Construction
Giga-projects set the pace
Contractors working on Saudi and Qatari programmes face client reporting demands built for much larger firms. Weekly reports eat site managers' time.
Site and office are apart
Daily reports, photos and variations travel by WhatsApp. By the time they reach the office, the cost is already committed.
Subcontractor chains are long
In Portugal, Spain and the Gulf alike, projects depend on many subcontractors. Knowing who is late, early, is most of the battle.
Projects finish late and over budget
Nobody knows a project is late until it is.
Key people hold everything in their heads
One resignation away from not knowing how things work.
The management team runs on WhatsApp and spreadsheets
Decisions live in chat threads and private files.

Use cases
- Lower overheadForward-deployedConstructionReal estate
Our technicians mostly drive.
Jobs are given out from a whiteboard and phone calls, so technicians cross the city twice and come back for parts. We match jobs to skill and location automatically.
Example Request to dispatch: 6 hours → 20 min
- Faster cyclesForward-deployedDistribution and wholesaleConstruction
Customers wait days for a quote.
Then they buy elsewhere. Enquiries sit in a shared inbox, prices live in a spreadsheet and the owner signs every quote. We get a qualified, priced quote out the same day.
Example Quote turnaround: 3 days → 4 hours
- VisibilityBothConstructionProfessional services
Our projects finish late.
And nobody knows until the end. Status lives in five tools and a Monday meeting, so delays surface when it is too late. We give leadership one live view and an early warning.
Example Days late before anyone knows: 9 → 1
- Ready to scaleConsultingLogisticsConstruction
Two people hold the operation.
All of it, in their heads. If the operations manager or the dispatcher is off sick, the business slows down. We get what they know onto paper and into the systems.
Example Critical processes only one person knows: 5 → 0
- Ready to scaleConsultingDistribution and wholesaleConstruction
Family business needs structure.
It's time to professionalize. The next generation is joining, non-family managers want clear authority, and decisions still happen at the dinner table. We set up governance that respects the family and lets managers manage.
Example Approval wait for managers: 14 days → 2 days

Questions
What does Devvion do for construction firms?
Devvion steps in on project reporting, cost control, field coordination and the governance between site and head office. We start with a two-week assessment of finished projects.
Do you work with Primavera or Procore?
Yes. Devvion connects to the planning and site tools you run and to your ERP for cost, so reports come from data, not memory.
