Overview

BuildSmart Projects, a mid-sized construction and infrastructure firm based in Canada, was facing frequent project delays and budget mismanagement due to outdated tracking processes. Teams operated in silos, relying on spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls to report updates. Without a centralized platform, project visibility suffered, which led to miscommunication between field engineers and managers. Bacancy stepped in with a custom-built SaaS-based construction management platform that digitized progress tracking, enabled mobile-first collaboration, and streamlined project budgeting from a single dashboard.

Challenges & Solutions

Lack of Centralized Progress Tracking

  • Solution: Bacancy engineered a cloud-native SaaS platform using Angular and Firebase. The platform is accessible across devices and offers Gantt-based task scheduling and real-time updates to ensure transparency and ownership across multiple stakeholders.

Disconnected Budget Management Systems

  • Solution: We embedded a real-time budget control module within the SaaS system using Node.js and Firestore. Managers could track expenditures live, with visual insights on overages and forecasting via Google Charts.

On-Site Teams Couldn’t Collaborate Efficiently with HQ

  • Solution: Our SaaS platform integrated Firebase Realtime Database with mobile-optimized forms for quick updates, progress photos, and live issue escalation. Notifications were routed instantly to project managers for review.

No Central View of Project KPIs

  • Solution: Our SaaS experts have helped to built custom KPI dashboards into the SaaS UI using Google Charts. Project managers could track cost burn, slippage ratio, and completion velocity, along with real-time alerts powered by Firebase Cloud Functions.
