Construction Site Management Made Simple

What is it?

Make It Home is a construction site management tool that tracks who's on site, what happened during the day, and keeps homeowners informed — all through a simple tablet or phone interface at each project site.

Three Types of Users

👤

1. You (the Business Owner / Admin)

You see everything across all your projects from one dashboard. You manage projects, review what happened on site, and send weekly updates to your clients.

👷

2. Your Trades & Workers

When they arrive at a job site, they scan a QR code on a tablet (or posted sign). No login needed. They check in, do their work, and check out — answering a quick checklist each time. They can also flag issues or leave notes about the day.

🏡

3. Your Clients (Homeowners)

Each project also has a client-facing QR code. Homeowners can leave feedback about the work (with a star rating) or report concerns — without needing to call or email.

How Projects Flow Through Their Lifecycle

Create Project

Add project name and address in the admin panel. The project is now active and ready for kiosks.

↓

Open Kiosks

Each project gets its own Trades Kiosk and Client Kiosk with unique QR codes. Post them at the site.

↓

Daily Activity

Workers and clients interact through the kiosks daily. Check-ins, issues, feedback — all tracked automatically.

↓

Monitor & Report

You monitor from the dashboard in real-time. Weekly reports are auto-generated every Friday.

↓

Archive Complete

When the project is done, archive it. It disappears from the active list, but all history and reports are preserved and searchable.

What Happens on a Typical Day

🌅 Morning — Workers Arrive

Worker scans the QR code at the site
Selects their name and trade (Electrician, Plumber, etc.)
Completes a short check-in checklist (PPE worn, tools inspected, safety briefing done)
They're now logged as "on site"

☀️ During the Day — If Something Comes Up

Worker can report an issue (e.g., "exposed wiring in unit 204") with a severity level
Worker can leave a note (e.g., "break area was well stocked today")
Client can leave feedback or report a concern from their own QR code
Everything is timestamped and tied to the project

🌆 End of Day — Workers Leave

Worker selects their name from the "checked in" list
Goes through a checkout checklist with Yes/No answers
If they answer "No" to any item (e.g., "Area cleaned? No"), they must explain why — by typing or using the microphone
Incomplete items trigger an immediate alert to you
If someone doesn't check out, your dashboard flags them as "still on site" so you always know who's where

🎤 The Voice-or-Text Feature

Anywhere there's a text box in the app — reporting an issue, leaving a note, adding context to a report — there's a microphone button next to it. Tap it, speak, and your words get transcribed into text.

Especially useful for workers on site who may be wearing gloves or in a hurry.

🚨 The Emergency Contact

Both the trades and client kiosks prominently display "Need Help Right Now?" with one-tap Call and Email buttons for Make It Home. This is always visible so anyone on site can reach you immediately if needed.
