Project management - Collaborate effectively and reduce errors and rework to ensure your construction projects stay on track. With streamlined communication and collaboration tools, all project stakeholders can stay informed and aligned throughout the project lifecycle.

RFIs - Efficiently manage construction RFIs in one platform, connecting them to other tasks across the project lifecycle, reducing the risk of data loss and improving workflows. Customise your RFI process, track their status and progress them seamlessly with multi-step reviews and colour-coded indicators.

Submittals - Efficiently manage and track submittal items in a single log, streamlining the approval process and ensuring all team members have an opportunity to review and comment. Seamlessly track submittal progress with automated transition dates and access approved submittals on the go with the mobile app.

Meeting minutes - Improve meeting collaboration and productivity by providing visibility into commitments made, an organised history of all meeting records and the ability to assign action items to individuals, roles or companies. Users can create agendas, schedule follow-ups, send email notifications, integrate virtual meetings and track action items to completion, ensuring decisions made during meetings are actionable and accountable.

Daily reports - Create customised construction reports in minutes using default templates and project data, then share them with team members to keep everyone updated on work progress. With automated scheduled reporting, gain visibility into project issues, trends, and patterns and optimise project outcomes for better project visibility and time savings.

Project tracking - Enables easy tracking of installation activities on a construction project by completion percentage, measurement or object count, helping teams adjust schedules dynamically and provide accurate progress updates. Object types are first configured in the progress tracking tool, and objects are then tracked using the markup functionality in the Sheets tool.

Schedule - Centralised schedule management allows for real-time visibility into project schedules, improving collaboration and increasing transparency. By storing all schedule information in a cloud-based platform, miscommunication and misalignment can be avoided. The platform includes robust permission controls and commenting features and allows for Gantt or list views and real-time updates for field teams.

Quality - By adopting a proactive approach, ensure quality management throughout the construction process, from design to handover. Gain visibility into potential issues and resolve them before they become major problems, reducing rework and keeping your construction projects on track.

Quality planning - Tailor forms and establish standard data-gathering practices. Customise quality and safety forms to align with the specific requirements of your construction project, guaranteeing the capture of all essential project data.

QA/QC - Digital construction quality checklists allow for standardisation of quality inspection processes, resolving issues more quickly and reducing rework. With the ability to access and conform to all quality standards using any device and add notes, signatures and photos during inspections, the entire team can improve collaboration and generate issues for non-conforming items.

Punchlists - Efficiently complete construction projects and ensure compliance with easy-to-use punch lists and digital closeout tools. Connect relevant information to your forms, such as documents, notes, and job site photos, and tie them to specific locations on sheets or markups for better context and accuracy.

Issue management - Manage issues throughout the project lifecycle. Quickly create issues on the web or mobile, add photos or documents and track them from design to handover, all in one place. You can also generate summary or detailed issue reports and schedule regular reports to improve accountability and transparency.

Safety planning - Ensure safety and prevent risky situations at construction sites by creating and executing standardised safety plans for your projects. Distribute safety checklists and incident reports to provide a project-wide view of safety program conformance, helping prevent safety blind spots and promoting effective construction safety planning.

Safety training - Encourage team members to take ownership of safety on construction sites by implementing a standardised and easy-to-adopt safety program that involves everyone.

Safety observations - Use mobile devices to log safety issues and incidents, monitor project safety performance and improve site safety.
