How to Build a Construction Project Management Portal with TanStack Start and Strapi 5

The tutorial outlines the creation of a construction project management portal using Strapi 5 for backend functionality and TanStack Start for the frontend. Strapi manages content models, role-based access control (RBAC), and document workflows, enabling four distinct roles—Project Manager, Site Supervisor, Contractor, and Client—with tailored permissions. TanStack Start integrates via Strapi's REST API for building an authenticated frontend that supports type-safe routing and data fetching. The architecture emphasizes relational content modeling, where projects, tasks, and documents maintain explicit connections, allowing for precise permission checks and data governance. The portal also employs middleware for task status transitions and handles large document uploads using Strapi's Media Library, ensuring data integrity and adherence to workflow rules without custom server code.
