Phase 4: Tracking – Receive updates, approve deliveries and stay in control

"Did they come today? What did they do?"

Your contractor uploads the progress into ReConto so you get photo updates, approve deliveries or request changes without chasing them.

❌ The Problem

  • Lost messages, no idea if the crew showed up and photos scattered across chats make it impossible to know the truth.
  • The contractor says “going well,” but you can’t verify and the stress keeps building.

Without organized tracking, you just trust what they say.

✅ The Solution

  • ReConto centralizes messages, photos, decisions and progress so you can open the project and see what really happened.
  • No more searching ten different chats—now you have visual evidence and clear dates.

One place to see everything happening in your home.

📊 The Result

  • Fewer “what’s the status?” calls and more peace knowing exactly what happened.
  • Better communication, clear evidence if something goes wrong and real control of your investment.

Stop guessing and start knowing.

No more "trust me, everything is fine"

ReConto gives you real visibility. Photos per phase, completed tasks, documented decisions and organized communication. All in one place, without depending on good memory or good will.

Real follow-up use cases

How homeowners use follow-up in real life

  • Kitchen remodel: catch cabinet installation error early thanks to daily photos.

  • Landscaping during vacation: review progress and send questions from another city.

  • HVAC change: organized photos serve for warranty claims later.

  • Owner with multiple houses: see progress per property without mixing messages.

Why organized tracking reduces stress in any project

One of the most stressful moments for a homeowner is not knowing what's really happening in their home. Contractors say "going well" but you have no way to verify. Photos arrive via WhatsApp mixed with personal conversations. Decisions are made verbally and later nobody remembers exactly what was agreed.

The 3 most common mistakes when tracking projects informally

  1. Depending only on WhatsApp: Chats are useful day-to-day but terrible for long-term tracking. Finding a photo from two weeks ago among 500 messages is nearly impossible.
  2. Not documenting small decisions: "Should we change this color?" gets resolved verbally, but three weeks later nobody remembers who decided what.
  3. Not requesting photo evidence: Without organized photos, it's hard to prove how it was before, what was done wrong or what needs correction.

How tracking protects you when something goes wrong

Having clear project history doesn't just reduce daily stress. It also protects you if problems appear:

  • Bad work: Photos show exactly how it was before and what was done. You can prove the problem didn't exist before.
  • Unjustified delays: History shows when they actually came to work and when they didn't.
  • Unauthorized changes: If contractor does something you didn't approve, history proves there was never written authorization.
