Project Background

The construction industry accounts for nearly 1 in 5 workplace deaths more than almost any other field. The biggest killers? “Fatal Four”—falls, strikes, electrocutions, and caught-in-between accidents. These are the most common reasons workers don’t make it home from construction sites, making safety a life-or-death challenge every single day.

Our client, Navatech, a UAE-based tech company, found this out and was firm to build a solution to save the lives of those who build. Also, upon their research, they found that one site alone lost $1.2M from accidents, fines, and delays.

They started their mission to prevent accidents, save precious human lives and save companies from unwanted compliance issues and financial losses. They wanted to build a fix that could stop the chaos, guide the construction workers, and prevent accidents and turned to us with a challenge: make it smart, make it simple, and make it work for everyone.

Problems To Address

Construction sites are ticking time bombs—and the cracks in safety are letting them explode. Here’s what’s going wrong:

1

Safety Gaps

Every day, thousands of workers get injured because safety rules are weak or stuck in the past. Companies lose billions fixing what could’ve been stopped—money down the drain, lives on the line.

2

Real-Time Monitoring

Old-school safety can’t keep up. It doesn’t spot trouble brewing in fast-moving sites, leaving workers blind to risks until it’s too late.

3

Response Delays

When disaster hits, messy communication slows everything down. Workers wait longer, risks grow bigger, and recovery drags on—seconds turn into scars.

4

Data Flood

Sensors and systems spit out tons of safety info, but it’s a mess to sift through. Companies drown in numbers and miss the red flags.

5

Safety Compliance

Accidents pile up when workers skip rules, miss training, or fumble checks. Human slip-ups turn small oversights into big tragedies—over and over again.

Challenges

Navatech faced a huge hurdle in making construction sites safer. Their goal was to build a clever system that could sift through tons of data from sensors—think cameras, motion detectors, and more—and spot risks like falling beams or shaky scaffolds right as they happened.

This wasn’t just about speed; the system had to fit into the tools companies already used, like old software or safety checklists, without causing a mess. Plus, construction sites are wild—weather changes, machines move, and workers shuffle around daily—so it needed to keep up with that chaos. One slip, and people could get hurt or worse, so Navatech had to get it right, fast.

Collaboration with MindInventory

MindInventory teamed up with Navatech to make their Construction Safety Copilot a reality. They had a big idea—safer construction sites—and we jumped in to help.

Our ideas and tweaks made it click, turning their vision into something real. The proof? NEOM loved it and partnered up, and Navatech scored $3M to go global. We didn’t just help—we built a safety winner together.

  • 1

    We built a super admin and client dashboard that’s totally flexible, fitting any team’s needs, from tiny crews to huge sites.

  • 2

    For the front end, we used ReactJS to keep it fast and simple—workers and managers can use it easily, no headaches.

  • 3

    On the back end, we picked Python and FastAPI to process everything quick and smooth, no stumbles.

  • 4

    We also set up a strong database with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and AWS, keeping data safe and ready to grow with Navatech.

  • 5

    We worked side by side with them, testing language alerts, hazard scans, and more, until it was perfect—even for folks new to tech.
