Builders & Developers
Eliminate risk. Protect your reputation. Deliver better outcomes.
DLP Manager enables developers and builders to streamline post-construction workflows, improve subcontractor performance, reduce warranty risk, and manage retentions and bonds with complete visibility across every project, while handing over the right digital tools and records to support long-term building management and asset longevity.
The Challenge
The Developer & Builder challenge
Post-construction should be straightforward – but it rarely is.
Challenge #1
No clear pathway to closeout
Defects stall with no defined workflow, ownership or end point – delaying closeout, final certification and handover.
Challenge #2
Fragmented systems & poor visibility
Defects and handover information are spread across spreadsheets, emails and site diaries, making it impossible to see what's open, overdue or at risk in real time.
Challenge #3
Poor asset handover & asset management
Incomplete handover of asset data, warranties and maintenance requirements leads to poorly managed buildings, recurring defects and long-term building performance issues.
Challenge #4
Slow & unaccountable subcontractor response
Trades are difficult to coordinate, access is hard to manage, and completion evidence is often missing – driving delays and disputes.
Challenge #5
Warranty risk & missed obligations
Missed deadlines, missing documentation and unclear responsibility expose builders and developers to avoidable warranty claims.
Challenge #6
Escalating disputes, costs & reputational damage
Poor communication and lack of transparency turn minor issues into disputes, damaging relationships, increasing costs and impacting brand reputation.
The Solution
Complete solutions for Builders & Developers
DLP Manager delivers end-to-end tools for every stage of post-construction.
Complete & Structured Defect Closeout
A successful handover starts with defects properly resolved – not just listed.
Clear workflow from defect log to verified closeout
Defined ownership across builder and subcontractors
Photo evidence and timestamps for every rectified item
Real-time visibility of outstanding and at-risk defects
Centralised Asset & Warranty Documentation
Handover fails when critical information is missing or scattered.
All warranties, manuals and certificates stored in one place
Clear linkage between assets, defects and warranty conditions
Accessible records for strata and owners post-handover
