Case Study 2: Commercial Construction – The Matt App

Challenge
Commercial construction involves coordinating multiple skilled trades toward a single goal: opening a building on time. Paper processes, calls, and scattered communication often slowed progress and reduced visibility across subcontractors and general contractors.

Solution
We built the Matt App (Manpower Allocation Time Tracking) in partnership with a commercial HVAC contractor. The app:

• Lives entirely in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

• Provides real-time start/stop notifications from the job site.

• Produces daily reports, material requests, and safety tracking.

• Connects the original manpower plan directly to on-site execution.

Outcome

• Workers and supervisors can instantly see what needs to be done each day.

• Subcontractors and general contractors gain deep insights into job performance.

• Eliminated paper and guesswork, ensuring alignment with the original plan.

The Matt App is now a flagship tool that can be used by subcontractors across trades or by general contractors who self-perform work.
