Case Studies

As one of the fastest-growing and successful quantity surveying firms in the industry, our client is dedicated to delivering comprehensive and accurate tax depreciation schedules with a personalized touch. Specializing in tax depreciation schedules for residential investment properties and commercial buildings, they uphold a reputation for excellence and precision.

The client sought a software development partner to create an Android-based mobile app for their surveyors. Quantitative surveyors grapple with the arduous task of collecting vast amounts of data, a process prone to inefficiencies and errors. While the client had previously developed an iOS app in-house, they lacked expertise in Android app development. Thus, they sought a partner experienced in Android app development who could seamlessly collaborate with their in-house team.

Rheal emerged as the chosen partner, embarking on the development of an Android app tailored for quantitative surveyors. The app aimed to streamline data collection processes and facilitate accurate surveys for residential and commercial properties.

Employing Xamarin Forms, Rheal proposed a cross-platform mobile app solution for Android and iOS. Xamarin Forms enables the creation of cross-platform native mobile apps using a shared codebase, ensuring platform-independent functionality while accommodating platform-specific requirements through separate libraries.

Key Features of the App:

• Job List: Displays assignments allocated to quantitative surveyors.
• Job Details: Provides property information such as type, inspection details, and access specifications.
• Property Attributes: Logs land information, building details, internal and external features, as well as additional property amenities.
• Unit Specific attributes: Captures details related to individual units, including floor coverings, fixtures, appliances, and climate control systems.
• Common property attributes: Records common property features like foyer, basement, interior/exterior works, and building assets.
• Image Capture: Enables the capture of high-quality images of properties, units, and relevant details.
• Navigation Map and Voice Recording Features: Facilitates navigation to survey locations and voice annotations during inspections.

Rheal's collaboration empowered the client to successfully deploy the Android version of the app to their quantitative surveyors, facilitating accurate and timely surveys. By leveraging the app's intuitive features, surveyors achieved enhanced efficiency and accuracy in data collection processes, ensuring superior service delivery to clients.
