What it is: An app that allows multiple parties to collaborate and share project plans on construction jobs.
What it does: When working together on a project, a team can share plans, blueprints, specs and photos with one another. By simply uploading PDF documents and photos, they will be shared and automatically sync to everyone’s devices in real time. Progress photos will be pinned directly onto blueprints and there is an automatic hyperlinking of all detail callout. Additionally, issues can be created and tracked with a customizable “punchlist” tool.
Who it’s for: Designers, contractors, architects and homeowners
Why kitchen and bath designers need it: Because remodeling and construction is difficult enough without a clear path of communication. This app provides a way to streamline the process and share information with all involved in the project. This tool can keep everyone on the same page and help avoid costly errors.
