Easy construction
Overview
If you've ever managed the task of renovating, building, or repairing a space, you know how complicated it can be. Whether it's a simple project like a bathroom renovation or a more complex undertaking such as constructing your dream house, managing all the details can be overwhelming. Typically, you either lose track of time, expenses, and quality, hoping for the best outcome, or you find yourself juggling dozens of different tools—ranging from spreadsheets to group chat apps, and folders upon folders of pictures and documents. Easy Construction offers you peace of mind by consolidating all the necessary functionalities into a single platform. The app features: - Cost estimation; - Step-by-step planning; - Progress tracking; - In-app chat for seamless communication with professionals; - A centralized hub for all your important files. You can choose to manage everything yourself or invite the professionals working on the project to create their own accounts within the app. Rest assured, once they experience the ease of documenting progress and keeping you informed through the app, they'll never want to manage a project any other way again.
Challenge
Although the app's objective may sound simple, its realization involved a complex set of steps. After all, construction management is anything but easy. Our first hurdle was to comprehend the best practices of a sound construction process. This knowledge would later be integrated into the app, offering users a workflow rooted in genuine civil engineering expertise, thus setting them on the path to success. To gain this insight, we conducted extensive interviews with dozens of construction engineers. This helped us understand their operational needs and identify what we had to aim to automate in the app. Once we had a clear understanding of the construction process, our next challenge was to simplify this complexity into a user-friendly interface. The goal was to mask the intricate details while highlighting the essential information users would need when managing their projects. Real-world testing was the final, crucial step. We deployed the app on both ongoing and newly initiated construction projects to validate our assumptions. This hands-on experience led to numerous discoveries and enhancements to the app's functionality. After overcoming these challenges, we were proud to release the final version to our clients, confident that it would meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
Client Feedback
"When we began thinking of turning our idea into an app we genuinely thought it wouldn't be possible to translate all of these complex engineering steps into a software. Fortunately we decided to try it, and that's how we found Artica. They managed to capture each of our client's necessities and create a user experience that made it easy for anyone to manage civil construction planning, which was exactly our dream."
