2024 Summary: New interface, enhanced Drive and communication

The past year was a time of intense work for us to make the Batieu construction app even better at meeting the needs of the industry. Our team focused on improving key features and adding new ones that our users had been eagerly waiting for. Check out the most important changes that debuted in 2024!

Features

Improved usability on mobile devices

Batieu construction app - view on phones

We want our construction app to meet your expectations, no matter what device you use. That’s why we’ve introduced a new, updated version to ensure a smooth and convenient experience on your tablet, phone, and computer.

Batieu Drive

New Batieu drive for construction files

We understand how essential file management is in the construction industry, which is why we made optimizing Batieu Drive a top priority. Our goal was to introduce small improvements that make a big difference in your daily workflow. Here’s what’s new:

Bulk download of files and folders

Working on a large project and need to export multiple files quickly? No problem! Now, you can simply select the necessary documents or folders from the list and choose the Download .zip option. Plans, photos, and other data will be neatly compressed into a single .zip file.

Drag & drop file upload

You already know how to download multiple files quickly, but we’ve also made uploading just as simple. Now, users can easily add documents to Batieu Drive using the drag & drop method. Just drag files from your computer and drop them directly into the drive. It’s fast, intuitive, and saves you time.

Folder and project associations

You have full control over how many folders and projects you create. To help you stay organized and work more efficiently, we’ve introduced folder associations in our construction app. Now, when browsing your folders, you’ll see the names of the projects they are connected to, making file management clearer and more streamlined.

Quick access to file information

Your files hold no secrets from you—key details are now just a click away in the side panel. Simply select a file to view its essential information and effortlessly switch between files for seamless experience.

Grid or list view

We want to give you more flexibility in organizing your panel to fit your workflow. Do you prefer a structured list view or a more visual grid layout? The choice is yours! Now, you can switch between display options and work in the way that suits you best.

What's new in Requests?

New construction requests panel in Batieu

Easier requests editing

Our goal? More intuitive management of construction requests in Batieu. How did we achieve it? We introduced single-window order editing, making it easier to navigate between steps with clear and structured fields. Try it out!

Editing requests with estimates

Need to update the description, deadline, or other details of an order that has already received an estimation? Now it's possible - this update gives you full control over your requests. To ensure that all interested companies stay informed, administrators should notify them of any changes.

Budget visibility

Budget details should always be clear and accessible, with intuitive visibility settings. That’s why we’ve improved how budget options are displayed. WIth these changes, you can now adjust visibility preferences faster.

Enhanced requests view

We're concluding the order updates with a redesigned panel for a better user experience. Here’s what’s new:

  • Quick access to images
  • Streamlined layout
  • Optimized navigation – a fixed side panel with key functions remains visible as you navigate through the page, ensuring you can take action at any time without losing access to essential tools.

Introducing a dedicated discussion module

New in the construction app: Discussions

This is one of the biggest updates in Batieu! The addition of discussion rooms fills a crucial gap in our construction app, making collaboration easier than ever. Now, you can seamlessly share information across projects, reports, measurements, and other key elements. Plus, with notifications, you’ll never miss an important message from your partners or team members. Here’s what’s new:

Engage in conversations and reply in threads

When a new message appears, you can respond instantly. We've carefully designed the thread layout to keep discussions clear and help you resolve issues more efficiently.

Mention team members in comments

Need to direct a message to a specific person? Simply type their username preceded by “@” in a comment. We’ll send them a notification so they can respond as quickly as possible.

Edit and manage sent messages

Don't worry if a mistake sneaks into your comment —you can easily edit it. And if you no longer want a message to be visible, you can delete it just as quickly.

Format messages like a pro

The way your messages look can significantly improve communication. That’s why we’ve introduced formatting tools, allowing you to create clear and structured messages. Use headings, bold text, and bullet points to make your updates easier to read and more effective.

Thank you for using Batieu!

We carefully listen to you—our users—because your feedback drives the changes and growth of Batieu. Ready for 2025 with Batieu? We promise there’s a lot to look forward to! See you in the app!
