Site engineer's daily driver

Site management software for Indian construction

Daily progress with photos, RFI tracking, punch lists, safety incidents, equipment hours, site-worker attendance — designed for the phone you carry on site.

The site engineer doesn't open a 20-tab dashboard. They open one screen, log progress, attach photos, raise an RFI if blocked, mark a punch-list item resolved. Rebaar's mobile flow is built around those five actions — everything else is for the PM and the office.

What you actually get

One-tap daily progress
Open project → today's screen → tap percentage progress per active BOQ line → optional photo + note. Submit. Done in 90 seconds.
Site photos with auto-compression
Phone camera → client-side compress to 1600px → background upload. Even on patchy 3G, the queue retries until done. Photos timestamped, geotagged (if permitted), and stamped with project.
RFI in 3 fields
Subject, attachment, due-from-whom. RFI gets a number, fires a notification to the consultant, lands in the daily digest the next morning if not answered.
Punch list on walk-through
Walk the site → punch list mode → tap an item → photo → owner → resolved-by date. Each item lives until the responsible party closes it.
Worker attendance + wages
Daily worker attendance entered by the site supervisor. Linked to project labour cost. Weekly wage payment with statutory deductions (EPF if registered).
Material indents
Site needs cement / steel / aggregate — raise an indent against a BOQ line, PM approves, store issues, inventory decrements atomically. No more "the steel never came" arguments.
Equipment hour logging
Crane / excavator / mixer hour-meter at start and end of day. Utilisation against target hours. Rental return alerts before extra charges kick in.
Safety incident reports
Near-miss, first-aid, lost-time-injury. Photo, witness, corrective action. Required for any safety audit — collected on the day, not reconstructed at month-end.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work on my engineer's ₹8,000 Android phone?
Yes. Rebaar is a PWA — runs in Chrome / any modern browser. We target Android 8+ and reasonably low-RAM devices. Photo compression and background upload handle patchy site connectivity.
What if the site has no internet?
Core read screens cache for offline access. Mutations (creating an RFI, logging progress) require connectivity by design — the audit trail is server-side. The PWA queues photo uploads when offline and pushes them when back online.
Can workers log their own attendance?
Worker self-attendance is available but typically the site supervisor enters group attendance (faster, no per-worker login). The system supports both modes.
How does material indent → issue work?
Site engineer raises an indent against a BOQ line (specifying quantity, urgency). PM approves. Store issues the material; inventory atomically decrements with the right WHERE clause so concurrent issues can't go negative. The BOQ line shows material consumed vs estimated.
Can the site supervisor be on a different phone than the PM?
Yes — every user has their own account with role-appropriate access. Supervisor sees their site only; PM sees all assigned projects; Owner sees everything. Mobile and desktop work side-by-side.
Does it support local languages?
English is fully wired. Hindi (`hi`) emails for welcome and salary slip exist. Tamil and Kannada fallback to English. We add translations as customers ask for them — getting Indic-language labour to use the app is a competitive moat.
How is the photo storage handled?
Photos go to S3 (or any S3-compatible store you configure). Each photo carries the project ID, uploader, timestamp, and optional geotag. They're served via signed URLs to prevent enumeration. You own the bucket.
