Maintaining fire safety in your construction project is important, not just for compliance purposes but also to protect yourself from future claims.
Read this step-by-step guide on using Ctrldoc’s powerful Firedoc fire audit app to manage fire compliance records accurately.
1. Request a Product Demo
The first thing you should do is contact Ctrldoc to request a product demo. This will give you a much clearer idea of what Firedoc does and how to use it.
2. Ctrldoc Will Issue a Service Proposal
If you like what you saw in the product demo, our team will reach out with a service proposal and our rates. Once this is approved, you will need to provide us with the details for your first project. Pricing can either be structured on a project-by-project basis or on a subscription model.
3. Ctrldoc Will Create an Account for Each User
Setup is simple, as we will create user accounts for everyone who needs one working on the project. We will email each user with their account details and password.
4. Ctrldoc Will Schedule a Training Session
If this is the first time for any users working with Ctrldoc, we will set up a training session and provide training resources for anyone on the project who needs it.
We can also offer additional training if needed. Moreover, all of our training resources are also available online.
5. Ctrldoc Will Create the Project
To make things simple, we will set up your project for you, upload any drawings you provide and collaborate with you to develop a company database of treatment profiles that can be used for both initial and future projects.
6. Download the App
Once all of this is complete, you and your team should download the app so that you have access via your mobile devices when working on site.
7. Work Online and Offline
With Firedoc, you don’t have to be connected to the internet to keep working. Once you get back online, the app will automatically update to the cloud with any updates to ensure everything is synced.
8. Contact Support if Needed
If you run into any issues, you can contact the dedicated Australia-based support team anytime from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
With everything now set up, here are some of the things you can do quickly and easily with Firedoc:
1. Add Penetration Data
Once your project has been set up, it’s time to record your penetrations on site.
With the Firedoc app open on your mobile device, you can select the penetration location on the building plan by tapping on the relevant spot. During this process, you can add photographic evidence using your mobile device's camera and input various details, including the treatment profile and updates on the progress of each point.
All the information captured is linked to a specific location on the plan with a unique location ID.
2. Managing Treatment Profiles
Choose the relevant treatment profile from a library of profiles specific to your company and project or create a custom profile on the spot.
3. Customisable Labels
Easily generate your labels for on-site installations and customise them with the project details that are relevant to you. While on site, you can quickly retrieve all the penetration information by scanning the QR code.
4. Review and Monitor the Progress
Use the project dashboard to get an overview of the progress of your work at any time. Share progress with live updates and see which items require completion for each location.
5. Generate Reports
Using Firedoc, you can generate professional reports at the touch of a button. These can be customised to include different sets of information and can be exported to PDF so you can share them quickly with the required stakeholders.
