Novade Project Field Control is the execution layer of modern construction projects.​ It captures what actually happens on site — daily activities, progress, changes — and turns field data into trusted, evidence-ready project control.

Why project field control matters

Most delays, disputes, and overruns don’t come from bad planning — they come from poor visibility into what actually happened on site.​

​Novade replaces fragmented project controls with a single field project control platform. It captures execution as it happens, reduces ambiguity, and keeps teams aligned without adding administrative overhead.​

No duplication. No artificial workflows. Fully aligned with how site teams work.

 

Leading contractors, developers, and owners rely on Novade to manage field execution and site
control across building, infrastructure, industrial, energy, and utilities projects.​

Manage all field controls in one platform​

Site diaries
Capture facts

  • Activities by trade, photos, weather, manpower, and observations
  • Creates a single, auditable source of truth for site activity​
Progress tracking
Measure execution
  • Work progress, %completion by task or location, and quantity tracking
  • Turns subjective progress updates into measurable facts​
Field varations
Control change
  • Field-initiated RFIs, Site instructions (SI / FSI) and change orders initiated from the site
  • Prevents undocumented changes
Claims preparation
Prove impact
  • Claims event registers (delay, disruption,
    variation) and impact documentation​
  • Shifts claims from reactive reconstruction to evidence-ready​

Capture site diaries you can rely on

What actually happened on site today?

  • Digitise daily site diaries, including activities by trade, photos, weather, manpower, and observations
  • Eliminate fragmented Excel files, PDFs, and messaging apps
  • Easy to configure and simple to use in the field, with a mobile-first app

Capture site data once, at source​

Track progress with actionable data

Are we building what we planned, at the pace expected?​

  • Digitise progress reporting, including work-package progress, % completion by task or location, and quantity tracking (m², meters, units installed)
  • Monitor productivity indicators (output vs manpower) and planned vs actual execution
  • Turn subjective progress updates into measurable facts, enabling reliable reporting to clients and management

No scheduling logic, no critical path recalculation: field confirmation only

Control field variations

What changed, who instructed it, and when?

  • Digitise field-initiated RFIs required to proceed with work
  • Capture site instructions (SI / FSI), including chat-based instructions, with a clear audit trail
  • Prevent undocumented changes and scope creep through structured approvals

Capture operational changes as they occur in the field — not weeks later in reports.

Build claims-ready evidence

Can we understand and provide evidence the impact of what happened?

  • Digitise claims event registers (delays, disruptions, variations)
  • Support claims readiness and preparation — without replacing legal or commercial claims tools
  • Reduce dispute risk and minimise post-project reconstruction effort

Deliver measurable ROI for contractors and owners​

FAQ

What is construction project control software?

Construction project control software helps project teams capture, measure, and control what actually happens on site.
It focuses on execution data — such as site diaries, progress, changes, and events — to provide objective visibility into project performance, support decision-making, and build reliable, claims-ready records. Unlike planning or cost management tools, project control software is anchored in field-verified facts.

What does project field control include?

Project field control includes the core site-based processes used to manage execution on construction projects, such as:

  • Daily site diaries and activity records
  • Field-verified progress and productivity tracking
  • Management of site instructions, RFIs, and variations
  • Claims event registers and supporting evidence
  • Structured, auditable records of what happened, when, and whyTogether, these elements provide a single, trusted view of site execution for contractors, owners, and consultants
