Bringing Order to Chaos: Onsite Construction Diary is India’s Best Design Project 2023

Onsite is a platform to track and manage construction projects (a digital construction diary). It helps users to keep track of tasks, labour, expenses, material, attendance, progress and analytics reports, and allows them to communicate with construction companies for quotation requests, estimates creation, etc.

Enabling Efficiency

The construction site business in India is notoriously unorganised, with numerous players but few resources to support small construction business owners. The owners and construction site managers often struggle to manage projects effectively, as they rely on paper records that are easily lost, leading to significant financial losses.

Onsite is an innovative mobile and app-based digital solution that addresses all these challenges. The developers identified critical tasks and challenges that users face on construction sites. They also studied the types of apps that inspire familiarity, to ensure ease of adoption. Onsite app empowers site users, managers, and business owners with several capabilities:

• Manage and Track Site Progress: Monitor project progress in real time, helping them stay on schedule and within budget.
• Promote Business: Business owners can use the app to market their services and reach a wider audience.
• Monitor Labour and Materials: Tools for tracking labour and material usage, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
• Create Invoices and Manage Finances: Generate invoices and keep track of financial transactions, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
• Create Quotations for New Projects: The app simplifies the process of generating quotes for potential clients, streamlining business operations.
• Manage Multiple Vendors and Sites: Business owners can oversee multiple projects and vendor relationships from a single platform.
• Enhance Communication and Transparency: Facilitate better communication between clients and companies, fostering trust and collaboration.

Remarkable Transformation with an Impact

Onsite has made a significant impact on India’s small construction companies. Analytics suggest that the app is now used in over 500 towns and cities, supporting projects worth more than INR 5000 crore. With over 500,000 downloads on the Play Store, users have found the app efficient and beneficial for managing their construction businesses. The Onsite app represents a significant advancement in the construction industry, providing essential tools and capabilities for small business owners and site managers.
