BuildMonitor Mobile App

DPR written automatically.
During the day, not after.

Site personnel record progress on mobile as work happens. BuildMonitor generates the Daily Progress Report automatically in the format your contract requires — no typing, no Excel, no end-of-day admin.

The Daily Progress Report
is still a manual task.

On every construction project, the Site Manager or foreman is contractually required to produce a Daily Progress Report — documenting what work was done, quantities, safety incidents, and issues.

Today, this is still done by typing a report in Excel at the end of a twelve-hour shift. The site team has no time during the day to record structured data. Information is captured from memory, not from observation. By the time the DPR is written, details are forgotten or incorrect.

The report exists only in the format the site manager knows how to create, not necessarily the format the contract requires.

BuildMonitor moves DPR creation from the end of a shift (manual typing in exhaustion) to during the workday (structured data capture on mobile) and then generates the contractually compliant report automatically.

Workflow Automation

How it works

A structured, compliant process from the field directly to your back office.

1
Step 1: Initiation

Site personnel open BuildMonitor app

Available on Android and iOS. Offline mode for sites with poor connectivity.

2
Step 2: Progress Recording

Record progress during the workday

Instead of writing from memory at the end of the shift, log work, counts, and issues directly as they occur.

Progress checklist

Which activities completed

Quantities completed

Cubic metres concrete, square metres formwork, etc.

Photos of completed work

With automatic timestamp and location

Safety incidents

Record near-misses and hazards instantly

Issues or delays

Document blockers and reason

Equipment on site

Track machinery status and hours

Labour count

Log subcontractor and trade counts

Step 3: Synchronization

Information syncs to office

When connection is available (WiFi or mobile data), the logged information syncs automatically to the office system and directly to the ERP.

Step 4: Report Generation

No formatting or compiling. BuildMonitor builds a comprehensive DPR matching contract demands.
