progress tracking

You’ll receive your own unique password and log-in so you can view regular updates of your build, along with weekly photos, and you can even leave messages for your project supervisor if you wish. And when the build is finished, you will have a full online record of consents, code of compliance and other important details available whenever you need it.

Behind the scenes, our online building system helps ensure your build flows smoothly by keeping sub-contractors and suppliers updated and informed.
