Elecosoft<\/a> explains why better collaboration will be crucial to the ongoing recovery of the construction sector<\/h2>\n

2021 has been a year of recovery for the construction industry<\/a>, but while demand for properties is rising, market challenges make it harder than ever to run an efficient, profitable construction project.<\/p>\n

With materials in short supply and prices at a premium, property development still faces severe disruption. Only companies that work closely and collaborate effectively – both internally and with contractors and vendors – will be able to keep delivering projects on-time and on-budget.<\/p>\n

Demand is rising \u2013 but so is the cost of materials<\/h3>\n

The good news for the construction industry is that demand for property has remained buoyant during the pandemic, even with a lack of job security impacting mortgage lending terms.<\/p>\n

Commercial property development is also showing signs of pandemic recovery, as sectors reopen and virtual workforces return to reality. The hospitality and leisure industry is now trading at full capacity following several periods of restriction, while the remote working movement is coming to an end.<\/p>\n

But while consumers and employers are embracing a sense of normality, construction companies can\u2019t afford to relax just yet. The impact of the pandemic and other political and legislative events \u2013 such as Brexit \u2013 are still affecting the price and availability of building supplies, which is impacting the progress of construction projects.<\/p>\n

Supply chain challenges, commercial driver shortages<\/a> and unprecedented demand mean that many materials \u2013 from timber and steel to cement and paint \u2013 are subject to long lead times or completely unavailable.<\/p>\n

Control project costs instead of passing on price increases<\/h3>\n

With demand for housing high, one way to offset the increasing cost of construction is to raise property prices. But there is a limit to how much people are willing to pay.<\/p>\n

Considering the risk of raising prices, construction companies have one other option: to keep the cost of production as low as possible. And this is best achieved through strong teamwork.<\/p>\n

Contractors and developers may be at the mercy of the market when it comes to the price and availability of materials, but there\u2019s still an opportunity to save money on project management costs by helping stakeholders to collaborate more effectively.<\/p>\n

At the moment, many construction projects are run inefficiently. Project managers don\u2019t have full visibility over what is happening at any point in time or the communication systems in place to issue quick updates on how things are progressing and receive on-site feedback. As a result, delays can go unnoticed for days (even weeks) and their impact isn\u2019t fully realised until projected costs start to rise. One small setback can easily snowball into an expensive delay, which can\u2019t always be passed on to the customer.<\/p>\n

So, how can construction companies collaborate more closely with everyone involved in their projects to track progress in real-time and solve problems quicker? The answer lies in integrating planning, communications and operations using construction project management software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting project teams on the same, real-time page<\/h3>\n

Currently, one of the critical issues with running construction projects is getting (and keeping) everyone on the same page. It\u2019s very easy for messages to get misinterpreted or forgotten, or for on-site feedback to be delayed until there\u2019s a catch-up meeting \u2013 by which point the problem has impacted progress.<\/p>\n

Equally, without clear communications, contractors and labourers end up basing their plans of out-of-date information. For example, scheduling the next phase of a build around a delivery of materials that has been delayed by availability issues.<\/p>\n

Many construction companies will have already taken steps to solve these challenges, such as investing in digital scheduling technology, but it may take several pieces of software to manage a project and information can easily fall through the gaps. Especially if their chosen software isn\u2019t mobile-friendly, as it\u2019s difficult for on-site teams to make real-time updates.<\/p>\n

Additionally, some project management solutions don\u2019t track and analyse the impact of changes on overall timeline and budget. If something changes \u2013 such as a shipment of materials being delayed \u2013 it\u2019s up to the project manager to spot the problem and replan the schedule to limit its impact on final delivery. And even then, their software may not calculate the cost of those changes and how they affect the project\u2019s overall profitability.<\/p>\n

Enabling collaboration through one piece of construction software<\/h3>\n

In the ever-moving world of construction, the most effective way to keep projects moving forward without eroding bottom line is to manage every aspect \u2013 including people, materials and profit margin \u2013 in one place.<\/p>\n

Elecosoft has recognised this need for integration, which is why we\u2019ve launched Powerproject Collaboration Cloud<\/a>: a collection of our market-leading project management software in one monthly subscription which combines three of our most popular solutions in our portfolio: Powerproject, Site Progress Mobile and Powerproject Vision. Allowing construction companies to plan, track, manage and report on projects in one place, in real-time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cloud-based, meaning every stakeholder can access information anywhere, anytime \u2013 including on-site \u2013 to keep developments progressing efficiently. And by combining all three solutions into a single package, it\u2019s more cost-effective than buying everything separately.<\/p>\n

But while there are clear financial benefits to subscribing to a software bundle, Powerproject Collaboration Cloud has been primarily developed to help construction companies run projects more efficiently<\/a> and profitably. Because Elecosoft understands that in an unpredictable, tight-margin market, collaboration is critical to the construction industry\u2019s economic success.<\/p>\n
