Digital construction documentation for general contractors
Project documentation, defect management and acceptance – across all trades.
General contractors carry responsibility for progress, quality and evidence to the client. deep.rent structures construction documentation, site reports and handover protocols: trades document, defects are tracked, project status reports without media breaks.
GC projects rarely fail on technique – often on documentation
When trades document differently, the GC loses overview for defect management and progress evidence. Uniform templates and central site reports unburden project leads and strengthen position at acceptance and variations.

Construction documentation for general contractors
General contractors need construction documentation that maps defect management and progress evidence across all trades. Without project documentation in a system, GC leads lose overview on site reports and handover protocols.
Documenting acceptance only works when defects and media were captured during construction – not only in the final meeting. Site control and status reports benefit from uniform templates.
deep.rent bundles trade documentation, handover protocols and PDF archive – for GCs that can show the client a clear project status at any time.
