Construction projects demand speed, accuracy, and coordination across multiple offices and job sites. One of KIT’s clients, a $40M construction company, struggled with fragmented planning data, job photos scattered across foremen’s iPhones, disconnected CRM and cost-estimating tools, and unreliable communication.
KIT migrated their planning data to a cloud-based platform connected to AI-powered infrastructure, enabling real-time access, smarter job costing, and seamless collaboration across offices and field teams, while securing all sensitive data.
The Challenges
🌐 Multi-Office Real-Time Access
- Planning data and estimates were siloed across multiple systems
- Delays in approvals slowed projects and created inefficiencies
- Field staff needed secure, instant access to planning data, schedules, and CRM info
📸 Scattered Job Photos
- Foremen captured job site photos on personal iPhones with no centralized repository
- Office teams spent hours collecting and organizing photos for reporting and billing
- Lack of centralized access caused delays in decision-making
📧 Communication Gaps
- Fragmented email threads made it difficult to track project discussions
- Field and office staff lacked a unified platform for communication
- Critical updates were sometimes missed, leading to errors
🔒 Security & Backup Concerns
- Sensitive project, financial, and client data traveled on unsecured devices
- Backups were inconsistent, putting data at risk
- No standardized encryption or disaster recovery plan
