David L. Carter

General Contractor, Denver, CO

A general contractor overseeing large-scale construction projects needs a way to efficiently manage multiple painting jobs for various tradespeople. The challenge is maintaining consistency across different areas, ensuring that deadlines are met, and communicating with both clients and subcontractors. Here are six simple steps in Ametra App that help David manage all his projects:

1. Create Project for Construction Job

Create a comprehensive project for each construction site, naming it by the job’s address. Organizing the project from the start allows for better tracking and management across all stages of the construction project.

2. Add and Organize Areas and Items

Break down the project into areas like "Floor 1," "Floor 2," and "Exterior," and list items like "Walls" and "Doors." This hierarchical structure simplifies the coordination of painting work across a large project, ensuring nothing is missed.

3. Capture Target Colors from Client Materials

Extract colors from client-provided materials or inspiration photos. This ensures that paint colors are aligned with the client's vision, reducing misunderstandings and avoiding costly mistakes.

4. Match Paint Colors from Libraries

Match extracted colors with available paint options and narrow down selections based on brand. Using the Paint Libraries allows for precise matching of the target color, helping contractors stay within the client’s color preferences and brand limitations.

5. Track Progress with Control Photos

Take photos at regular intervals to track painting progress in different areas. Tracking progress through photos makes it easier to manage deadlines and verify that work is completed to specifications.

6. Review Final Work

After the painting job is completed, review the final photos and ensure everything meets quality standards. This review ensures the contractor’s work aligns with both the client’s expectations and contractual agreements, providing quality assurance.
