Ten people can describe the same issue ten different ways… Scopey Onsite turns those inconsistent site updates into structured reports, variations and claims.
Every project needs information relayed from the team on site back to the project managers and admin staff.
Whether this is via emails, messages, apps, or even paper forms, one thing is certain: the data coming back from the site is inconsistent. The nature of the job and the reality of the construction workforce means that imposing strict reporting protocols is an exercise in futility.
Currently, project teams interpret the information and keep the work moving. But in an industry with tight margins and tighter timelines, the communication gap can deeply impact the bottom line. Just missing one time bar deadline due to incomplete information, or a report falling through the cracks completely, can have a financial impact in the tens of thousands.
As AI becomes more prevalent in construction, it is likely it will play a role in the solution. Yet there must be careful consideration of the fact that construction is one of the industries where you absolutely cannot have AI making things up.
Bound by the nature of the construction workforce, the conditions on site, and the limitations of AI, one company is quietly scaffolding the solution alongside innovative construction firms that recognise new thinking can deliver outsized returns.
Scopey Onsite.
The company is taking a field-first approach to the problem. In contrast to complex applications that get less use with the introduction of every new feature, or forms that (no matter how specific) ultimately can’t control the input of every person on the ground, Scopey gets better data by keeping it simple.
Scopey Onsite meets field teams where they already are: in messaging apps. Construction companies use Scopey to define the information that they need from the team on site, then Scopey captures that data via WhatsApp. The team on site are prompted, via carefully calibrated AI, for the information that is needed, ensuring that all data is captured in the moment. No retrospective interpretation. No admin chase-up.
Scopey COO, Gillian Laging, highlights an added benefit of their approach is how it is rolled out across a company’s workforce: “We are designing Scopey in such a way that your people in the field don’t need to be trained on how to use it. It’s messaging and voice notes. If detail is missed, Scopey will ask for clarification.”
