The construction business is challenging!

The construction industry is complex and chaotic, often involving many stakeholders and diverse operations. Construction sites are fraught with delays, supply chain incidents, skilled labour shortages, difficulty in procuring raw materials, and breakdown of machinery causing a dip in productivity. As a result, construction projects are prone to cost overruns leading to a decrease in profits. Not to mention the risk of enduring court battles due to claims and other legal issues.

So, how can project managers and construction workers execute and deliver their construction projects on time and within budget? Protect against claims? And comply with standards and regulations? The key is to know and understand what is happening on the construction site with precise data and then make the right decision.

A Project Manager should get the whole story from the construction site. A field worker should be able to share accurate data straight from the field. And a construction worker should be able to get the right instruction to execute the right task. And all this in real-time with precise data along with the appropriate context.

Unfortunately, many construction companies don’t have any field monitoring and reporting mechanism. In this case, it is impossible to find out what is happening on the site to make good business decisions. And even if construction sites have a monitoring or reporting mechanism they are paper-based. Filling out paper diaries can be tedious, cumbersome and error-prone. They can lead to multiple reports with conflicting information. Not to mention that they can be lost, damaged or tampered with.

Also, activities on construction sites are fragmented, disparate and distributed amongst small groups of specialised contractors or teams working separately. Often each siloed team develops its own reporting system – some analyse data via excel, some use a visual reporting system (pictures or videos) and others use a paper diary with their own terminology. Thus, creating a lack of insight into the overall organisational structure and workflow of the construction site. Hence the necessity of a digital monitoring and reporting solution that brings accurate data in real-time straight from the field.

In other words, construction businesses need a single source of truth for all activities and projects happening on construction sites.  So that they can get the big picture and the accurate information to make the right decisions, execute the right task and use it as proof against any claims or legal issues.
