The application designed for tradespeople and contractors:

 Stop wasting your time reading reports! Find all the comments from your contractors in a single app, rather than scattered around your inbox.
Tradespeople and construction companies will be glad to be able to group and manage their tasks in a single mobile application.
Contractors will feel reassured because they can follow the progress of the construction site straight from their phone.

 Contractors using Archireport can now post comments directly to your Archireport Live app. You’ll be able to list, view, and confirm any comments that affect you, straight from the site.
You can even send a photo and a description to your contractor when you finish a task. 
And you can easily check all the documents you need to complete your tasks. 
 NB: 
If they wish to use Archireport Live, a user of Archireport (the site management app) must have shared their comments with you.
