Construction project records

Construction project tracking without extra spreadsheets

Every new project brings more deadlines, information and things to keep an eye on. KartaStavby lets you keep construction project records in one place and quickly see what is underway, who is responsible and what needs attention.

What should you record for each construction project?

Keeping project records does not have to mean dozens of fields and complicated admin. For a small construction company, the priority is finding the information that tells you how a particular project is doing.

Project status

See the current status and progress of each site, including projects that need an update.

Deadlines

Project deadlines, tasks and milestones stay with the project instead of being buried in emails and messages.

Responsibility

The assigned site manager sees the project in their overview. Management knows who to contact about it.

Costs and budget

Record actual cost items by category and compare them with the project budget.

Tasks and their history

Look up completed, incomplete and rescheduled tasks, including additional notes.

Start with all your projects in one overview

With two projects, you may remember where each one stands. Once several are running at the same time, seeing them together becomes much more useful.

KartaStavby gives you an overview of all projects first. You can then open the one you need to work on. Your ongoing project records have a shared starting point and a dedicated place for each site’s information.

Records the owner does not have to maintain alone

In a small company, the owner often knows the exact state of every project. That works until everyone starts asking the owner for every piece of information.

When key information is recorded in a shared place, the team can check the basic project status themselves. Builders work with assigned sites, directors have the company overview and inspectors have read-only access. Keeping records current still depends on people entering changes as they happen.

Simpler than another spreadsheet. Smaller than an ERP.

You do not need a large business system to keep records for a handful of construction projects. You also do not have to create another spreadsheet every time the previous one stops being practical.

KartaStavby sits between those options for companies that want organised project records without implementing an ERP. Your tracking tool should match the information you actually need to share and follow.

  3. ERPFor companies that need much broader business processes

Frequently asked questions

Getting started with project records

How should I keep construction project records?

Keep the current status, key deadlines, responsible people and other information needed to manage each project in one place. The level of detail should match the size of your company and the complexity of its projects.

Is Excel enough for tracking projects?

Excel can work very well for a few simple projects. Problems usually arise when you have multiple spreadsheets, several people working on them or information moving into emails and messages.

Does a small construction company need a project tracking system?

It depends more on the number of concurrent projects than on the number of employees. A simple shared overview can be useful for a team of just a few people if they work on several sites at once.

Give every project a place of its own.
