Get and manage design & construction projects through day-to-day messaging

Some problems remain unsolved; We solve them all.

Arkchat solves some of the pressing problems you face today as a professional firm owner in the Architecture, Engineering, & Construction industry. You face these problems despite using a messaging platform, a task, or a project management tool to manage your projects and social media platforms to grow your business.

What follows are nine problems that are now solved to make your firm more efficient and profitable.

Problem

Communication gaps slow down your projects

For every project, you create multiple messaging groups for your client, designers, PMC professionals, engineers, and contractor teams. That’s because everyone can read every message. Members in different groups can’t converse with each other, and members in the same group can’t converse privately. Hence, communication gaps arise, slowing the pace of work.

Solution

Communication gaps are history

Create one group for every project. Now, you can converse privately with select group members. Being in one group allows diverse team members to collaborate efficiently without compromising privacy.

Problem

Scattered discussions and scattered files, can you find them easily?

100s of messages in a group daily, and multiple groups, for every project! Can you easily find a conversation you had 22 days ago about the V4 drawing of your client’s living room?

Solution

Discussions and files- organised.

In your project groups, organise conversations and documents topic-wise for easy reference. In a home project group, make the living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc., into topics and organise conversations, drawings, designs, BOQs, snag images, videos, etc., about these topics for easy reference.

Problem

How do you communicate with clients, sellers, and site workers who speak another language?

Don’t you continuously face language barriers while working on European projects, buying from China, collaborating with site workers in India, and working and buying in other countries?

 

Solution

You type, we translate automatically.

One project group with 100 group members speaking 20 different languages! No problem. Everyone sends a message in their first language, and others receive it in their first language. We bridge communication gaps.

Problem

Don’t you keep reminding everyone what to do?

You can’t track tasks you assign verbally, through email, or messages to teams involved in your projects. As a result, tasks are forgotten and hence delayed. You wish you had a task management tool, but they’re expensive and difficult to manage.

Solution

Click a button while sending a message. We convert your message into a trackable task. You’ll always know what’s done, pending, and delayed. Now, you can manage projects effortlessly to avoid delays.

Problem

Delayed approvals delay projects

Your juniors seek approvals from you. Engineers, contractors, and product sellers seek approvals from the design team, and principal designers seek client approvals. Busy schedules, procrastination, inability to make timely decisions, and forgetting approval requests are some reasons for delayed approvals. You can’t track approvals to take proactive actions.

 

Solution

Now track every approval effortlessly  

Just as we convert messages to tasks, we also convert messages to approval requests. A click converts any message into an approval request.  Now, you can track approvals to avoid delays
