Advancing construction with a ground-breaking website and custom software suite
CBI General Contractors is a premier commercial construction company with a strong brand identity rooted in faith and integrity. A new website and a custom-built content management system was designed with full-screen photography to showcase their work. For an established, growing company with many moving parts, a custom cloud-based business and project management system now automates their day-to-day activities and internal and client communication. Whether they're in the office or in the field, everything is readily accessible from any device for a team that works on the go.
As a construction and architecture-related company, the new web design uses full-screen imagery to capture the quality of their work and vast experience. A split-screen design is adapted for a variety of needs throughout the site. Designed to be fully responsive — the new standard for modern web design, the website and images display consistently on any screen size or device. It's simple and usable.
Focusing on simplicity with a one-screen layoutCBI General Contractor's clientele and suppliers want easy and quick access to the information they need. To do so, we designed the website using a one-screen layout. As opposed to endless scrolling, users have access to all of the navigation and website content in a single screen. This keeps the information simple and focused. Users can navigate the website and never worry about getting lost, improving the user experience for a wide range of visitors.
To maintain the website independently, our team built a custom web-based content management system. The staff can manage everything on their website including portfolio photos and descriptions, testimonials, career listings and bid opportunities. Compared to a pre-existing platform, the custom system is easier for the staff to use and eliminates unnecessary software bloat. Key functionality and processes are built into the user experience so anyone can make changes quickly and easily.
CBI General Contractors needed a way to efficiently manage multiple projects, clients, staff, and other suppliers. Through intensive user research and process consulting, we created a custom cloud-based project management software suite that automates daily tasks and centralizes all project communication, documents, and reporting. It is integrated with location and weather data, so that project managers can plan for possible delays. Built responsively, this system is accessible on all devices whether they're in the office or at a construction site.
Tiered users & groups for task management and client communicationWith an expanding staff and so many moving parts, tiered users and groups were especially important in building the business and project management systems. This ensures that the right data and functionality is seen by the right people at the right times. In addition to security, it, also, streamlines task management, approvals, and process flow. Clients and project managers have access to their own dashboards to access project information and approve daily reports.
Every team member signs their name to each project to show they stand by it.
