The full-featured construction management suite with the TaskMapper platform helps global EPC with accurate project oversight and real-time progress monitoring.
At a Glance
To keep the project on track, a global EPC building a 200+ MWdc solar project wants to streamline multi-stakeholder communication.
SenseHawk uses the map-based construction monitoring and management feature of its TaskMapper platform for solar, which helps connect project management schedules to onsite work. All project data is captured and organized on TaskMapper to facilitate easy retrieval and analysis.
Using TaskMapper to monitor and manage onsite activity through each phase of construction enables the EPC to centralize all data for stakeholders. This allows for tracking deviations between actual and reported milestones and helps the EPC receive on-time payments.
The EPC’s Requirement
A global EPC constructing a 200+ MWdc project on 500 hectares wants to simplify project management. Handling interdependencies between different stakeholders seamlessly is critical to keeping the project on track and ensuring that milestones are met.
On average, large construction projects take 20 percent longer to finish than scheduled, adversely affecting milestone-based payments. Monitoring construction activity accurately and staying on track will ensure timely payments to the EPC for every milestone that is met. With the downward trend in profit margins for solar construction projects, improving efficiency and managing costs and outflows are critical to profitability.

The Solution
SenseHawk proposes using the map-based construction monitoring and management feature of TaskMapper for site data and work management, quality control, and tracking of construction milestones.
With TaskMapper, the EPC connects project management schedules and field work to streamline execution. The project schedule is imported to the platform, and the work breakdown structures (WBS) from the project management systems (PMS) are mapped to the digital site model created on TaskMapper. This allows managers to add tasks, checklists, and punchlists to any digital component and assign them to individuals or teams for action.
Onsite crews can use the fieldworker-friendly mobile app to navigate the site and check-off tasks, add observations, and create status reports. At the end of each workday, the progress recorded on the field automatically rolls up into daily reports for project supervisors and controllers and gets updated on the PMS.
Import project schedules to centralize management and share with teams to enhance coordination; connect the office and site with the fieldworker app
The Result
With TaskMapper, the EPC is able to automate work site data capture. This helps improve the accuracy and granularity of progress tracking and simplifies reporting.
Accurate tracking of onsite activity and progress helps the EPC eliminate deviations between actual and reported milestones and enables it to receive on-time payments through each stage of project construction.
Color-coded work items on construction monitoring maps help visualize the completion status of various components based on the real-time progress logged. Customizable dashboards ensure easy visibility for work progress and other site activity reports. This helps the EPC monitor work progress and streamline multi-stakeholder communication.

Construction Management with TaskMapper
Managing interdependencies between the multiple teams—from design and engineering to procurement, construction, and commissioning—involved in solar asset construction is imperative to meet milestones and keep delivery on track. The map-based construction monitoring and management feature of TaskMapper helps EPCs with project planning and work management, quality control, and tracking of construction milestones.
With TaskMapper, the EPC can digitally capture, organize, and analyze all the data generated during asset construction and automate reporting to keep all stakeholders in the know. Tracking site progress helps the EPC monitor deviations between actual and reported milestones and receive on-time payments.
TaskMapper integrates project scheduling, job assignment, onsite reporting, workflows, quality control, documentation, and stakeholder reporting. The EPC can track progress against the planned schedule with automated reports from the field. Stakeholders can review at-a-glance daily reports on the customizable dashboard.
TaskMapper helps import and organize site information and create design layouts to support planning. Users can import and organize project plans from existing project management systems. Managers can create punchlists and workflows for inspections and quality control. Material inventory can be effectively managed. Documentation, from design and project files to HOTO and closeouts, can be stored and accessed from a centralized location. All of this can be monitored on a single screen.
Custom dashboards automatically updated from field inputs, reducing time spent on end-of-day reports and updates
