Stratabuild — Bringing Clarity to Complex Construction Projects

Project Overview

Replacing Spreadsheets And Guesswork With Real-Time Control

Stratabuild builds software for commercial construction firms juggling dozens of simultaneous projects, subcontractors, and tight regulatory deadlines. They asked us to transform a powerful but intimidating platform into a tool that site managers and back-office teams could trust to make high-stakes decisions every day.

By immersing ourselves in the realities of the job site, we delivered a clear, dependable experience that connects the field and the office around a single source of truth.

The Challenge

Big Projects Were Being Run On Fragile Tools

Construction teams were coordinating millions of dollars in work through disconnected spreadsheets, group chats, and paper forms. The platform meant to unify them was too complex to adopt, and the gaps were costing time, money, and safety.

• Disconnected project data across teams
• Steep learning curve for field staff
• Poor visibility into project timelines
• Unreliable mobile performance on site
• Manual, error-prone progress reporting
• No standardized safety compliance tracking

Research & Discovery

Designing From The Job Site Up

We knew an office-only perspective would fail construction teams, so we took our research into the field. Observing how work actually happens in noisy, fast-moving, glove-on environments shaped every decision that followed.

• On-Site Field Observations
• Project Manager Interviews
• Subcontractor Workflow Mapping
• Competitive Tooling Analysis
• Mobile Usability Testing
• Safety Compliance Audits

Our Solution

One Platform For The Field And The Office

[01] Live Project Dashboard

A real-time command center gives managers instant visibility into schedule, budget, and risk across every active project, replacing end-of-week surprises with daily clarity.

[02] Field-Ready Mobile App

We rebuilt the mobile experience for one-handed use in the field, with large tap targets, offline support, and fast photo-based progress logging.

[03] Visual Timeline Planning

Drag-and-drop scheduling makes dependencies and delays obvious at a glance, helping teams resequence work before small slips become costly overruns.

[04] Standardized Safety Tracking

Built-in compliance checklists and digital sign-offs give every site a consistent, auditable safety record that protects workers and the business alike.

[05] Scalable Design System

We delivered a rugged, high-contrast design system built for outdoor visibility and rapid feature expansion across Stratabuild's growing product suite.

What The Client Said

Our field teams went from avoiding the software to relying on it. The redesign turned a complicated tool into something our crews actually want to open every morning.
