Tatemi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Representative Director: Shigeyuki Ogawa, hereinafter "Tatemi") has implemented the site inspection application "Check+" (Check Plus), provided by M-Soft Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito Ward, Tokyo, Representative Director: Keisuke Sato, hereinafter "M-Soft"). This implementation enables the prevention of procedural omissions at construction sites and smooth progress confirmation for each project, leading to reduced management workload for site supervisors and further improvement in construction quality.

Tatemi Co., Ltd. is a custom home builder specializing in wooden houses, headquartered in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The company develops "The 3rd Custom-Built Home®" and offers high-quality solid wood homes that leverage the strengths of both semi-custom and full-custom options, as well as ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) and high-performance homes that exceed energy efficiency standards. With a wealth of construction experience primarily in the Fuji Five Lakes region, Tatemi supports customers in building secure and understandable homes through clear total pricing and model home displays.

However, with multiple construction sites proceeding simultaneously throughout the year, the company faced two challenges in construction management. The first was "prevention of procedural omissions in construction." To continue providing high-quality housing, there was an inherent risk of confirmation lapses with traditional paper-based checklists and person-dependent management. The second was "smooth progress confirmation for each project." Site supervisors spent significant time and effort traveling to and inspecting multiple sites to grasp the situation, making it difficult to ascertain accurate real-time progress from the office.

Therefore, to digitize the site construction management system and achieve both quality assurance and operational efficiency, the decision was made to implement the site inspection application "Check+."

Usage and Results

1. Preventing "Construction Procedure Omissions" by Making Digital Checklists Mandatory: Standardizing Tatemi's High Construction Quality Across the Entire Site

The "Check+" application resolves the issue of incomplete entries and overlooked items that could not be prevented with paper checklists. By digitizing the confirmation items for each process and setting checks and photo registrations as "mandatory items," the system prevents users from skipping steps and proceeding to the next stage. Following easy-to-understand digital work procedure manuals ensures reliable "prevention of construction procedure omissions" independent of the experience level of the personnel, leading to more stable and improved construction quality for the ZEH and high-performance homes that Tatemi is committed to.

2. Achieving Smooth Progress Confirmation for Each Project through Real-Time Cloud Recording: Significantly Reducing Site Supervisors' Management Workload

Previously, accurately grasping the progress of construction sites required site supervisors to visit the sites in person or make individual inquiries via phone or message. After implementing "Check+," a system has been established where information is immediately reflected in the cloud simply by site personnel and craftspeople completing checks and registering site photos from their smartphones or tablets. This allows site supervisors to smoothly and accurately grasp the current stage of each project, even when they are in the office or at another site, significantly reducing the time and effort required for site visits and confirmations.

Future Outlook

Tatemi plans to expand the scope of "Check+" utilization beyond on-site construction management to include other internal tasks, such as checklists for contract signing. By continuing to promote operational efficiency through the advancement of site DX (Digital Transformation), the company aims to improve the working environment for its employees while further enhancing the quality of housing and services provided to customers.
