Full-featured Project Management Solution for Construction Industry

XB Software’s development team created the frontend of an online management system for the construction industry based on React. The software consists of several main modules that lets users review the following info:

• available resources
• employees info
• projects
• tasks
• connections between existing tasks

The list of projects allows users to review and create new projects. The table contains the start and end dates of all assignments, and it also allows users to set the approximate number of working hours needed to complete the project. The list of resources lets users review and edit company employee data. The list displays such info as employee’s name, specialty, the number of active projects, hourly rate, and more. Company managers can use this software to review all specialists that are assigned to a particular project which means they can allocate human resources more efficiently.

The management software allows users to define the relationships between the available assignments and their interdependence. The list of available human resources simplifies the assignment of staff members to particular projects, which is pretty useful for the given industry. For example, a handyperson can’t start doing the work before the architect has finished with planning. The complexity of project management can increase many times if you have to handle multiple projects located in different cities and states. The software provides info on all current project and available employees in an easy-to-read way. Besides monitoring the progress of work, managers also have access to info that allows them to make estimations and plan ahead.

The resource calendar allows users to review tasks assigned to a particular staff member. Our developers used dhtmlxScheduler to create the Month View for the calendar. The project view contains a Gantt chart based on dhtmlxGantt. It provides a visual representation of a particular project. Users can select one of the available projects to see the assignments it consists of, check or change the percentage of their completion, and create or edit the new ones. Besides the Gantt chart, this software provides a resource view that helps to estimate the workload of each participant of the project.
