Kólé

Overview

Kólé is a construction management application (web and mobile) built to fix the industry’s biggest operational problems; fragmented workflows, outdated tools, poor visibility, unsustainable resource usage, and inefficient coordination. It brings resource tracking, contractor and staff coordination, predictive budgeting, reporting, and digital workflows into one unified, modern system.

Goal

To design and establish Kólé’s visual and functional ecosystem from scratch; creating a clear, scalable, and intuitive web + mobile experience that reflects its mission of sustainable, transparent, and effective construction management.

Challenges

Construction workflows vary widely, making it difficult to design a universal but flexible system.
Outdated processes meant users were accustomed to manual tools and spreadsheets.
Cross-platform consistency was essential but challenging with complex data and dynamic interactions.
The platform needed to support multiple roles (contractors, managers, staff) without overwhelming anyone.
Rapid design-to-development alignment was needed to keep the build on schedule.

Solutions/Outcome

Designed and delivered a full end-to-end ecosystem of SaaS tools, including Kólé Nerve, Kólé Build, and Kólé Plan, each supporting different stages of the construction workflow.
Completed the mobile app experience, ensuring seamless continuity between field operations and the web platform.
Built scalable design systems, user flows, and UI patterns that function consistently across both platforms.
Used research and iterative testing with industry stakeholders to refine workflows and reduce friction.
Created prototypes and wireframes that guided early sign-ups, onboarding, and feature validation.
Worked closely with developers and stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation and maintain product quality.
Resulted in an intuitive, cohesive product suite that supports complex construction processes with greater clarity, speed, and operational accuracy.
