for authorised users.

Engagement Report Update:

Engagement By Month table now includes Mobile App %. This displays the percentage of client page views where they were logged in via the Mobile App. Desktop % has been removed from the table.
Active Client Count by Year, Month and Mobile App / Browser chart added. This displays a count over time of jobs where the client logged in by use of Mobile App or Browser.

Sales Agents Can Now Access Job Dashboards:

Sales Agents now have access to the full job dashboard, allowing them to view the same insights as other users for jobs they are assigned to. This update does not change the layout or functionality of the dashboard for other roles, ensuring a consistent experience while giving Sales Agents better visibility into job progress and key metrics.

“Mark as Resolved” Removed for Sales Agents:

Sales Agents can no longer mark messages as “Resolved” in the Messages area. This action is now restricted to designated roles only, ensuring that resolution tracking remains accurate and controlled. The Messages interface has been updated so that Sales Agents will not see the “Resolve” button or menu action, while all other functionality remains unchanged.

Also, this release includes a range of platform improvements, updates, and fixes to keep your experience smooth, secure, and up to date.

Constructive 2025.10 – Dive in and experience the Constructive upgrade that’s set to make your projects quicker, easier, and a whole lot more enjoyable!

Constructive release 2025.10 introduces a range of improvements aimed at enhancing user onboarding, simplifying workflow management, and improving platform usability. The update features a secure invitation process, more efficient filter management, and upgraded communication tools, offering a smoother experience across all modules. Additional updates include bulk notifications to keep teams informed, clearer reporting layouts, and several fixes to support the day-to-day work of builders, administrators, and clients. Explore the latest enhancements designed to help your projects run more smoothly and efficiently.

New User Introduction Email:

A new user invitation email has been introduced to provide a more secure and welcoming way for builders to onboard staff into Constructive, where not using SSO. Builders can now invite new users via an email that guides them to create their own account and password in a single step, removing the need to share passwords or use workaround reset links. To activate this new function, please email su*****@**********************om.au   New User Introduction

“Clear All Filters” Functionality Across All Search Bars:

Introduces a universally accessible “Clear All Filters” button near search bars or filter sections on all pages, allowing users to reset all applied filters to their default state for easier navigation and improved efficiency. Special attention is given to maintenance pages—where search is often collapsed—to ensure the button is visible even in collapsed states. The enhancement emphasises UI consistency and accessibility, enabling users to clear filters without page reloads unless needed. 

 

Maintenance Bulk Notification Comment Propagation:

Ensures that when a Notify Client is checked during a bulk action for Maintenance Items, the comment is automatically applied to each individual maintenance item affected by the bulk action (along with the existing bulk notification email), improving traceability, audit history, and efficiency by reducing manual effort and ensuring consistent communication across all selected items.

Ability to create a new message from the Job Details screen:

Introduces a blue “+” (New Message) button on the Job Details screen, enabling Builders to start a new message thread directly with their clients. Once sent, the message will appear in the Messages list for that job, and an email notification will be sent to the client upon message creation.

3D – Model Edit Screen – Select Component by selecting the selections associated with that component:

Updates the house model edit screen so builders and contract administrators can reference the associated selection names, reducing confusion from component names. This approach streamlines the experience for builders, who will typically only see selections relevant to their templates, minimising the need to consider component details.

Selections: Show Suggested Item Icon at Selection Level:

Updates the selection template screen to display the Suggested Item icon at the selection level, allowing clients to quickly identify which selections have items pending approval, instead of only seeing the icon at the individual item level. This aids usability and improves oversight of selection approval status.

Item List – Ability to suggest an item from the items list:

Adds the option to suggest an item directly from the ITEMS LIST tab, matching the existing functionality available in the items tab under selection templates. This enhancement allows users to efficiently propose items from the main item list, improving workflow consistency and ease of use.

