Build Connect: A Mobile Application for Vendor and Construction Material Supply Management

The construction industry often faces challenges related to communication between buyers and vendors, material supply delays, and inefficient logistics management. To address these problems, a mobile application named Build Connect is proposed and developed. The application provides a digital platform where buyers and vendors can interact directly for construction-related services such as material supply and vehicle booking. The system allows users to register, log in securely, browse vendor services, place orders, and track deliveries in real time. The application is developed using Java and XML for the front-end interface, while Firebase services are used for database management, authentication, and storage. By integrating real-time communication, order tracking, and role-based access, the system improves transparency and reduces manual work involved in traditional construction management. The application also provides vendors with opportunities to reach more customers and manage their services efficiently. The proposed system aims to simplify construction logistics and provide a reliable and organized digital solution for both buyers and vendors.
