Case Study — Stay on Schedule: Eliminating Field Delays for Mid-Size Contractors

Contractor
Mid-size General Contractor

Project
Mixed-use mid-rise development (residential over retail)

Solution

GoBuid Platform includes:

• Live site updates (progress % & tasks )
• Track Map (manpower & equipment)
• Embedded task comments with file uploads

Issues

• Crews fall behind when the office lacks real-time status updates that trickle in via texts, paper & email
• PMs scramble to reassign labor or equipment after discovering delays days later
• Site-to-office hand-offs create blind spots, causing safety or quality hold-points to cascade

Goals

• Surface site issues the moment they occur to prevent delays
• Keep crews productive with instant visibility into manpower & equipment
• Enable project leaders to make proactive, on-the-fly adjustments

Steps to Success

1. Kick-off & Setup 

• Integrate project info, progress tracking items, and task list 
• Download the GoBuid app for the crew to update on-site

2. Field Roll-out

• Crews update tasks & manpower/equipment usage in-app as work completes

3. Dashboard Configuration

• Overdue/missed tasks automatically send notifications to doers and watchers.
• Utilize built-in comments/attachments with tasks, no more scattered update channels

4. Monitor & Adapt

• Daily and weekly review: allocate tasks, manpower, and equipment resources based on data. 

Outcomes (first 4 weeks)

• 80% fewer site-to-office delays, with live updates replacing end-of-day reports
• 50% fewer construction defects, thanks to instant equipment status & task-completion alerts
• 3× faster team communication with visibility—issues surface in minutes instead of days

Benefits

• On-time milestones become the norm, not the exception
• Proactive resource management slashes downtime and emergency mobilizations
• Sharper safety & quality control as hold-point delays get flagged—and closed—immediately
• Data-driven scheduling gives leadership confidence in data-driven decisions
• Scalable model for any build type: residential, commercial fit-out, or core & shell
