The Biggest Problem in Construction: Who Is Where, and How Much Is Done?
In a construction project, multiple subcontractors work simultaneously. The structural team is pouring columns, the electricians are running conduit, and the mechanical team is installing the HVAC system. Each subcontractor has their own schedule, their own task list, their own progress report.
The traditional method for pulling this information to the centre is: phone calls, emails, weekly meetings and an Excel spreadsheet. The site manager walks the site, takes notes, returns to the office, and updates the table. Later that day a new issue comes up; the table is not updated. A week later, the real situation is unclear.
FieldCo breaks this cycle.

Phase-Based Tracking: Every Subcontractor Runs Their Process in the System
In FieldCo, a construction project is divided into phases. Each phase is assigned to the responsible subcontractor:
- Structural / Concrete — Foundation, columns, slabs, roof
- Electrical Installation — Distribution panels, cabling, lighting, earthing
- Mechanical Systems — HVAC, plumbing, fire suppression, gas
- Equipment Installation — Assembly, testing, calibration, first maintenance
Each phase's completion percentage is reflected in the system. The project manager sees in real time, from a single screen, where all four subcontractors stand — without going to the site or making a phone call.

Checklists: Questions, Answers and Evidence — All Defined by You
FieldCo's checklist module is fully customisable for construction sector requirements.
You decide:
- Which questions are asked
- The answer format — yes/no, multiple choice, numeric value, text note
- Min/max value validations — for example "slab thickness must be at least 20 cm"
- Photo requirements — configurable per question
- Signature requirements — subcontractor supervisor or site manager signature
How it works on site:
The technician or subcontractor supervisor opens the mobile app, selects the relevant checklist and answers the questions. They take photos, add notes, and tap Save — data is transmitted to head office instantly.
Getting paper forms signed, receiving photos via WhatsApp, entering data manually into Excel — all of that becomes history.

Percentage Progress: An Instant Answer to "How Much Is Done?"
Every time a checklist is completed, the subcontractor's progress percentage updates automatically. The project manager's dashboard shows:
- Güçlü İnşaat (Structural) → 80% complete
- Akay Elektrik (Electrical) → 60% complete
- Delta Mekanik (Mechanical) → 40% complete
- Teknik Ekipman (Equipment) → 10% started
This data provides early warnings at critical interdependency points. If electrical work is stuck at 60% and equipment installation depends on electrical completion, that delay is immediately visible.

Open Issues and Delay Tracking
When a problem is flagged in a checklist — a "no" answer or a missing photo — the system automatically creates an open issue record. The project manager's dashboard shows:
- Which subcontractor is stuck on which control point
- How many days of delay have accumulated
- Notes and attached photos
- The responsible person
Instead of asking "what happened?" in a meeting, you simply open the system and look.

After Construction: Equipment Calibration and Maintenance Tracking
The process that kicks in after construction is complete is also managed in FieldCo. Periodic maintenance and calibration tracking for installed equipment — elevators, HVAC units, generators, fire pumps, compressors — is added to the system.
For each piece of equipment:
- Last maintenance date and the company that performed it
- Next maintenance date and automatic reminder
- Calibration certificate date
- Checklist and photos completed during maintenance
Whether it is one piece of equipment or hundreds, FieldCo manages both with equal ease. When a maintenance date approaches, the relevant person receives an automatic notification.

Goodbye to Paper and Excel
The problems that paper and Excel create on construction projects are universal:
- Site notes get lost or are illegible
- Excel versions clash — which file is current?
- Photos disappear in WhatsApp groups
- Reports are prepared weeks later; the real-time situation is unknown
In FieldCo, all data lives on one platform. Site notes cannot be deleted, photos do not disappear, there are no version conflicts. Every checklist records who filled it in, when and where.
