Getting Started
Platform Overview
Pasco Cloud is a construction management platform designed for AU/NZ building and construction teams. It replaces paper-based inspections, fragmented communication tools, and disconnected spreadsheets with a single platform that your whole team can use — from the office to the job site.

Who Is Pasco Cloud For?
Pasco Cloud is built for anyone involved in delivering construction projects:
- Builders and contractors managing multiple jobs and subcontractors
- Project managers overseeing timelines, budgets, and compliance
- Site supervisors conducting inspections and raising issues on-site
- Subcontractors completing reports and responding to defect notices
- Council inspectors reviewing submissions and signing off on work
- Office administrators organising documents, teams, and project data
Whether you are running a two-person outfit or coordinating across multiple organisations, Pasco Cloud scales to fit your workflow.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Construction teams deal with unique challenges that generic project management tools do not address well:
- Paper inspections are slow and error-prone. Forms get lost, handwriting is illegible, and there is no audit trail. Pasco Cloud replaces paper with digital templates that produce professional PDF reports.
- Communication is fragmented. Issues get raised in text messages, emails, phone calls, and sticky notes. Pasco Cloud gives every issue a single source of truth with comments, photos, and status tracking.
- Tools don't talk to each other. Inspections live in one app, tasks in another, contracts in a spreadsheet. Pasco Cloud brings these together so data flows between features.
- Mobile is an afterthought. Most of the real work happens on-site, but many platforms are designed for desktop first. Pasco Cloud has a purpose-built mobile app for Android and iOS.
Key Features
Templates and Reports
Design custom inspection forms using the template builder — add text fields, checkboxes, photo captures, GPS locations, signatures, and more. When your team completes a report, it follows your approval workflow and generates a professional PDF document with automatic document numbering.
Issues
Track defects, safety concerns, and non-conformances with the issue tracker. Every issue has a status workflow, comment thread, file attachments, and full audit trail. Assign issues to team members and track them through to resolution.
Tasks
Manage day-to-day work with tasks. Create tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates and priorities, and track progress on a visual Kanban board. Tasks keep your team accountable and your projects moving.
Contracts
Track contracts and link them to projects. Record contract details, values, dates, and status — giving you a complete picture of the commercial side of each project.
Organisations and Projects
Structure your work with organisations (your company and your partners) and projects (individual jobs or sites). Link organisations to projects, manage team memberships, and control who sees what.
Users and Groups
Manage your team members, build your professional network with connections, and use groups to control sharing and visibility across the platform.
Tools
Pasco Cloud includes built-in utilities designed for construction professionals:
- Construction Calculator — concrete volumes, material quantities, area calculations
- Unit Converter — metric and imperial conversions
- Image Studio — annotate, crop, and mark up photos
- PDF Tools — merge, split, compare, and overlay PDF documents
Platform Components
Pasco Cloud is made up of three main components:
Web App — app.pasco.cloud
The full-featured web application for desktop and laptop use. Manage your organisation, build templates, review reports, and administer your projects. Best for office-based work, template design, and detailed report review.
Mobile App — Android and iOS
A purpose-built mobile app for on-site use. Complete inspections, raise issues, manage tasks, and capture site photos — all from your phone. Designed for speed and ease of use in the field.
Admin Dashboard
An internal administration panel for platform management, verification workflows, and system monitoring. This is used by the Pasco Cloud team and is not accessible to regular users.

💡 Tip
Start with the web app to set up your organisation and build your first templates. Then download the mobile app for on-site inspections and issue tracking. The two work together seamlessly — data syncs in real time.
Built for Construction
Pasco Cloud is not a generic project management tool adapted for construction. It is purpose-built with features that construction teams actually need:
- Document numbering — automatic sequential numbering for reports across projects
- Approval workflows — multi-step review and sign-off processes for inspections
- GPS capture — record exact locations for site inspections and issues
- Photo annotation — mark up site photos with arrows, text, and highlights
- Signature capture — collect digital signatures directly in reports
- Offline capability — the mobile app works in areas with limited connectivity
- PDF generation — produce professional inspection reports with your branding
