Submittals with context
Keep the current drawing, review status, field information, and scope decision together. No more approving an attachment without knowing what superseded it.
Elevator contractor project software
One record from award to signoff.
You won the elevator job. Now you own the schedule in front of the general contractor, building owner, and field team. Build It Track It keeps the cab manufacturer’s submittals, survey facts, drawing status, delivery coordination, installation evidence, and final acceptance connected to the job you have to deliver.
Contractor control
Stop managing the cab package from forwarded email.
A cab package can look quiet while four dependencies are moving underneath it. The field survey may not match the bid documents. A shop drawing may be waiting on one finish decision. A change order may be holding final approval. The quoted delivery date may no longer fit the manufacturer’s material or shop plan. A single project record makes those handoffs readable.
Dates with dependencies
See the project’s progression toward purchasing, material readiness, production, and delivery instead of treating an early lead time as a fixed ship date.
Closeout with evidence
Keep installer uploads, delivery status, walkthrough actions, open items, and acceptance attached to the same job history.
Four critical stages
From field truth to final signature.
Contractors do not need every internal screen the manufacturer uses. They need a dependable view of the moments that change scope, schedule, site readiness, and acceptance. These four stages carry that accountability.
Stage 2
Field survey
Measurements, site photos, access conditions, and field notes attach to the cab job before engineering commits the details. The contractor can see what was captured and raise a mismatch while it can still be resolved on paper.
Stage 4
Shop drawings
Every revision has a place in the history. Approval status is visible. Final for Record creates the hard line between a drawing under review and the drawing purchasing and fabrication are expected to follow.
Stage 10
Installation evidence
Assigned installers open the day’s work from a no-login link and upload photos or video to the project. A not-delivered status stops an incomplete handoff from quietly advancing into closeout.
Stage 11
Closeout and signoff
Delivery evidence leads into walkthrough scheduling, inspection, open-item correction, and in-person acceptance. Signoff and final payment happen in sequence before the project closes.
The full twelve-stage elevator cab workflow supplies the context around these contractor touchpoints. Estimating, contract, final estimate, deposit, purchasing, receipt, and production remain connected even when your role does not expose their internal details.
Drawing control
Know which shop drawing is buildable.
“Approved” is not useful if the field team, engineer, manufacturer, and contractor are each holding a different revision. Stage 4 keeps the revision history intact. A material- or price-impacting change belongs in the change-order log. The manufacturer locks the drawing at Final for Record when review is complete.
That locked record gives purchasing and the shop a controlled basis for work. It also gives the contractor a direct answer when the GC asks whether the cab package is still in review. Read the elevator submittal and drawing approval guide for the full handoff.
Role-scoped participation
Shared record. Not shared everything.
The cab manufacturer owns the project record. Contractors and installers participate with access scoped to their assigned projects and required actions. You can coordinate the field handoff without entering the manufacturer’s private operating room.
- See job information and customer-facing milestones relevant to your work.
- Act on assigned survey, drawing, installation, or closeout requirements.
- Keep manufacturer costs, internal shop discussion, and unrelated jobs private.
Elevator contractor software questions
Clear answers about access, drawing approvals, field capture, and closeout.
What does elevator contractor project software track?
Build It Track It keeps survey information, submittals, shop drawing revisions, delivery commitments, installation evidence, punch-list work, and final signoff tied to one elevator cab job. The contractor sees the parts of the manufacturer’s project record required to coordinate the work. Internal manufacturer costing, shop discussion, and other restricted information remain outside that role-scoped view.
Can an elevator contractor track shop drawing approvals?
Yes. Drawing revisions and approval status live in Stage 4 rather than in disconnected email attachments. The record shows which revision is current and whether engineering has reached Final for Record. That distinction matters: purchasing and fabrication should not proceed from an old submittal or from a drawing that is still moving through review.
How does the platform handle field conditions that differ from the drawing?
Stage 2 keeps survey measurements, photos, and site notes on the job record so engineering can compare field conditions with the intended scope. If a later condition changes material or price, the revision can be logged and handled through the change-order process before the drawing reaches Final for Record. The record preserves what changed and why.
What can elevator installers upload from the field?
At Stage 10, an assigned installer can use a no-login link to open the day’s job information and upload photos or video directly to the project record. Staff can also mark material not delivered, which prevents the job from moving into closeout. The exact required capture set depends on the project’s installation requirements.
Does Build It Track It replace the elevator cab manufacturer’s internal system?
Not for a contractor participating in a manufacturer-led job. The manufacturer owns and operates the full twelve-stage record. Contractors and installers receive role-scoped access to the projects and actions relevant to them. That shared view reduces status chasing without exposing internal estimates, purchasing decisions, costs, or unrelated customer work.
How are punch lists and final signoff handled?
Installation evidence feeds the Stage 11 closeout process. The project can move into walkthrough scheduling, final inspection, correction of open items, and in-person signature only after delivery is recorded. Final payment follows signoff, and then the job closes. This keeps the punch list, acceptance evidence, and closeout decision attached to the same project history.
Carry the cab job cleanly through signoff.
