Chantier
A field tool that keeps construction sites moving.
Construction sites run on information that lives in too many places: paper, phone calls, group chats, someone’s memory. Chantier is a working title for a tool I built to pull that into one place.
Context
On a job site, the distance between “what was planned” and “what is actually happening” is where money and days disappear. The people who hold the truth are on ladders and in trenches — not in front of a laptop — so any tool that expects office behaviour from field workers is dead on arrival.
What I built
A field-first operations tool: site planning, progress tracking and reporting, designed around the constraints of the terrain — quick capture, readable in sunlight, forgiving of interruptions and spotty connectivity. I designed and built it across the stack, from the data model to the interface.
Impact
Fewer status calls, fewer surprises at the end of the week. The site’s state became something you look up rather than something you reconstruct — and the reporting that used to be an evening chore now falls out of the day’s normal work.
