Congratulations to Report Hawk’s client, Soojian Strausser Construction, for the completion of their Coldwell Banker New Brunswick, NJ office. They are featuring the project on their website, click here to view.
Report Hawk was proud to be a part of this project. We have found that Steve Soojian and his team of Superintendents are very proactive and detailed when working with our application. We asked Steve to provide us a testimonial for our new website and here is what he had to say about us….
“Our Clients are very impressed with the weekly reports, which provide them the ability to check on the progress of a job without having to physically go to the site. This also holds true for me; with multiple projects running, I am able to keep close track of all of them. ”

We began working with Soojian Strausser Construction on a Starbucks’ project in 2007. After the project was completed Soojian began to use us on their other projects. They have provided us with some great feedback which has been incorporated into our version 2.0 release. This type of feedback makes us a better company and really improves the functionality and performance of our application. The key to providing good applications is to listen and trust your end users. If you make them happy, you are doing it right!

One of the items that I often see our customers fighting is the management of photographs taken from their digital cameras. The camera default settings are typically the problem. Unless you edit the settings, you may find yourself taking very large pictures. Taking the pictures at the largest setting makes it a bear to email or upload.
There are plenty of photo or Jpeg resizing software applications online to download. We have found one by Microsoft that is free and very simple to use; however, it only works on Windows XP. Below is the link to download the Image Resizer.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
Once the Image Re-sizer is downloaded and installed just select the pictures you wish to resize, right click your mouse and select “Resize Picture” pick the new size (usually 640 x480) and a new copy is made of the image. Fast and Simple. Below is more information regarding Microsoft Power Toys.

PowerToys add fun and functionality to the Windows experience. What are they? PowerToys are additional programs that developers work on after a product has been released.
Note:We take great care to ensure that PowerToys work as they should, but they are not part of Windows and are not supported by Microsoft. For this reason, Microsoft Technical Support is unable to answer questions about PowerToys. PowerToys are for Windows XP only and will not work with Windows Vista.

Our Version 2.0 release is completed! 131 days from start to finish, which included 30 plus days of testing prior to release. We released the new version over the 4th of July weekend to take advantage of the three day holiday. It has been a great experience to see this version come to life. We would like to thank all of our general contractors, architects, construction managers, developers and owners for whom we have had the pleasure to work. Many of the new features you will see are from your requests and feedback over the past year.
Overall, our team is very happy with the performance of the 2.0 version. We will continue to modify and update the version over the next month to enhance speed and performance. Contact us today at support@reporthawk.com to take a tour of the new version.
