Kenaidan Construction undertook the development of a Construction Project Management tool using Microsoft Power Platform and SharePoint as the database. The tool aimed to streamline project management processes, enhance communication, and improve overall efficiency across their operations.
The Challenge
Kenaidan Construction faced significant challenges with outdated project management systems and inefficient communication methods across various project sites. There was a clear need for a centralized platform that could simplify project creation, streamline daily reporting, manage punch lists, handle RFIs (Requests for Information), oversee submittals, and enhance notification systems.
