Construction field management software
A day on the job, on one record.
Daily logs from the truck, inspections in the field, RFIs and submittals routed to the right reviewer, and a critical-path schedule the whole team reads — every item showing who has the ball.
A day on the job
Tuesday, October 20.
Five moments from one Tuesday at Riverside Medical Office, an example project. Same record from 6:30 in the morning to the PM's sign-off.
AM
Daily logs
The daily log starts from the truck.
Before the first crew signs in, the superintendent opens today's log on a phone: weather, crews and hours by company, work performed, deliveries. It fills in as the day goes, not from memory at 6 PM.
AM
Inspections
A pre-pour inspection, item by item.
The checklist comes from a template. Each item is marked pass or fail; a failure creates a follow-up for the responsible company, and the re-inspection is one click once it's fixed.
PM
RFIs
An RFI to the architect, in one pass.
The failed embed needs a design answer. Write the question, pick who answers, set the due date, flag cost and schedule impact, and send. One screen, not five.
PM
Submittals
A submittal comes back: revise and resubmit.
The architect's review uses fixed responses, so there's no guessing what “noted” meant. The ball moves back to the electrical sub for revision 1, and revision 0 stays on the record.
PM
Daily logs
The day's log is on the record.
The superintendent finishes the day — crews, work, deliveries, the morning's inspection. The log saved as he typed, every sitting is kept as a version, and the day's PDF files itself in Documents.
Ball in court
Always know who is holding it — and for how long.
Every RFI, submittal and punch item carries one owner at a time. Each hand-off is timestamped, so the time an item spends with each company is measured, not argued about.

- The right reviewer, every time
- RFIs go to the people you pick and reach their Inbox at once; submittals run GC review, then design review.
- Overdue rises to the top
- The Inbox shows everything waiting on you across every project, overdue first.
- Durations on every item
- Sent to answered, submitted to approved — measured by party, across every job.
