Five must-have construction management apps

July 3, 2019

There’s a lot more to construction work than just — well, constructing. Contractors and project managers are also responsible for meeting deadlines, construction standards, and safety regulations.

Construction management apps enable construction firms to collect and share information from job sites in real time so they can stay on schedule and in compliance.

By leveraging mobile technology, construction workers can spend less time on paperwork and more time on the high-value work that they’re trained for. And construction management apps — particularly on a robust platform with SAML SSO and audit logs (like Fulcrum) — give project managers more visibility and control over job site processes.

From access floors to zone valves, you can easily build a construction app for any type of inspection or reporting with Fulcrum’s drag-and-drop custom form builder. But to get you started, here are five construction app templates that every firm should download.

Asbestos Inspection App

One of the biggest risks to construction workers is exposure to asbestos, which can increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Download this app to indicate areas where asbestos is present to ensure contractors are protected from inhalation during demolition.‍

Building Inspection Checklist

Use this building inspection checklist to conduct a general overview of existing or new construction, including HVAC and electrical systems, even in areas without wifi or cellular connectivity. Document deficiencies that need attention and report inspection results to managers and other stakeholders.‍

Construction Equipment Inspection App
