TL;DR:
there.do is an AI-powered editor for construction site reports, simplifying creation, collaboration, and distribution for architects and project managers.

Overview
there.do is a specialized software solution designed for construction professionals, including architects, project managers, and engineering firms, to streamline the creation, editing, and distribution of site reports (comptes rendus or CRs). Launched in 2025 by the founders of Finalcad, a team with expertise in construction software since 2007, there.do addresses the common frustrations with traditional tools like Word and Excel, which offer flexibility but demand excessive time on formatting—often up to 4 hours per report. It also surpasses rigid industry-specific software such as Finalcad, ArchiPad, BIM Office, and Batiscript, which lack intuitive interfaces, aesthetic appeal, and full control over document structure. With a small team of 5 collaborators, there.do has already powered over 2,000 reports, empowering users to focus on content over form.
Key Features
At its core, there.do functions as an intuitive editor that's as simple as Word but embedded with powerful construction-focused features. Users can drag-and-drop photos directly into reports, making it up to 10 times faster than conventional methods. Dedicated "blocks" optimize common report sections, such as meetings, galleries, attendance lists, progress tracking, and tasks, while allowing full customization to match your branding or style. The attendance management is modern and interactive, with automatic totals, cumulative absences, email/phone verification, bulk handling, and historical tracking per report. Task management is advanced, supporting rich statuses, multiple date fields (e.g., noted, due, start/end actual vs. planned), up to five sub-task levels, custom labels for follow-ups, archiving, and grouping by category, location, or stakeholder, complete with action histories.
Progress and workforce tracking features enable flexible labeling, percentage or unit-based metrics, historical reviews (e.g., spotting delays like a lot stuck at 80% for weeks), and automatic delay calculations. Reports are optimized for all screens, including mobile viewing with dark mode support, enhancing accessibility.
AI Integration
AI integration sets there.do apart by working directly within the document—not as a side tool. It suggests corrections, updates reports from voice notes or photos, and queries attached files, allowing users to accept changes individually for full control. Additional AI agents assist with audio note-taking and photo capture on-site.
Comprehensive Workflow
As a comprehensive all-in-one platform, there.do covers the entire workflow: collaborative editing with industry-specific content, file attachments without size limits, email distribution with AI-assisted drafting, CC/BCC management, branded signatures, scheduled sends, reminders, and locking. Crucially, it provides detailed read tracking—confirming receipt, opens, and views—to ensure reports are actually consumed, unlike traditional PDFs that are often illegible on mobile.
Comparison: Before and After
Compared to legacy approaches, there.do slashes formatting time to about 1 hour, handles photos seamlessly, reduces sending to 2 minutes, and offers mobile readability. The "Create a Suite" feature saves 10-30 minutes per follow-up report by duplicating and updating previous ones.
Services and Trust
Trusted by firms like Valode & Pistre, Chabanne, Cicad, Acorus, and others, there.do offers complementary services: training (€499 for up to 10 people, on-site or virtual), report transformation from PDF/Word/Excel (€99), and personalized accompaniment (€999 for model creation and support). Ultimately, there.do boosts efficiency and collaboration in construction projects, turning tedious reporting into a seamless process.
