Whether it’s the construction of a single-family home in a remote location, a housing project in the center of Paris, or a more complex project (e.g., a bridge or a public works contract), every project must be rigorously monitored.

The follow-up stages of a construction project require the organization of on-site visits, from the start of the works right through to completion, acceptance and delivery. These visits enable the project manager and the owner to check the progress of the work in progress, its conformity with the execution plans, and any measures put in place to ensure the safety of the site and its equipment, or to prevent anomalies that could give rise to legal or financial disputes and lead to the site being shut down.

For each of these stages, a number of stakeholders may be invited to a site visit. In practice, all the service providers involved in the project can be approached by the project manager during a site visit: architect, builder, construction company, but also the owner of the house or building, and so on.

For all site visits and at every meeting, it is essential to have a tool for centralizing and making available to all contractors the documents they need to visit the site (plans, technical notices, reports, etc.), and to draw up detailed site visit reports giving a clear, unambiguous and precise overview of the construction site’s progress.

For all job sites, WCS Field Service offers a wide range of functions that enable you to achieve this goal using a simple tablet, whether online or offline. Here are just a few examples:

• Pre-filled fields can be used to automatically fill in the meeting number and title, the date and time of the visit, and the GPS coordinates of the visit location.
• Project details (customer name, address, etc.) and previous reports can be imported from a database. Photos can be inserted to illustrate the progress of the work. These same photos can be annotated, as can the plans of the work.
• By capturing signatures, we can attest to the presence of different people.
• Last but not least, site visit reports are fully customizable and instantly distributed to the various parties involved (owner, architect, builder or construction company, site manager, equipment manager, etc.).
