Keeping track of construction progress is often a matter of waiting for engineers and site supervisors to walk the site and document it when they can. Getting that data into the general project pipeline is a challenge in itself.
“The manual process is tedious for us. It’s very time consuming to send personnel to the jobsite and track everything on job, marking it off on an iPad,” says Chad Krause, vice president of operations at general contractor Build Group. His firm had tried other work-tracking methods, but came across the Israel-based startup Buildots last year.