Performance Enhancement – Inactive Survey Reminder Emails:

 An issue was fixed where “Outstanding Survey” reminder emails were sent to clients even after a survey was marked inactive. The reminder logic has been updated so emails are only sent for active surveys, preventing reminders for surveys that are no longer in use.

Performance Enhancement – Report Layout Spacing and Readability:

Report layouts have been enhanced to improve readability and clarity, particularly for longer documents. Major sections now include block-coloured headers to better separate categories, with key column headers such as QTY and PRICE repeated within each section to maintain context across pages. These updates align with the existing report design system and have been implemented without impacting print formatting or page integrity, ensuring a clearer experience for both digital and printed reports.

Constructive 2025.9 – Smarter selection customisation, improved reporting flexibility, and smoother job management.

This release introduces a range of enhancements and fixes designed to make selections, reporting, and job management more flexible and user-friendly. Highlights include the ability for selections consultants and builders to easily customise “Other” selection items with bespoke images and labels, improved template and reporting options with new pricing display controls, and streamlined management of To Do templates and progress ordering. Several improvements have been made to search functionality, parent-child job toggling, user interface clarity, and mobile usability. These updates aim to provide a smoother and more efficient experience across the platform, catering to the specific needs of both builders and clients.

JOB Editable “Other” Selection Items:

Selections consultants can now customise “Other” choices at the job level by assigning an image directly onto the item and overriding its display name. This allows builders—especially smaller ones without full library coverage—to quickly add bespoke items with their own images and labels. The uploaded image is saved against the job’s selection choice and used throughout the UI and reporting, making job selections more flexible and accurate.  

Selections Template – Builder Custom Item – Assign Image:

Builders can assign images to their own custom items directly within their selection templates. This allows builders to include unique options—such as staircases or cabinetry—that are specific to their projects without adding them to the main item library. The uploaded images are automatically processed and linked to the custom item, making it easy to visually represent these options in selections while keeping the item library clean and manageable. Note: Custom items can still not be priced.

Reports – Addenda – Prices Displayed Option:

A new “Prices Displayed” checkbox has been added when generating addenda, allowing users to choose whether pricing is included in the document. This removes the need for multiple templates and manual oversight, enabling faster and more flexible addenda creation for internal use, subcontractors, or suppliers, all from a single template.

Prices Embed Report & Intelligence Menu Update:

A new Prices report has been added to the Intelligence menu. The menu has also been reordered for improved usability, with the new sequence: Engagement, Jobs, Messages, To Do, Surveys, Photos, Documents, Selections, Selections Log, Pricing, and Maintenance.

To Do Template List – Ordering & Linked Progress Items:

Admins can now organise To Do template items using drag-and-drop ordering, ensuring items appear in the intended sequence rather than alphabetically. This ordering is managed exclusively in Admin and is applied automatically when templates are used in jobs. Linked progress items now display in the same order as defined in the Progress Template, making setup clearer and more intuitive.

To Do – Progress View Ordering:

Fixed an issue where linked progress items in the To Do view appeared in the wrong order; they now display in the same sequence as defined by the Progress Template ranking, ensuring stages like Sales appear in their intended position.

Selections Improvement – Search for Items in Packages:

Users can now search for product codes and item names when adding them to packages within a selection template. This enhanced search functionality aligns with the main selection template, making the process smoother and more consistent.

Jobs Improvement – Parent-Child Job Toggle:

Builders can now seamlessly toggle between parent and child jobs when both jobs are linked. This improved functionality allows users to access and switch between both jobs as expected in parent-child job setups, enhancing workflow efficiency and ease of use.

Package Selection Popup Wording – Updated:

The selection confirmation pop-up has been updated to display clearer, more user-friendly wording. It now reads: “You are making a selection outside of your package. Do you wish to continue?” for any choices, improving clarity for users.

Additional Improvements:

  • Message tab comments now reliably show to clients after 17 comments.
  • 3D decorations, lights, and cameras are correctly reset when using the Clear function, providing a consistent workspace.
  • Mobile users can now smoothly exit the email preview, streamlining navigation and user experience.
