What we did

The challenge: transparent communication on every construction project

The main business challenge for AOB is permanent monitoring of the construction process and clear, transparent communication between customer and contractor.

  • Monitor the construction process at all times
  • Agree on the budget
  • Agree on the timeline
  • Agree on the visual composition of the future home or office

The solution: all the communication in one place

  • Usability first

    Usability inaccuracies were tested out before the UI design of the app screens began.

  • Simple, light visual style

    A simple and light visual style within the color palette agreed with the client.

  • iOS style guide

    The design team followed the iOS style guide.

  • Private chat

    Set milestones, calculate an approximate budget for each stage, set the timeline and agree on the concept.

  • Notifications

    All participants are notified about changes as soon as they happen.

  • Offline mode

    The most important features work without an Internet connection, and all data is securely stored on a server.

For owners

Control every detail of your build

Owners monitor the construction or renovation, comment on progress and share the results with contractors, partners, and family.

  • Monitor the construction process
  • Comment on the progress
