OVERVIEW
We improved an existing web application into a platform that holds the potential to revolutionize construction project management. Key deliveries were a revamped UI, improved maintainability, better integration with third-party utilities.
BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
Build a web application that would streamline construction project management, reduce global warming potential (GWP), and enhance sustainability. The goal was to provide a centralized platform for users and construction companies to access and manage data easily.
SOLUTION
Our evaluation showed that an integrated application would be a comprehensive way to achieve the sustainable goals set. We mapped a plan to engineer a tool that can handle the entire supply chain management cycle (without compromising on user experience and data security).
CHALLENGES
This was not a conventional project. We encountered a few challenges that needed careful planning and strict processes to solve them without compromising Reduzer targets.
OUR APPROACH
We followed an agile methodology with sprint planning, iterative design and development, rigorous testing, and regular client engagement.
Tech-Stack Selection
In our pursuit of Reduzer’s cutting-edge status, we undertook a comprehensive modernization. We migrated the project to Vue.js v3 and Vuetify v3, and implemented a well-defined folder structure for improved maintainability.
The billing spikes were addressed by optimizing cloud functions, implementing throttling, and adviseding budget alerts. Finally, by collaborating with Speckle developers, we integrated Speckle login, BIM connector, and 3D viewer for construction data extraction.
Design
We undertook a comprehensive platform redesign to enhance usability. Project creation, CO2 emission calculation and comparison, and other functionalities were streamlined for a more user-friendly experience.
Additionally, we modernized the UI to align with current market trends and ensure it effectively supports the app's core workflows.
Development
We developed a comprehensive suite to streamline construction management. It involved a blend of core development, third-party integrations, and overcoming technical hurdles.
The final product was packed with features like project management, construction object and version tracking, inventory control, and GWP calculations
Deployment
We deployed a robust micro-frontend application with all key modules perfected. This integrated application can serve as a powerful tool that can handle the entire supply chain management cycle for the client.
The deployed versioning and date include:
- Separated core features and integrations for clearer structure
- We replaced technical jargon with clearer explanations for easier readability
PROJECT RESULTS
Reduzer underwent a significant transformation. The resulting app is a more robust and future-proof construction management solution for minimizing Global Warming Potential (GWP). We successfully integrated third-party tools to enable functionalities like instant product search, pivot tables and 3D model integration.
A comprehensive codebase restructuring significantly improved maintainability and stability, minimizing potential issues and simplifying future adaptations.
The final product is a leap towards sustainable construction practices with Reduzer’s help.
