Managing a construction business is not an easy job. There are lots of things that require attention. Building strong foundations, guaranteeing proper electricity and water functioning, and supervising the use of materials are just some of them.
Dealing with the demands that this type of business requires can be tiring, even overwhelming at times. This is why counting on the right team and tools is essential.
It is because we acknowledge this, that today we'd like to show you how mobile forms can assist you in handling many of your construction business' needs. Read on and learn how this fantastic digital tool can help you upgrade your organisation!

Every organisation has its bureaucratic side, commonly filled with documents, paperwork, and folders. Mobile forms have come to put an end to such an archaic system and refine your construction business processes. Read on to find out how!
Construction sites frequently rely on essential pieces of equipment. These tools and machines are elemental to accomplish the required enterprise. As a consequence, keeping track of each of them is key.
Mobile forms provide a simple and rapid way to perform equipment assessments. Through the creation of the corresponding forms, workers on-site can record inventory on a daily basis, or inspect equipment for damages every so often.
Mobile forms allow users to include checklists. This feature can significantly help you and your team CHECK on your on-site equipment in a rapid and clear way. By using checklists on your forms, you will be able to:
Consequently, by consistently monitoring each apparatus and machine carefully, you will minimise the chances of waking up to a broken bulldozer or a missing excavator.

Working on construction means partnering with a huge amount of vendors, professionals and employees. To establish working conditions, salaries, and more, contracts are the most common medium to go about it. Now, imagine handling 5 construction projects simultaneously, each of them involving 30 different people. That's a lot of contracts, right? Drafting each of them and, later, finding where to store them can be tedious, error-prone, and poorly efficient.
Once again, mobile forms are the answer! This digital tool can save you and your team significant time, by enabling you to create all of the contracts necessary for your daily activities. From general contractor forms to sales and legal information invoices, the sky is your limit! By simply selecting one of the available templates and customising its fields you will be able to significantly minimise the amount of time spent working on these documents. As a consequence, every team member will be able to focus on more relevant tasks, helping you lead your construction projects to success.

Interested in going beyond? Some form builder apps offer a feature that might come in handy when drafting contracts. We’re referring to the “digital signature” feature. Kizeo Forms is one of the solutions that include this element. By implementing it you will be guaranteed no change will be made to your form (or contract) after it has been signed and saved. Talk about practicality! If you’d like to learn more about the signature element, head on to our website and find out all there is to know!
Picking up where we left off, projects in the construction industry demand lots of documentation, legal contracts and inventories. By implementing a mobile forms app you will be guaranteed never to lose any of these documents again.
Mobile forms apps most frequently store all of the collected data in servers connected to the Cloud. This means:

Speaking about information being stolen, we know what you might be thinking “data theft also occurs online”, and you’re right. That’s why we are one step ahead of you. Most mobile form apps count on security measures to prevent your information from falling into the wrong hands. Take Kizeo Forms for instance. Security is one of our top priorities! It is moved by this priority that our solution includes the following security features:

An exceptional construction project requires a thorough tracking of expenditures and other relevant indicators that can affect your budget.
How do you currently record your expenses? Please tell us your system doesn’t involve paper and pen! Today, there are many digital ways in which you can administer your budget, but mobile forms have become the most convenient way to do it. Let us tell you why.
Using mobile forms as your expense report app allows you to track and manage your budget on the go just from your mobile or tablet. All you have to do is select the expense form template and customise it to suit your needs. As we previously mentioned, all your data will be connected to the Cloud, so you will be able to inform other team members in real-time about any budget updates.
Another upside about using this digital solution to track your budget is that some mobile form apps allow their users to attach invoices, or even scan receipts. Consequently, by taking advantage of these features, not only will you control your budget, but you will also have every related document in the same place.
Kizeo Forms is one of the form builder apps that include these elements in its solution. If you’d like to learn more about them, follow this link and find out!

Dealing with a big crew and delegating multiple tasks at the same time can be exhausting (and sometimes nerve-racking too). You need to keep track of everything that happens during a working day while leading your team efficiently and making sure they are safe. That’s a lot on your plate. For this reason, Kizeo Forms has developed a few tools to help you out. Keep reading!
What if we tell you there’s a simple and easy way to monitor working hours?
Our timesheet app allows your employees to clock in hours in the field directly from their mobiles. Once they complete all the data, you will receive an automatic report in your email. This helps managers easily track attendance and approve time entries. Additionally, you or your team supervisors will be able to approve/reject employees’ timesheets with our digital signature feature, and send them over to your Human Resources Department to edit their payslips. This app is also useful to monitor the work of third parties that might be participating in your project.

Also, when it comes to sharing information, monitoring working hours with a mobile forms app has an upside. Kizeo Forms, for instance, makes it surprisingly easy for you to generate reports. Users can automate the style of their reports and the information they wish to include. There are three formats to choose from Word, Excel and PDF. This method will allow you and your supervisors to instantly make daily, weekly and monthly reports, either on the hours of an employee or the entire workforce.
Timesheets are incredible to further analyse how your crew is working. By tracking working hours, you will be aware of how much time each task takes. And by doing so, you can estimate if the construction work will meet its deadline or if more employees are needed to finish the project. What are you waiting for? Start tracking hours through mobile forms and stop missing out on details!

We understand that employee safety always comes first. Working in a safe environment is not only a necessity but also an important part of team motivation. Consequently, as an employer, it’s essential to provide your crew with the corresponding protective equipment. Especially in a hazardous environment, such as a construction site, counting on proper personal protective equipment is critical.
Taking the above into consideration, we’d like to assist you in taking care of your team. Mobile forms can help you monitor if PPE is correctly used and verify its quality. How long has your team been using the same equipment? When should you buy new ones? You need to have accurate information to answer these questions.
That’s when mobile forms come in. This digital solution will allow you to conduct surveys aimed to evaluate how many of your employees use PPE. Also, they will enable you to perform swift inspections and evaluate if any equipment needs to be replaced. The possibilities are endless!

In line with our previous point, active monitoring is elemental to making sure your crew is safe. Being aware of where risks can arise can make an outstanding difference. In this sense, identifying hazards and pinpointing dangerous areas can help a lot. Once again, mobile forms can take some of the workloads off your shoulders.
By using a forms app you can make workplace safety collaborative. Building safety forms where your team can report on hazards, near misses and accidents is an amasing way of involving them. As a bonus, many eyes see better than one. By getting your team on board, you will be able to identify more risks in your construction site than if you were the only one seeking them.
