How Do I Track Construction Progress Across Several Job Sites?
To track construction progress across several job sites, break each project into standard phases with planned dates, let site managers update progress from the field and compare planned and actual progress for every site in one dashboard.
In Jestor, each job site is a project with phases, tasks and a Gantt view, and all sites roll up into a single overview.
Why is multi-site progress hard to follow?
Construction companies running several sites at once depend on calls, photos in chat groups and weekly visits to know where each project stands.
Information arrives late, in different formats, and managers discover delays when they are already expensive.
Owners and clients also ask for updates, and the team spends hours gathering the same information again.
What problems does central progress tracking solve?
- Delays discovered too late
- Updates scattered across calls and messages
- No standard way to report progress
- Hours spent preparing status reports
- No comparison between sites
How do I track progress in Jestor?
- Create a project per job site with standard phases such as foundation, structure, installations and finishes.
- Set planned dates for each phase and show them on a Gantt view.
- Let site managers update percentage complete and photos from their phone.
- Highlight phases behind schedule with conditional colors.
- Build a dashboard comparing planned and actual progress across sites.
| Phase | Typical update | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Percentage complete | Site photos |
| Structure | Floors completed | Photos and notes |
| Installations | Systems installed | Checklist |
| Finishes | Rooms completed | Photos |
How do field updates reach the office?
Site managers update phases on mobile at the end of each day. The office sees the change immediately on the project board.
Photos attached to each phase replace long message threads and become part of the project's history.
Why use Jestor for construction progress?
- Projects with Gantt: phases, dates and dependencies visible.
- Mobile updates: progress and photos sent from the site.
- Ready start: the Project Management solution in the Jestor templates installs in about two minutes.
- Portfolio dashboard: all sites in one view.
Standard phases make comparisons fair. When every site reports with the same structure, managers can see which teams or project types tend to slip, and plan the next projects with better estimates.
This is how you track construction progress across several job sites without chasing updates.
