All VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s building programmes are run through Powerproject, along with any infrastructure programme with a free choice of project management software.<\/p>\n<p>Even within relationships where clients dictate a different solution, VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s planning team uses Powerproject for short-term programmes, as they find it engages site teams quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<h3>Engineers can learn Powerproject in just half a day<\/h3>\n<p>One reason Powerproject effectively engages project stakeholders is the software\u2019s intuitive setup. For example, VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s planning team can code activities in minutes. They then use this coding to extract and share relevant information with engineers and subcontractors, ensuring everyone follows the same programme.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the full scope of work can be shared with planners, project managers and clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowerproject gives us a bird\u2019s eye view for clients, a detailed view for planners and focused information for subcontractors. Everyone involved can see the information they need without us having to walk them through the entire plan,\u201d says Mark Williamson.<\/p>\n<p>Mark estimates that it takes just half a day to train project teams to use Powerproject to a sufficient standard, which means engineers and subcontractors can be up and running on the software very quickly. This is much quicker and less demanding than the previous solution, which took 6-8 weeks of half-day training sessions to get newcomers up to full speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven with complex jobs, engineers have used Powerproject successfully after half a day\u2019s training. So we can get people up and running with the software very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Mark says he can \u201csee a weight lifted from people\u2019s shoulders\u201d when they discover they can learn to use Powerproject in a matter of hours \u2013 and that it will deliver all the information they need.<\/p>\n<h3>BIM and BI software extract greater value<\/h3>\n<p>VolkerFitzpatrick has expanded its use of Powerproject over time to drive further value from its investment. In 2020, the company deployed <a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/products\/powerproject\/powerproject-bim\/?utm_product=powerproject&amp;utm_type=product-home-page&amp;utm_source=bim-today&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=general&amp;utm_term=01.12.22&amp;utm_content=volkerfitzpatrick-improves-productivity-powerproject\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Powerproject BIM<\/a> to enhance its digital offering to clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowerproject BIM is a very practical tool that expands our communication abilities and gives clients confidence in what we\u2019re trying to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BIM software brings project timelines and information flows to life for everyone involved in VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s most complex projects. It also enables project managers to isolate complicated or atypical processes that require further planning.<\/p>\n<p>VolkerFitzpatrick has also introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/products\/powerproject\/powerproject-vision\/?utm_product=powerproject&amp;utm_type=product-home-page&amp;utm_source=bim-today&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=general&amp;utm_term=01.12.22&amp;utm_content=volkerfitzpatrick-improves-productivity-powerproject\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Powerproject Vision<\/a> to give senior management a real-time view of live projects.<\/p>\n<p>Up-to-date analytics and reporting had previously been a challenge for the company, as it was using excel spreadsheets to provide feedback to senior management. As a result, key personnel like Mark could spend up to one day per month cutting and pasting information from multiple sources and creating a consistent format.<\/p>\n<p>Powerproject Vision centralises VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s live project data and lets planners consolidate the latest information into easily digestible business intelligence (BI) reports in a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Mark still spends around one day per month on reporting, but now he uses this time more valuably. For example, he monitors completion date movements to challenge timelines or seek an extension. By keeping a close eye on contractual elements, his site teams can focus on the work in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of spending one day a month copying and pasting information to an Excel sheet, I spent that time interrogating programmes and solving problems,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Powerproject to drive strategic planning<\/h3>\n<p>With strong analytical foundations in place, VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s next major objective is to use Powerproject Vision to understand resourcing holistically across the group. Currently, sites work independently to resolve their resourcing issues, so there isn\u2019t a comprehensive understanding of which subcontractors are used, how often and on which jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The company may also use material tracking capabilities to support clients developing sustainable construction programmes. For example, Powerproject can collect and utilise data such as how many projects are using recycled aggregate of GPS-integrated concrete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever we have the ability to choose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/an-introduction-to-construction-management-with-elecosoft\/116118\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project management software<\/a>, we choose Powerproject,\u201d says Mark.<\/p>\n<p>With clear plans for progression, VolkerFitzpatrick is firmly embedding its future in Powerproject. As Mark concludes: \u201cThere are plenty of options out there. But whenever we have the ability to choose project management software, we choose Powerproject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The power behind successful projects: <a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/products\/powerproject\/?utm_product=powerproject&amp;utm_type=product-home-page&amp;utm_source=bim-today&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=general&amp;utm_term=01.12.22&amp;utm_content=volkerfitzpatrick-improves-productivity-powerproject\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book a free demo<\/a> \u202fto experience Powerproject, Powerproject BIM and Powerproject Vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note: This is a commercial profile.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elecosoft UK LTD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0) 345 646 1735<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@elecosoft.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@elecosoft.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elecosoft.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.elecosoft.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/elecosoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s planning team finds Powerproject significantly easier to operate than other planning and project management software, centralising data for complex building and civil engineering programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[428,157244,856,464,172727,389],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172433],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-118966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-bim-news","7":"tag-bim","8":"tag-bim-today-december-2022","9":"tag-construction-technology","10":"tag-contributor-profile","11":"tag-featured","12":"tag-sh-elecosoft","13":"stakeholder_rel_tag-eleco"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>VolkerFitzpatrick improves productivity and adds value by planning programmes with Powerproject<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s planning team finds Powerproject significantly easier to operate than other planning and project management software\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/volkerfitzpatrick-improves-productivity-adds-value-planning-programmes-powerproject\/118966\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"VolkerFitzpatrick improves productivity and adds value by planning programmes with Powerproject\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"VolkerFitzpatrick\u2019s planning team finds Powerproject significantly easier to operate than other planning and project management software, centralising data for complex building and civil engineering programmes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/volkerfitzpatrick-improves-productivity-adds-value-planning-programmes-powerproject\/118966\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
