SME Consulting  /  Conquer

The software behind the inspection record.

SME uses Conquer, a construction inspection-management platform, to track projects from the inspection request onward. This page is a placeholder until Conquer's own description of the product is confirmed.

01 — The problem it solves

The status call nobody enjoys.

On a regulated build, the most repeated question is the least interesting one: where are we? Which inspections were requested, which passed, which failed, what is outstanding, and what is blocking the next phase.

Traditionally that answer lives in an inspector's head, an email chain, and a binder. Getting it out costs a phone call, and the answer is as current as the last time someone wrote something down.

Shane tracks projects in Conquer from the inspection request onward, including how many came back good and how many came back bad.

A possible owner view

One idea raised on the kickoff call: a place for project managers to see where projects stand. Nothing here is committed until Conquer confirms what the platform actually offers to owners.

Waiting on you, Shane: the elevator pitch from Matt Huddleston in San Diego — how Conquer is actually sold, in his language. Everything above is drafted from how you described it on our call so the page exists now. The moment his blurb lands, this page is rewritten around it.
