About Project Issues

The Project Issues feature gives inspectors a quick and easy way to log the violations they encounter on construction sites. Project Issues facilitates the communication and exchange between the inspector, contractor/ subcontractors, and the project manager. With the mobile application, inspectors are able to record and send issues to contractors, with just the click of a button. The contractor can then assign these issues to subcontractors for further action. Having a single system that allows all parties to collaborate on the inspection process helps reduce the time it takes to inspect a site, which essentially reduces project costs.

Supporting features have also been added, such as the ability to predefine locations for the inspector's convenience. Contractors, administrators and inspectors can also flag issues that they see occur often, to eliminate the repetitive input of similar issues. The collaborative aspect of this feature results in increased efficiency and speed. It also adds convenience, flexibility and practicality to the inspection process for all parties involved.

Setup Process

As part of the setup process, project managers must first create "project issue" form types, otherwise the Project Issues link won't be accessible from the Project Menu. A list of locations should also be created for the inspector to log issues for. Project managers can flag recurring issues during the setup process or they can be saved in an ad hoc fashion, by the inspector.

Below is a list of configuration steps that should be completed in chronological order:
