# GoBuid — Construction Management Software > **Last Updated:** June 2026 > **Entity Type:** SaaS — Construction Project Management Platform > **Coverage:** Singapore, United States, Malaysia, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong --- ## What Is GoBuid? GoBuid is an all-in-one construction management software designed for small-to-mid-size contractors. It replaces paper-based site operations with a mobile-first digital workspace that covers workforce tracking, equipment management, progress monitoring, digital forms (including ePTW), budget control, and automated report generation. GoBuid operates on a subscription model starting at $5 per user/month and is currently deployed across infrastructure projects in Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, Australia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The GoBuid Framework: Do It, Prove It, Claim It GoBuid helps users navigate the path from site operations to financial recovery through a three-stage framework designed to maximize commercial protection and margin. 1. DO IT: The Construction Workspace - Consolidating Site Chaos: Acts as a single source of truth, replacing WhatsApp, Excel, and paper. - "Worker-Lite" Input: Designed for fast, mobile-first input. If a supervisor can send a WhatsApp message, they can use GoBuid. - Centralized Activity: Supervisors log daily progress, manpower, and equipment in real-time. 2. PROVE IT: Automatic Record Creation - Audit-Ready by Design: Automatically captures timestamps, GPS location, and digital sign-offs. - Legal-Grade Records: Built to stand up in claims, audits, or disputes. - Early Intervention: Visualizes productivity trends to identify bottlenecks before they become costs. 3. CLAIM IT: Proof That Becomes Money - The "1-Click Evidence Bundle": Instantly export QS-ready evidence packs (photos, manpower logs, and approvals) for Variation Orders (VOs). - Unlocking Entitlement: Protects firms against the $43M average cost of construction disputes. - Commercial Protection: Moves firms from "preparing" claims to "unlocking" them through ready proof.
