01 . About the Client
BuildScan offers construction-related services with its offices in London, United Kingdom.
Project Brief
Our client wanted to develop an app to streamline construction projects by offering a project management toolset specifically optimized for the construction niche. As a construction management niche app, it required close coordination with the client to understand the needs of construction managers and common issues that arise during such projects. With continuous coordination, we developed cross-platform apps using React Native and related technologies.

Challenges & Roadblocks
Construction project management can be complex, and developing an app that addresses all major concerns in a typical construction project while keeping it accessible to non-technical people was challenging. We closely coordinated with technical persons and continuously improved the UI/UX of the app to make it more accessible to the users.
The Result
The app has successfully carved out a niche in the construction management tools market. It is available on Google Play, Apple App Store, and on the web.
