Gridline Prime Contractors transformed their operation from manual site visit into a high-visibility "construction workspace." By digitizing site records and productivity, all the site data across multiple jobsite are able to be viewed in one dashboard. This doesn't just cut down travel time; it enables directors to make high-impact decisions that reduce project risks and maximize profitability.
“With GoBuid, I can control 15+ jobsite at the same time. All the data is in my phon—no longer waste 3 hours a day driving between locations.”
The Problem: Multiple Jobsite MGMT > Document Chasing > Accountability Gap > Margin Erosion > Liquidated Ascertained Damages (LAD)
In the United States construction landscape, managing multiple sites is difficult. Some of the states take more than 10 hours to cross the entire state. So imagine having 10-15 projects across the entire state, how long does it take to completely visit all the sites to update the project status. Not to mention some of the projects might be in another state. When it takes time to update the site progress, how come a director can make an instant decision to solve a problem on site.
- The Accountability Gap: It starts in the group chat. A task is mentioned, but without a clear owner or due date, follow-ups disappear into the chat history. Weeks later, the work is still not done because everyone thought "someone else was doing it."
- The Needle-in-a-Haystack Problem: Because those chat records weren't organized, they become impossible to find 1–3 years later. When a dispute arises or a claim needs proof, you realize your evidence is buried in a resigned staff member's phone.
- Margin Erosion: To fix the record gap, teams stay until 9 PM catching up on admin work. As labor costs and overtime (OT) spike just to handle paperwork, your project margins begin to "bleed."
- Consultant Pressure: Eventually, the inconsistent reporting catches up to you. You receive warning letters and threats of Liquidated Ascertained Damages (LAD) because you can't prove progress, driving your stress levels through the roof.
The Solution: Automation & Visibility > Less Site Travel > Less Admin > More Control> Better Decision Making
Gridline Prime implemented the GoBuid Construction Workspace, which replaces the traditional tracking method (site visit, paper form and group chat) with a unified system of centralize dashboard, smart forms, auto reminders and construction reporting.
1.Track Map: Gain a high-level view of your entire portfolio on one centralized map. Instantly access real-time data and project status for every site under your management with a single click.
Value: Control. Management moves from "guessing" to "knowing." By having a bird’s-eye view of multiple projects, you can identify site delays or resource gaps instantly, ensuring every job site stays on track without you needing to be there in person.
2. Worker-Friendly Forms: A mobile-first experience designed for the field, using photos, checklists, and intuitive inputs for maximum ease of use.
Value: Control. By making it effortless for workers to update tasks, management receives a constant stream of high-quality onsite data. This grants the leadership team total visibility into quality, safety, and productivity.
3. Automate Reminder in Workflows: Assign every task a clear owner and a specific due date. The system enforces the completion rate by automated reminders that ensure no critical update ever "dies" in a group chat.
Value: Reduce Risk. This ensures that everyone receives the message and gets informed properly, reducing the chance of tasks being incomplete. Make sure no project delay and lost records.
4. Claim Ready Report: Every submission is automatically organized by project, location, and trade, creating a permanent trail of searchable evidence. These records can be converted into audit-ready PDF reports with just one click.
Value: Save/Earn Money. Safety evidence can be generated into an audit-ready and claim-ready report in five minutes instead of hours of searching. The company can substantiate every claim, ensuring they claim the money every time.
