For Construction
Your WhatsApp group isn't project management.
Site supervisors, tradies and PMs already work in group chats. Convoe turns RFIs, variations, defects list items and daily logs from those conversations into tracked work — without the Procore price tag or the Buildertrend client portal.
The app is free, forever · iOS app live · Built with site teams in Melbourne
The problem
The job runs in chat. So does everything you lose.
No owner.
A request fired into a group of 14 — "can someone sort the rebar spec?" — is owned by no one and scrolls away within the hour.
No record.
The instruction, the photo, the variation — all real, all buried. At handover or dispute, there is no trail.
No follow-through.
Whether an RFI gets answered depends on someone remembering it was raised on site. Usually no one does.
What Kai hears
Keep the chat. Kai turns it into tracked work.
“RFI on the level 3 slab — engineer needs the rebar spec by Thursday.”
Kai creates
- RFI logged to the project
- Assigned to the site engineer
- Reminder set · due Thursday
- Linked to the level 3 slab
“Defect on unit 12 — cracked render by the window, photo attached.”
Kai creates
- defects list item logged
- Assigned to the responsible subcontractor
- Photo attached to the work
- Sign-off tracked to practical completion
“Client wants extra power points in the kitchen — that’s a variation.”
Kai creates
- variation raised
- Cost and time impact flagged
- Assigned to the PM
- Awaiting client sign-off
