Testimonials

Raul Hernandez Sosa stated that LetsBuild gives them the ability to have control of what is happening on the site in real time. The real-time schedule and onsite planning tools give them complete vision of the construction site and of the multiple teams collaborating to get work done. As a result, the suppliers, the main office, procurement personnel, onsite workers, and subcontractors are all connected, and managers are aware of everything.

Matt Ghinn recalled that he was introduced to the platform on a Wednesday, and had it set up on Thursday. He briefed his team on Friday, and they were using the software by the weekend. Immediately, they got great returns. LetsBuild allowed them to save time because it automatically generates reports from information in the system. They were able to reap the benefit, and people now have more time to get an idea of what their job is, and deliver it safely on site.

Why LetsBuild

LetsBuild seamlessly combine into one tool the planning and progress communication features of GenieBelt, and the workflow digitalization and day-to-day QHSE activities management of APROPLAN. Instead of using multiple tools, customers can now use an end-to-end platform with all the needed tools for the construction phase, able to link scheduled tasks to quality checklists, and update everything back to digitized master plans. This all-in-one tool enables users to execute projects faster and deliver them efficiently.
