Introduction

Progress photos are essential for tracking construction milestones, managing on-site activities, and ensuring projects stay on schedule. However, traditional methods of capturing, transferring, and storing photos are often time-consuming, prone to delays, and can result in misplaced or hard-to-find images. These inefficiencies hinder timely decision-making and slow down responses to issues or deviations.

Dashpivot's Progress Photos app solves these challenges by enabling real-time photo capture, centralised storage, and streamlined reporting. With tools for annotations and visual documentation, it empowers teams to monitor progress effectively and address issues quickly, ensuring better project outcomes.

How it works

Key Features

  • Capture and upload photos instantly from the field, providing management with real-time updates for remote monitoring and faster decision-making.

  • Document construction milestones and daily activities with high-resolution photos that can be annotated and marked up to highlight specific details or changes.

  • Store all progress photos securely in a centralised system, ensuring easy access to historical records without the hassle of sorting through emails or scattered storage locations.

  • Generate standardised photo reports directly within the app, saving time and ensuring consistency across all projects.

  • Use visual documentation to quickly identify deviations from plans, enabling timely resolutions and better project management.

  • Capture and access photos on the go using mobile or tablet devices, ensuring that progress is always well-documented, no matter where you are.

Best Practices

  • Highlight specific issues, details, or changes directly on photos using markup tools to improve communication with stakeholders.

  • Ensure important details, such as the date, and location, are enabled for photo stamps.

  • Use photo tags to define activities involved, enhancing searchability and context.

  • Customise and standardise progress report templates across projects to ensure consistent and professional documentation.
