Understanding the project layout in 60 seconds

Recognise the four primary screens of any modern construction field app: home, projects, inspections, settings.

Practical steps

  1. 1

    Note the bottom navigation. Most apps put project navigation on the left and account or settings on the right.

  2. 2

    Open the home tab. This shows your assigned work plus anything synced overnight.

  3. 3

    Open the projects tab. This is where you switch between live sites if you work on more than one.

  4. 4

    Open the inspections or issues tab. This is the working area where 70 percent of your daily taps happen.

  5. 5

    Open settings. Confirm offline mode is enabled and notifications are on for assignments.

Key takeaways

  • Four screens cover 95 percent of daily use. Anything else is a feature you might never need.
  • Offline mode must be enabled before you leave Wi-Fi on day one.
  • Notifications for assignments matter, notifications for marketing do not.
