Our Construction App Development Approach

We combine construction expertise with mobile development excellence to create apps that site managers trust and contractors rely on daily.

Site-Optimised Design

We design for harsh building site conditions with large buttons, high contrast displays, and interfaces that work with gloves. Apps remain usable in bright sunlight and dusty environments.

Project Management Integration

Offline-First Architecture

Full functionality in areas with poor mobile signal common on building sites. All features work offline with automatic synchronisation when connectivity returns.

Rugged & Reliable

Apps optimised for rugged devices and harsh conditions with efficient battery usage, minimal data consumption, and crash-resistant architecture for uninterrupted site work.

CDM Compliance

Built-in compliance with CDM Regulations 2015 including health and safety file management, pre-construction information, and construction phase plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about construction mobile app development

How long does it take to develop a construction mobile app?

Development timelines vary based on complexity. A simple site diary or inspection app typically takes 3-4 months, whilst a comprehensive project management platform might take 6-9 months. We use agile development to deliver working versions incrementally, allowing early site testing and faster deployment.

Do construction apps work offline?

Yes, offline functionality is essential for construction apps due to poor mobile signal on many building sites. Our apps are designed offline-first, with all critical features working without internet connectivity. Data automatically synchronises when the device reconnects to the network.

Can construction apps integrate with our project management software?

Absolutely. We specialise in integrating construction apps with project management platforms including ProCore, Viewpoint, Autodesk Build, PlanGrid, and custom systems. We use secure APIs and construction data standards to ensure seamless data flow.

How much does construction app development cost?

Costs depend on features, complexity, and integration requirements. Simple site management apps start from £25,000, whilst comprehensive project coordination platforms range from £50,000 to £150,000+. We provide transparent fixed-price quotes based on your detailed requirements.

Do you develop for rugged construction devices?

Yes, we develop for both standard iOS and Android devices as well as rugged tablets and phones commonly used on building sites. Our apps are optimised for harsh conditions with large touch targets, high contrast displays, and efficient battery usage.

Are construction apps CDM compliant?

Yes, we build CDM Regulations 2015 compliance into our construction apps including health and safety file management, pre-construction information, construction phase plans, and incident reporting with full audit trails.

How do you handle photo and document storage?

Apps include automatic cloud backup of photos and documents with timestamping and GPS tagging. Storage is secure and compliant with UK data protection regulations. We can integrate with your existing document management systems or provide cloud storage.

Do you provide training for construction staff?

Yes, we provide comprehensive training including on-site training sessions, video tutorials, and ongoing support. Our apps are designed to be intuitive for construction workers, minimising training requirements whilst maximising productivity.
