Touch2build user guide

Touch2build helps you track your construction sites. Tasks are recorded in the field and located on the drawings, then assigned to the right people. You follow their progress in real time.

This guide explains how to use the application. To find out about Touch2build and its pricing, go to touch2build.com.

Two applications, one project

Touch2build includes two complementary applications. They share the same projects, drawings and tasks.

  • The mobile app: on the construction site

    This is the field tool. On site, you use it to record tasks on the drawings, take photos and update statuses.

    It works offline by default. You work normally even without a network, in a basement or in a dead zone. It syncs automatically as soon as it finds a connection again.

    Mobile app guide

  • The web app: in the office

    This is the management tool, designed for a computer with a keyboard and mouse. You use it to create projects, manage members and their rights and import drawings. It also lets you sort and follow tasks, plan and produce reports.

    Web app guide

Who does what?

In practice, tasks are almost always created in the field with the mobile app. In the office, the web app is used to prepare the project beforehand, then to work with what comes back from the site: tracking, reminders, reassignments, reports.

Where to start

Are you setting up Touch2build for your company? Start in the office, in the web app:

  1. Create your first project: name, address, team and drawings in a few minutes.
  2. Add the members and give them the right rights.
  3. Add your drawings or maps, then install the mobile app on the field team's phones.

New: forms and inspections

Safety check-lists, daily reports, acceptance checks: fill them in on site, turn non-conformities into tasks and get a Word report. See Forms and inspections.

New: site meetings

The agenda suggested from tasks and planning, the meeting held on a tablet, the minutes sent before you leave the site, with proof of sending. See Site meetings.

Who pays?

Only the person who creates and runs the projects needs a subscription. Invited companies work on their tasks free of charge. See Licence and subscription.
