Construction Field Messaging — Photos, Tags, Tasks, Proof
Construction Field Messaging — Photos, Tags, Tasks, Proof
Most chats collect noise, not progress. Construction field messaging ties every post to a project, area, owner, and status—so photo updates turn into tasks and tasks turn into proof without an end-of-day scramble.
Messaging that moves work
To keep schedules intact, messaging needs structure—evidence, routing, and a clear finish line. Use this four-part model:
- Photos: share geo-tagged photos with quick notes for progress, punch items, and safety observations.
- Tags: route updates using @mentions and #tags (e.g., #MEP, #roof, #unit204).
- Tasks: convert posts to items with owners, due dates, and simple Open → Done status.
- Proof: close with an “after” photo; export a clean PDF for clients and inspectors.
Core capabilities you should expect
Project & zone channels
Separate conversations for each site, level, and area keep jobsite messaging searchable and audit-ready.
Photo-first posts
Attach images with captions and timestamps; ideal for QA/QC, safety updates, and owner visibility.
Mentions, tags & filters
Target the right people and trades with @mentions and #tags. Filter later by tag, person, area, or date.
Tasking & status
Turn any post into a task; track to completion with owners and due dates.
Read-only client links
Share curated updates externally—visibility without extra logins or noisy threads.
Mobile + offline mode
Capture in weak signal; sync later. Perfect for towers, basements, and remote sites.
