TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte – Most construction delays don’t start on the job site. They start because no one has a clear picture of what’s actually happening there.
That is the problem AIMHI (AI Meets Human Intelligence) was built to solve. Today, the Tagum City-based construction technology startup announces the launch of its Mobile App with Offline Mode — giving contractors, engineers, and project managers a single platform to track project progress, monitor costs, and coordinate teams directly from the field, even without an Internet connection.
The Android version is available beginning June 8, 2026. The iOS version follows within one to two months.
“I have personally seen what happens when construction teams have no single source of clarity — inaccurate estimates, delayed schedules, costs that spiral before anyone notices. We built AIMHI so contractors can see what is happening on their projects while they can still do something about it,” Cherryanne Lee Angoy, AIMHI founder & CEO, said.
The problem behind the product
Philippine construction teams have long worked across disconnected systems — spreadsheets, paper logs, manual reports, and group chats. When project data lives in silos, monitoring becomes reactive. Cost overruns, material leakage, and schedule slippages are discovered late, when margins are already gone.
The challenge is not a lack of data. It is a lack of clarity — and it gets worse on job sites where Internet connectivity is unreliable or unavailable. Standard construction software stops working the moment the signal drops. Work does not.
AIMHI’s mobile app with offline mode is built specifically around this reality. All updates made without connection are saved locally and sync the moment connectivity returns automatically — so no data is lost and no reporting is delayed.
What the app delivers
AIMHI is built around three simple principles — and the mobile app with offline mode brings all three directly to the job site:
See it — Real-time cost vs. estimate tracking across all active projects. Know it — AI flags risks, profit leaks, and delays before they escalate into losses. Act on it — Next-best action guidance — not just dashboards, but decisions.
Construction in the palm of your hand
For contractors and construction teams, the mobile app with offline mode delivers six practical capabilities — each one built around a real pain point:
- Submit progress reports on-site. Field teams submit reports the moment work is done. Office teams see updates in real time — not tomorrow, not after a phone call.
- Real-time attendance — no logbook, no biometrics. Attendance is submitted directly from the phone on-site. No logbooks to fill, no biometric devices to sync at day’s end.
- Request materials on-site — no office visit needed. Workers request materials from their phones. No group chat, no office trip. Every request is on record inside the platform.
- Material inventory updated in the field, in real time. Warehouse and material stock are updated directly from the site. Managers see live inventory levels across every active project.
- Proactive AI alerts — AIMHI flags issues before you forget. Low cement? Progress stalled? AIMHI surfaces the alert before your manager has to ask. It tracks what teams are too busy to monitor.
- Built-in team chat — all communication in one platform. No more Viber threads. No switching apps. Every project conversation stays inside AIMHI — where it belongs.
Broader industry impact
Beyond day-to-day operations, the platform contributes to larger outcomes for the Philippine construction sector:
● Continuity in low-connectivity and remote sites. Offline functionality removes connectivity as a barrier for geographically dispersed projects — from Mindanao infrastructure to provincial builds with weak signal.
● Lower barriers to going digital. Hands-on onboarding and user education help construction teams transition from manual processes without disruption. ● Support for national infrastructure goals. Earlier issue detection and reduced project delays improve delivery across both private and public projects.
● Advancing locally built construction technology. AIMHI is proudly Philippine-built — AI-enabled tools designed for local construction realities.
“Construction operations become chaotic when there is no single source of clarity for teams, data, and decisions. This app puts that clarity in the palm of your hand — kahit mahina ang signal,” said Angoy.
Growing demand, proven momentum
AIMHI enters this launch with strong commercial traction. In 2025, the company grew its customer base 2.5 times year-over-year, cut its sales cycle from six months to two weeks, and recorded a 600 percent increase in qualified pipeline.
The platform serves contractors across Visayas, Mindanao, and the National Capital Region, with a focus on mid-size regional contractors managing PHP 500,000 to PHP 100 million contracts across vertical construction, horizontal infrastructure, residential, and government projects.
