Our architect office has been using LetsBuild for one year and we continually discover new opportunities… A major advantage is that you have all documents and plans with you in digital format on a tablet – no more carrying heavy ring binders on site. In addition, all documents are constantly accessible via the cloud. The layout of the reports can easily be changed according to the phase of the project: intermediate reports, site reports, lists upon completion, personalised lists etc. An indispensable tool in these times of rapid communication

USE CASE
Manage the handover process efficiently
The admin burden involved in creating the final handover report on a project is immense. Multiple sources and channels of information, to-do’s and status updates going back and forth at a dizzying speed and multiple coordination meetings make it a cumbersome and time-consuming process in most cases.
With LetsBuild, architects and other client advisors can:
- Identify defects by inspecting the site together with the client
- List defects by creating points “Observed” in the app
- Send them to the contractor who distributes tasks to subcontractors
- Receive notification when tasks are done, check and mark them “Closed”
- Quickly print and distribute the handover report to stakeholders
USE CASE
Improve your drawings approval process
There can be many reasons to change project drawings. RFI’s, design changes, client wishes, material changes, etc. can lead to new drawings being issued. But in all cases, drawings have to be approved by the consulting engineer and the flow back and forth of different versions cause a lot of admin work and potentially confusion and errors.
With LetsBuild, engineers can:
- Receive a drawing for approval from designers electronically
- Check the new drawing and issue “to-do’s” to designers if needed
- Set status “Closed” once the adapted drawing has been approved
- Instantly distribute the new drawing to contractors
- Easily create a control report
USE CASE
Share documents efficiently
Sharing different versions of documents and drawings is challenging, particularly when it comes to ensuring that everyone is working to the same version. LetsBuild allows architects to easily share new versions of drawings without worrying that site teams or other project stakeholders are working to the wrong version.
With LetsBuild, architects can:
- Issue a drawing electronically with immediate distribution
- Automatically notify the client or project manager of changes
- Share new versions in real time - versions can be compared in the app
- Let contractor teams download the drawings for offline use
- Feel safe that documents are only accessible based on access rights
