Problem Statement: 

As Shannon’s team expanded to handle more intricate, large-scale projects, they faced growing difficulties in managing communications and documentation across multiple stakeholders, including contractors, architects, and vendors. Key challenges included:

• Uncoordinated Communication: Keeping everyone informed with the latest project updates was a recurring issue, often leading to miscommunication and project delays.
• Disorganized Documentation: Important files were scattered across platforms like Google Docs and Dropbox, making it time-consuming to locate the most up-to-date versions.
• Time-Consuming Follow-Ups: Gathering specifications, material details, and other critical information required extensive follow-up efforts, slowing overall progress.
• Challenges with Document Updates: Builders and subcontractors occasionally worked with outdated information, resulting in errors, rework, and unnecessary expenses.

• Saved 5-10 hours per week previously spent searching for documents and specifications.
• Saved about 1/4 of a single designer’s salary per month.
