Dave Jones, Inc. turns to GoFormz to stay on the cutting edge

Dave Jones, Inc. prides itself on quality and staying on the cutting edge of new products and services. That’s why they turned to GoFormz to improve communication and documentation of residential construction projects. Documenting every phase of a construction project—plumbing, heating, cooling, gas piping, fire protection, service & remolding—required reams of paperwork. The process of collecting the data in the field and returning it to the office could take up to 3 weeks. As a result, project managers often discovered issues after the fact, when it was too late to properly address them.

Quality assurance and job costing happen in real-time with GoFormz

GoFormz is so easy to use, Dave Jones, Inc. had no problem rolling it out to the Residential Construction department, where most of the field employees had limited computer experience. Equipped with a tablet, workers can simply complete the required GoFormz check-list for each phase of the project. And the flexibility of GoFormz makes it easy to create different check-list forms for each phase on each project.

Now, check lists are automatically emailed to project managers, who get alerted to potential issues in real-time. The countertop isn’t set? Then it’s documented on the form and the project manager knows that a return trip will be necessary to finish the sink and faucet installation.

With GoFormz, Dave Jones, Inc. also has a record of homeowner input throughout the course of the project. So when builders have questions about particular decisions, Dave Jones, Inc. has the answers.

Completing GoFormz check-lists for every project phase has benefits beyond quality assurance. Since data about labor and materials is included in the report, Dave Jones, Inc. can provide accurate job costing for financial statements in real-time.
