App and system development for construction companies

Construction companies commission software to bring site operations under control: daily reports, manpower tracking, progress claims, defects, safety inspections and document control. Users are often on site with patchy connectivity, gloves on and little patience for complex forms. Data must flow back to project managers and finance for claims and cost control. Developers without construction experience may build office-style systems that site supervisors will not adopt, leaving paper forms in use alongside an expensive new app.

In short: Construction companies usually need mobile forms for daily site reports, inspections and defects with photo capture and offline use with sync when connectivity returns from a app and system development provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.

What construction companies need from app and system development

  • Mobile forms for daily site reports, inspections and defects with photo capture
  • Offline use with sync when connectivity returns
  • Manpower and attendance tracking across multiple sites
  • Document control for drawings, RFIs and approvals
  • Exports or integration for progress claims and accounting

Questions to ask a provider

  1. How does the app behave on site with poor or no connectivity?
  2. Have your systems been adopted by site supervisors, and how did you train them?
  3. Can it integrate with our accounting or project costing tools?
  4. Would an existing construction platform suit us better than a custom build?

Pitfalls to avoid

  • Interfaces too complex for site use, so supervisors revert to paper or chat groups
  • Photos and documents stored without structure, making them useless in disputes
  • Custom builds that recreate common features of established construction software
