BuildTrack — Construction Project Management
A project management platform for construction firms with real-time progress tracking, resource allocation, and automated compliance documentation.
Project Overview
BuildTrack is a construction project management platform designed for a mid-size general contractor managing 85+ simultaneous residential and commercial projects. The system tracks project timelines via Gantt charts, manages resource allocation across sites, processes daily field reports with photo documentation, and generates compliance paperwork automatically. IoT sensor integration provides real-time environmental monitoring on active sites. The React frontend works offline for field crews, syncing data when connectivity returns.

On-Time Delivery
Project managers relied on paper-based daily reports, phone calls for updates, and manual spreadsheets for resource planning. Budget overruns averaged 18% and schedule delays affected 40% of projects.
Paper-based daily field reports with 2-3 day lag before reaching the office
Resource conflicts discovered only after crews arrived at the wrong site
Budget overruns averaging 18% due to lack of real-time cost visibility
Compliance documentation prepared manually, causing 3-week delays on inspections
We built an offline-capable progressive web app for field crews and a real-time dashboard for project managers. IoT sensors on equipment and environmental monitors feed data directly into the platform.
Designed offline-first PWA with background sync for field crews in low-connectivity zones
Integrated IoT sensors for equipment utilization tracking and environmental monitoring
Built automated resource scheduling with conflict detection across all active sites
Created auto-generated compliance documents from structured field report data
BuildTrack digitized field operations across 85+ projects and reduced budget overruns from 18% to under 4%. On-time project delivery improved to 97%, and project managers reclaimed an average of 4 hours daily from manual reporting.
Budget overruns reduced from 18% average to under 4%
On-time delivery rate improved from 60% to 97%
Daily field reports now submitted in real-time with photo documentation
Compliance document preparation reduced from 3 weeks to 2 days
Technologies Used
“We used to find out about problems three days after they happened. BuildTrack gives us live visibility into every site. The budget savings alone in the first year covered twice the cost of the entire platform.”
