Get started

Three steps.
Then you are on site.

01

Sign in with Google

Open dlbifield.stratagemlabs.dev and use the Google account your admin added.

02

Add to home screen

iPhone: Safari, Share, Add to Home Screen. Android: Chrome menu, Install app.

03

Open your project

Your projects are on the first screen. Managers see a short checklist until a new project is ready.

Plans

Your drawings, on site.

Upload the PDF set once. Every sheet is ready on every phone, even with no signal.

  • Sheet numbers read for you. A-101, S-201 come straight from the title block.
  • New revisions, same pins. Upload the same number and compare versions with a slider.
  • Pinch, zoom, swipe from sheet to sheet.
How it works
  1. Plans tab, Upload plans. Pick PDF sets or images. A computer is easiest for big sets.
  2. Check the sheet numbers in the list, add titles, Upload.
  3. Open a sheet. Sheet menu: versions, compare, show closed tasks, rename, archive.

Pin colours: red Open, amber In progress, black For review, green Closed.

Sheet list
Tasks

Tap the plan.
Log the problem.

Exactly where it is, with a photo, the trade and who fixes it. Done in seconds on a walk.

Tap the plan where the task is
New task form
How it works
  1. Open a sheet and tap Add task.
  2. Tap the exact spot. Write what needs doing.
  3. Set priority, trade, company, person and due date. Add photos. Create.
  4. On the task: change status, tick checklist items, comment, Move pin.

Photos are stamped with the project, task, time and your name. The Tasks tab filters by status, company, person, trade, sheet or overdue. The trade you used last carries to the next pin.

Review

Nothing closes
until you say so.

Fixes come back with photos. A manager approves or sends them back with a note.

Open→In progress→For review→Closed
  • Approve and close when the fix photos look right.
  • Send back with what is still wrong. It returns to Open, and the sub sees your note.
  • Only managers close. Members move work up to For review.

Markups

Mark it up. Right on the sheet.

Clouds, arrows, boxes and notes, seen by the whole team.

  • Six tools, four colours. Pen, arrow, line, box, revision cloud, text.
  • One finger draws, two fingers zoom.
  • Stays put when a new sheet version comes in.
How it works
  1. Open a sheet, tap Markup.
  2. Pick a tool and colour, draw. Text asks what to write.
  3. Undo removes your last one. The eraser removes yours; managers can remove any. Done.

Markups at the top of the sheet shows or hides them.

How it works
  1. Forms tab, Today's daily report.
  2. Weather, people and hours per company, work, equipment, deliveries, delays, visitors, photos.
  3. Submit. It locks; a manager can reopen. Print / PDF anytime.

Inspection

Pass, Fail or N/A for each item. A failed item takes a note and photos, and becomes a task in one tap.

How it works
  1. New inspection, pick a checklist, say where.
  2. Mark each item. On a fail, add a note and photos, then Make a task.
  3. Submit. Managers are notified about failed items.

Managers keep checklists under Checklists. Starters: Pre-pour, Safety walk, Turnover.

RFIs and submittals

Questions answered.
Drawings approved.

Every answer and every decision, kept on record with the files.

RFIs

Ask the architect, engineer or a sub. The answer is marked as the official answer, with a date and a name.

How it works
  1. More, RFIs, New RFI: subject, question, who answers, date needed.
  2. They get a notification. A sub company answers from its private link.
  3. A manager closes it when settled. Numbers run RFI-001, RFI-002.
An answered RFI

Submittals

Shop drawings, product data and samples, reviewed revision by revision.

How it works
  1. More, Submittals, New submittal: title, type, spec section, company, reviewer.
  2. The sub uploads files from its link and submits.
  3. Decide: Approved, Approved as noted, Revise and resubmit, or Rejected. Resubmissions become Rev 1, Rev 2.

Questions

Good to know.

It says I am not on the team.

An Admin needs to add your Google email on Team. Sign in with that same Google account.

I worked with no signal. Is it saved?

Yes, on the phone. It goes out when you are back online. The top bar shows how many changes are waiting.

New drawings came in. Will the pins move?

Upload with the same sheet number. It becomes a new version, and pins and markups stay where they are. Use Compare to see what changed.

A sheet number was read wrong.

Fix it in the list before uploading. Later: open the sheet, Sheet menu, Edit number and title.

Why did a subcontractor's fix not close the task?

Fixes come in as For review, so someone from DLBI checks the photos first.

I do not get phone notifications.

Open the bell and tap Turn on phone notifications. On iPhone, open DLBI Field from the home screen icon first, and check the phone allows notifications for it.

What is "SMX CITE (demo)"?

Sample data to try every feature. The people in it are made up. It will be removed before going live.
