Business Situation and Requirements

Construction technology companies often struggle with fragmented communication across architects, engineers, contractors, and clients. These gaps lead to delays, document version conflicts, poor defect tracking, and inefficient task coordination. Integrating multiple tools while maintaining regulatory compliance and delivering timely, accurate information to field teams adds further complexity.

To support construction professionals with project documentation, Docu Tools had built a web-based application that served its users well in the early stages of growth. Over time, as customers began executing larger, more complex construction initiatives, the platform’s legacy architecture revealed its limitations, particularly in handling advanced documentation workflows and on-site usage. Recognizing these constraints as a barrier to scale and user experience, Docu Tools initiated a modernization effort to future-proof the platform and extend its functionality to mobile devices.

Their key requirements were:

  • Develop a Mobile App for Project Management: Build a mobile app for construction supervision tightly integrated with the existing web platform.

  • Seamless PDF Handling: Support efficient rendering of large PDF documents on mobile devices.

  • 3D Plan Optimization: Enable smooth viewing of complex 3D construction plans while optimizing device memory and performance.

  • Split-Screen Functionality: Allow simultaneous visualization of multiple construction sites on a single mobile device.

  • High Accuracy in Project Plans: Ensure precise measurements and details within project plans for reliable decision-making.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Streamlined Documentation: Simplify workflows while ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
