Hi.

Nothing like best software as such in market. Please confirm the purpose of usage.

According to my knowledge MS Project and Primavera are more suitable for the present construction market.

This is related to your job application, in this case I know MS-Project and Primavera as management softwares and Solibri, Synchro, Navisworks 4D and 5D software that they are really useful.

In India the project managers (construction managers) like most of construction managers in other countries in general use Microsoft Project (MS Project), Primavera Proect Planner (3P) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) as the most popular and most used software. But selection of the software depends on the size and complicity level of the project and the service needed for the project. Building projects require the interaction and coordination of various stakeholders during all stages of the project life. In present scenarios, the project team members are often geographically separated and their successful management can be enhanced by effective communication management. Construction organisations have long started the adoption of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) and to this end, have enjoyed some early benefits directed related to information processing. However ICT can only be used effectively and wholly, if the associated communication protocols are defined and adopted by the construction industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) constitute the majority of the construction industry and communication protocols need to address the IT capabilities, project management practices and communication requirements of these SMEs. as a sample here I present a research study on construction project management routines and problems that are being encountered by small to medium sized enterprises in the Indian building industry, in order to identify communication protocols with better adaptability and improved effectiveness. As part of an on-going research, the literature study and the survey based methodological approach are discussed here. A study of supply chains for project management in the context of building applications and the potential strategies of developing communication protocols using available and emerging ICT tools are also outlined with a focus on the research methodology for developing protocols for ICT enhanced approaches through structural modelling techniques and surveys to the building industry. SMEs occupy a critical role as subcontractors and suppliers in the building construction supply chain. However, given the number of specialist firms operating within the sector, this presents considerable challenges in terms of improving project performance through better supplier integration and ensuring process conformity and alignment. Empirical evidence suggests that there is a potential to make significant improvements in construction supply chain performance in India. In conclusion depends on the size, importance and the budget of the project, you can select one the above-mentioned software or about 5 more similar software.

I hope I gave useful information to you.

Good luck
