We are committed to reducing the overhead costs on any project. Either by reusing information already being gathered or by using the web to make better information available over a wider range. Our aim is to save time, provide clearer instructions, reduce redundancy, and ultimately save projects money.
We are always looking for ways to improve our services and welcome any comments. Please send any comments to welisten@kalaq.com
We have several areas for uploading and viewing files. Only the contractor can upload files, all others can open and view the files here.
To upload hit BROWSE, a new window will open on your machine with your explore program. Locate a file saved on your machine and double click - that will place that file name in the BROWSE window. Type in a short description (19 letters max.) and hit UPLOAD. Your file will be online. Easy.
File sizes are limited to 1 Megabyte.
Standard daily form. Data from this form also generates several secondary reports designed to save the project time when updating progress reports and schedules. By simply filling out the daily form, these extra reports are automatically generated.
Uses the simple file upload format. Both MS Project and Primavera have Internet friendly print files but both have limited range. Print using Adobe Acrobat and upload PDF files for larger schedules. Upload as many files as you feel are necessary including summary schedules, the original master schedule, an updated progress schedule, and a few one and three week look-ahead schedules. Uploading a file with the same name will replace that file online and update the dates.
Uses the simple file upload format. This area is for organization charts, phone/contact lists, unit rate lists, etc.
Also uses the simple file upload format. Weekly meetings can be uploaded in MS Word or any other format. MS Word opens on your local PC to open msword.doc files.
Our Request for Information form looks like most of the rest and shouldn't be difficult to use. We do have some extra tricks with our form. First, if you enter an email address in one of the top three boxes that person will automatically be notified via email of the new RFI. If they login with Architect/Engineer access privileges they can answer the RFI online anytime.
We also have the ability to upload files for attaching to the RFI. You can take a picture of a problem and they can answer with a sketch, catalog cut or detailed memo. Everyone can open the same original clean clear digital file. Imagine getting a legible response within hours of posting the question.
You have to check out the RFI's in our demo - this is so much better than the old print and fax system people are using today. We will be adding some sorting and filtering capabilities soon.
Submittal and Procurement Logs
Uses the simple file upload format. Generally three files, Submittal log from the home office, home and field purchasing logs.
Again uses the simple file upload format. Digital photos for viewing project progress. Use the lower pixel features on the camera. Maximum file size is one Megabyte. Larger photos take longer to open.
Our incomplete work list management system is what makes online collaboration work. Anyone can enter any issue anytime. The contractor reviews, approves and assigns the tasks to his crews. The crews and subcontractors can pull up and easily identify their individual lists on their own. This is beautiful. Even if the contractor ends up managing this list, just being able sort the tasks by trade or crew and providing smaller work lists to their crews will save a lot of time.
All questionable or unclear tasks can be sorted into a review group for the managers' meeting to discuss. Since this separate list is also online, they can review the problem list before the meeting and bring solutions to the meeting rather than discuss the problems.
Uses the simple file upload format. Upload monthly project progress reports. Open to all viewers.
Uses the simple file upload format. Use this for logging in crew safety meetings. Use any file format including scanned meeting/sign off sheets.

Uses the simple file upload format. Contractor's area for uploading secure information not accessible to any other viewers except those with contractors privileges.
