Construction task management

Coordinate company, project and personal construction tasks by phase in one dispatch list, with multiple assignees, subcontractors, checkpoints, progress and controlled acceptance.

Construction task management: how it works in Home Builder Software

Under Planning and team, company, project and personal work sits in one list that dispatch and management see in full. Status, project and responsible person are filterable, and the Nobody assigned filter surfaces work that has not been picked up yet. Instead of a whiteboard and a phone round, the office can see which trade still lacks an owner while there is still time to fix it.

Tasks hang under a phase, the summary bar of the schedule such as shell, fit-out or handover, and picking a schedule activity fills that phase in so nobody names it twice. One task can belong to several people; whoever is chosen first leads and appears in narrow lists and one-line reminders. The executing subcontractor field is a different thing: it only makes the task visible in that subcontractor’s portal, while responsibility stays in house.

Checkpoints decide what may happen next. While one is unanswered, the task cannot be submitted for review or set to done, and that rule holds for the one-click button in the list, for the status field on the detail page and for the server, so an edited form field cannot skip it. Acceptance either waits for a superintendent decision, which notifies everyone holding workforce management rights, or the answered checkpoints are the review. Every approval and rejection is logged with person and time.

Construction task management in the daily routine

Dispatch opens the list filtered to a project, starts a task from the schedule activity that needs doing and lets the phase come across with it. Several people are assigned, the first of them leading, and an executing subcontractor is named when the work goes out of house. Checkpoints are written while the task is still on paper, not after the fact. Rejection sends the task back with a reason and notifies everyone assigned.
