Control Shift · Construction systems
Give engineers, foremen and project managers a shared record of what happened on site. Control Shift builds mobile site management apps for daily progress, inspections, snagging, timesheets and material requests, with offline behaviour and approval rules defined for your projects.
For site engineers, supervisors, quality teams and project managers working across active sites and changing connectivity.
Capture on site
Timestamped draft with sync status
Submit and review
Reviewed report or corrective action
Resolve exceptions
Closure submission with history
Publish the project view
Traceable dashboard and export
Proposed workflow. Final roles, records and approvals are agreed during discovery.
A photograph in a chat does not establish which location was inspected, which drawing was used or who accepted the work. A site app connects evidence to project, zone, work package, revision and responsible person. Submitted progress is kept separate from consultant certification and commercial billing.
Capture work quantities, labour allocation, equipment hours, delays and notes by project and location. A supervisor reviews submissions before they feed management reporting or payroll preparation. Corrections preserve the original entry and reason.
Build checklists by work type with required evidence, drawing revision and reviewer roles. Track requested, inspected, rejected, corrected and accepted states. An application records authorised decisions; it does not certify construction quality on its own.
Assign each snag to a location and responsible trade, with photographs, due dates and closure evidence. Separate a contractor reporting an item fixed from a reviewer accepting the closure. Support reassignment and reopening without losing history.
Make the agreed drawings, RFIs and method documents available by revision and access role. Define what can be cached on a device, show pending uploads and handle conflicting edits. Alert users to superseded documents when the device reconnects.
Each handover has an owner, a required input and a recorded outcome. We define the exceptions alongside the normal process.
Engineer or foreman
Record the location, work item, source revision and evidence, even when offline if scoped.
Output: Timestamped draft with sync status
Supervisor or quality reviewer
Check completeness, permitted access and the relevant inspection criteria.
Output: Reviewed report or corrective action
Responsible subcontractor
Provide correction evidence and return the item to the assigned reviewer.
Output: Closure submission with history
Project manager
Use approved records for progress reporting and downstream handover.
Output: Traceable dashboard and export
Illustrative workflow example
Illustrative door-finishing issue in a fit-out project. The workflow keeps a repair claim distinct from acceptance.
Scroll horizontally to view all columns.
| State | Responsible role | Required record |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Quality reviewer | Location, photograph, description and due date |
| Assigned | Trade supervisor | Named owner and agreed corrective action |
| Ready for reinspection | Assigned contractor | Repair evidence and completion note |
| Accepted or reopened | Authorised reviewer | Review result, reason and timestamp |
| Handover export | Project manager | Accepted record linked to the final package |
The example shows record control. It does not replace a required inspection, qualified site supervision or contractual acceptance.
Use role-based APIs for project codes, material requests, labour records and approved progress. Define retry and duplicate handling before rollout. At handover, accepted snag records, asset references and documentation can feed a facility-management workflow with agreed ownership.
Connect construction handover to facility managementAI can draft daily summaries from submitted records, retrieve approved instructions with revision references and flag incomplete reports for review. Photo-assisted inspection or progress monitoring requires evaluation on the actual task and conditions. It must not claim reliable hazard detection, certify progress or replace professional inspections.
Explore document extraction and review workflowsScope varies with responsive web versus native apps, offline depth, media storage, languages and integrations. Validate a daily-report or inspection workflow with a representative site before rolling out to every trade. Include device support, app distribution and storage in the operating plan.
Discovery produces a workflow and data map, a prototype, an integration plan and an itemised delivery scope. Validate a trial migration and pilot with the people who use the system. Agree access roles, backups, deployment responsibilities, source-code handover, third-party licences and support terms before rollout.
Control Shift serves project teams in Dubai and across the UAE. Your project locations, languages and existing systems determine the rollout plan. Where a packaged platform already meets the requirement, configuration or a focused integration may be the appropriate scope.
Construction software development
A focused application can share project references, access rules and approved records with your wider system.
Explore the complete construction ERPCustom fit-out project management software in Dubai for approvals, BOQs, joinery, MEP coordination, variations, procurement, snagging and project handover.
Explore the workflowCustom construction procurement software in the UAE. Connect site requisitions, RFQs, supplier comparisons, purchase orders, receipts and project budgets.
Explore the workflowCustom construction cost control software in Dubai for BOQ budgets, commitments, actual costs, variations and forecasts. Scope your project reporting system.
Explore the workflowOffline capture can be designed for selected forms and documents. Agree which records and files are cached, how users see pending changes and what happens when two people edit the same record. Reconnection and conflict handling need explicit acceptance tests.
Yes. Define location structures, trade responsibilities, required evidence and reviewer roles. The workflow should distinguish a reported repair from accepted closure and allow a reviewer to reopen an item while preserving its history.
Site records can provide supporting evidence, but measured work, valuation and certification follow the contract and authorised review. The system should retain the connection between evidence and a certificate without treating every submitted progress update as billable work.
Yes. Allocate time to project, trade and cost code, then route timesheets for supervisor review. Payroll calculations, adjustments and bank or payroll-provider exports are separate controlled steps agreed with HR and finance.
Integration depends on approved APIs or export access. We map identities, project records, permissions and failure handling first. A focused site app can be introduced alongside an existing ERP without a full system replacement.
Tell us where work gets delayed, which systems you use and what a useful first release needs to achieve. Start with a process description; anonymised sample records can be reviewed during discovery.
We will map requirements, clarify integration access and prepare a phased proposal for construction site management app.
