A platform for running and managing construction projects

From the first dig...
to the last signature

Buildara unifies your entire construction journey — from site setup and foundations, through concrete, MEP and finishes, to testing, handover and final delivery.

Why projects stall

A project isn't delayed by execution alone... it's delayed when the information gets lost.

A request on WhatsApp A drawing in an email An approval in a PDF A note in a meeting A quantity in Excel

And a piece of information that matters... no one knows where it ended up.

Buildara brings it all into one path.
Every request, drawing, approval, comment and quantity — in its place, and linked to the execution stage.

The project journey – from start to handover

From the first dig, Buildara starts with you. Eight construction stages, each completion percentage computed directly from a demo project's schedule on the platform.

When the details connect... the decision comes faster

Data doesn't work as separate islands. Buildara links the drawing to the item, the item to execution, and execution to inspection, approval and the payment certificate — within one project cycle.

Each party sees the project from their angle

Contractor

Build more. Chase less. Bring execution requests, inspections, comments, approvals and quantities into one clear path.

WIR RFI MIR BOQ IPC

Owner

Know what is happening on your project. Direct visibility of progress, quality, approvals, costs and open items — without waiting for reports.

IPC BOQ Reports HO
Project intelligence

It doesn't just record what happened... know what comes next

Buildara reads your project's data — the schedule, requests, approvals, comments and quantities — and turns it into a diagnosis: where the deviation is, its likely causes, and the recommended action. A construction intelligence platform, not just a document archive.

It spots the deviation

It compares actual progress to plan across the project's stages.

Example:
The project is 9% behind plan
It analyses the likely causes

It links the delay to its real items across the modules.

• 7 overdue approval requests
• 4 execution items stalled
• MEP drawing approval is late
It suggests the action

A practical step tied to the critical path, not a generic recommendation.

Prioritise the requests on the critical path, and follow up with the parties responsible for approving the MEP drawing.
An executive report, ready

The full diagnosis in a report ready to share with the owner.

PDF Weekly performance summary Ready

Eight real problems on the job site. One solution for each.

Every module below is built from a real, everyday problem in construction project management — not a generic feature list.

WIR

Every inspection request has a named owner — not "waiting on someone"

On site, inspection requests get lost between WhatsApp and email, and no one knows who's supposed to respond. Buildara turns it into a single formal workflow with one clearly named owner at every moment, from submission to approval.

Distribution to a named owner

Every request is actually distributed to a specialist engineer by name and discipline — civil, architectural, electrical, or mechanical — not just a generic "awaiting the consultant."

A fully traceable status workflow

Draft → pending → distributed → under review → approved or rejected → closed, with a date and time logged for every transition.

A fixed, unified reference number

A number in the format WIR-date-sequence, not a raw database ID that changes with every import.

Direct link to executed quantities

No payment on work whose inspection hasn't been approved — inspection is the real gate before any completed quantity is counted.

RFI

Today's technical question doesn't become a financial dispute months later

Technical questions with no cost impact or defined response deadline turn later into disputes over "who was late to respond, and when." Buildara links every query to a due date and a potential financial impact from the very first moment.

Tracking the query's financial impact

Every RFI is linked to its potential cost impact — a technical question documented financially, not just a question and answer.

An explicit response due date

Every request has a set response deadline that turns a technical commitment into a time commitment that can be held accountable when delayed.

Three-party digital signature

Contractor, consultant, and project manager — each party with their own signature and date, an irreversible record.

A verification code on every document

A QR code that verifies the authenticity of every RFI when printed or shared outside the platform.

NCR

"Fixed" isn't enough — you need field proof

"The non-conformance was fixed" is an undocumented verbal claim — no one actually verifies the remedy happened or that the consultant checked it on site. Buildara enforces a complete corrective-action cycle before closing any non-conformance.

A complete five-stage corrective-action cycle

Submitted to the contractor → contractor correction → consultant review → corrective action submitted → field execution confirmed → final verification, with an independent date for every stage.

An explicit distinction between closing and verification

Two separate final states: administratively "closed" versus "verified" in the field — never conflated.

Automatically calculated delay

Every non-conformance is linked to a due date the delay is calculated from automatically, and it appears in the comprehensive delay log.

SUB

Every submittal has a real reference number, not a temporary file number

Materials and drawings are sent for approval with no unified reference number, making them hard to trace later in official correspondence. Buildara gives every submittal a fixed number from the moment it's created.

A review workflow with a permanent reference number

A number in the format SUB-date-sequence stays fixed after migration, and doesn't change with any later data edit.

Classification by submittal type

Materials, shop drawings, method statement, sample, or technical document — each type with its own workflow.

Link to the contractor's internal numbering

A dedicated reference for each document that links the Buildara submittal to the contractor's own numbering system, without duplication.

MIR

The actual delivery date is one thing, and the contractual due date is another

Approving materials before they reach the site is a critical step that's often handled through scattered phone calls. Buildara gives it the same rigor as the WIR workflow, with a clear distinction between the actual delivery date and the contractual due date.

An independent distribution and approval workflow

The same WIR distribution logic, to a named owner, dedicated to the material approval cycle before supply.

A delivery date separate from the due date

The actual delivery date is recorded independently of the contractual date — reflecting site reality, not just the theoretical schedule.

A unified reference number for every request

In the format MIR-date-sequence, searchable and archivable to the same standard as the other modules.

IPC

"What's actually due?" A question answered with a documented number, not a separate spreadsheet

The biggest dispute on construction projects is often over the value of payment certificates — without a documented, formal approval workflow every party can see, the argument drags on for months. Buildara calculates the certificate from quantities actually approved and routes it through a formal approval workflow.

A financial approval workflow with three independent parties

Quantity surveyor (QS) → project manager → owner, each stage with a named approver and date, with the option to reject or return for a documented reason.

Fully automated calculation

Previous value plus current equals the cumulative total, with retention withholding, advance payment recovery, and tax rates — no separate manual calculations.

Direct link to the approved BOQ

Every certificate is calculated from real, executed quantities documented in the system, not independent estimates.

Documented revisions for every period

Any edit to a prior period's certificate is logged as a new revision, not a silent replacement of the original document.

VAR

A variation decided over a phone call ends in a dispute at claim time

Variations decided verbally later create disputes over "who approved it, and when." Buildara enforces a formal, multi-stage approval workflow before any variation is considered approved.

A formal four-stage approval workflow

DC review → consultant review → consultant manager's recommendation → owner's PM decision, each stage with an owner defined by role.

An explicit distinction between submission and decision

The submission date and the final decision date are two completely separate fields — no confusion between "requested" and "decided."

Automatic stagnation alert

Any variation stuck at any stage for more than seven days appears automatically in the delay log, even with no explicit deadline.

Dashboard

A project status report ready before you even ask for it

Project managers spend hours every week assembling a status report from scattered files before a management meeting. Buildara computes the full project picture instantly from the same live operational data.

An automatically calculated health score for every project

Performance, safety, and financial indicators combined into a single number — not a personal opinion, but a direct calculation from real data.

Comprehensive safety tracking

Incidents, observations, and safety inspections — open versus closed, classified by severity, not just a total count.

Executive summary and interactive map

A full overview of every project on a single map with an automatic summary, with no need to navigate between multiple pages.

Automatic tracking of overdue items

The ratio of on-time to overdue items across the project's main modules, calculated automatically, not a manual list.

Flexible control over roles, permissions, and documents.
