STRATUSLINK

From concept to MVP - construction project closeout management web app

We developed an MVP for a construction project closeout management process. Our team, consisting of a UX lead, two UX/UI designers, and a front-end developer, took the concept from initial idea to a functional prototype.

We streamlined the complex process of construction project closeouts, enhancing efficiency and reducing potential delays by managing the final stages of construction projects, setting the foundation for further development and industry adoption.

Project closeout is typically a slow, paper and labor-intensive process. Struggling to hand over all required documents and specs to the investor or management company, often delays final payment and is a big pain point for all involved.

By streamlining project and document management across the project closeout, StratusLink ensures that all stakeholders, particularly contractors, architects and investors, have role-based access to crucial information, significantly reducing the potential for confusion or information gone-missing.

Centralized data management

To combat data fragmentation, we developed a centralized data management system to consolidate all project-related information in one secure, accessible location. This ensured data consistency and integrity, facilitating better decision-making, reducing the risk of errors or closeout delays. Centralized data management also simplifies reporting and analytics, providing valuable insights into project performance.

Centralized document management

Our platform introduced an automated document management system, designed to streamline the handling of project documents and ensure all project-related information is in one secure, accessible location. This reduced the time spent on manual document control and increased accuracy, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to the latest project information. By automating document tracking, version control, and distribution, we significantly cut down on administrative overhead and improved project efficiency.
