Contech tool for communication on construction sites – One step closer to improving efficiency
Construction projects entail the exchange of huge amount of data. Great deal of information and documents such as preliminary and main designs, variation orders, safety order and quality reports are exchanged on the daily. As the project grows, the amount of data and the number of project participants increase reducing the efficiency in decision-making by the responsible persons and slowing down and protracting communication. Communication issues on construction sites can manifest in several ways:
– The communication process isn`t standardized – logging errors or deficiencies or leaving comments is done through a variety of communication tools – emails, Excel spreadsheets, texts, Viber and WhatsApp apps, notes on paper designs, post-its and phone calls which is then analyzed and used for making decisions and tracking project realization. All it takes is one forgotten or missed message to instantly lead to chain reaction of mistakes, that get noticed when it`s already too late.
– Unless verbal agreements and work orders are logged correctly it could subsequently lead to conflicting interpretation or setting priorities.
– Long chains of command in the decision-making process delay the operations, especially when project managers are swamped with work or suddenly absent and a crucial decision needs to be made.
Problems listed are a common nuisance for contractors and investors and they often cause multimillion losses compared to the planned investment, either through direct expenses or through postponing the construction deadlines.
The modern construction sector has been turning to Contech technologies for solutions to these and similar problems, making operations easier. One of the fresh products on the market has recently come from the region, from the renowned company PlanRadar based in Austria. Its eponymous application for communication, monitoring of flaws on construction sites and project management improves cooperation and transparency in all project phases, managing users` needs, use of resources and the documentation itself.
