However, collaboration is harder to achieve in industries like retail and construction, where projects are fast-paced and complex. Building and fit out projects have numerous moving parts and require teams to work closely and seamlessly to complete tasks on time and within budget<\/h2>\n<p>To help your company run more efficient projects, let\u2019s delve into why collaboration is key in construction and explore how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/the-top-four-benefits-of-using-iconsystem\/120918\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">smarter information management<\/a> can drive better outcomes<\/p>\n<h3>What are the consequences of poor collaboration?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Before we discuss the benefits of collaborative working, it\u2019s essential to acknowledge the full impact of poor collaboration across building work and fit outs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anixter.com\/content\/dam\/anixter\/resources\/brochures\/anixter-aaap-channel-solutions-project-estimation-insert-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Less than a third<\/a> of construction projects are completed within 10% of their original budget, KPMG research has found, while construction projects in the UK alone are losing up to <a href=\"https:\/\/cinmagazine.co.uk\/uk-construction-industry-estimate-losses-of-up-to-13bn-in-projects-due-to-poor-communication-between-parties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a313 billion<\/a> due to poor communication.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration problems can create several issues that will impact both your reputation and your bottom line, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Delays in project progress<\/strong>: when teams aren\u2019t using the same property data or working to the same standards, it\u2019s easy for mistakes to occur that result in tasks needing to be redone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frustrated staff<\/strong>: sometimes miscommunication and unreliable documentation result in errors or disconnected working processes. This can be very frustrating for project team members, affecting their productivity and morale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased costs<\/strong>: we\u2019ve talked about the time and productivity impact of poor collaboration, but there is a financial impact. Reworks are costly, and major errors can result in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/construction-technology-news\/corrective-maintenence-asset-management-elecosoft\/120678\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extra resources being drafted in to complete the project on time<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality control issues<\/strong>: it is difficult to maintain high standards of workmanship if teams aren\u2019t working closely together. Poor collaboration can even lead to non-compliance issues with construction and retail fit out projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Can greater collaboration drive better project outcomes?<\/h3>\n<p>While the cost of poor collaboration is high, the good news is that the benefits of improving project communications are also significant. Ensuring all stakeholders are using the same property data will allow your company to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Align goals:<\/strong> all team members work towards common objectives, integrating skills and schedules to complete work on time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce errors<\/strong>: there\u2019s no room for misinterpretation if teams work together from the same documentation to manage build and fit out projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhance productivity<\/strong>: work is more enjoyable and productive when everyone has visibility over essential information and can work collaboratively to progress most efficiently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase profit<\/strong>: streamlined documentation and communications are essential to driving project profitability. Better information management has been shown to drive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdbb.cam.ac.uk\/files\/cdbb_econ_value_of_im_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a35.10-\u00a36<\/a> of direct labour productivity gains for every \u00a31 invested, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdbb.cam.ac.uk\/files\/cdbb_econ_value_of_im_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a36.90-\u00a37.40<\/a> in direct time, labour and material cost savings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it\u2019s hard to achieve these benefits without centralising essential project information such as asset data, layouts, standards and specifications. That\u2019s why many companies use BIM software or similar information management solutions to drive collaborative working processes.<\/p>\n<h3>How can collaborative software support successful projects?<\/h3>\n<p>Digitising collaboration through an information management platform can make it easier for teams to work together on construction or retail fit out projects. This is because data is formalised and centralised, providing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A single source of truth<\/strong>: with accurate digital project information, every team member starts and stays on the same page. Document management software gives each stakeholder access to a central database for referencing standards and specifications.Prosper has already used information management software to combine multiple sources of data into one single system for its fast-growing retail client, which can be easily accessed by any relevant person in their business.<a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/stories\/digital-collaboration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more on how Prosper is achieving digital collaboration for its retail clients.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Agile information sharing<\/strong>: choosing a cloud-based information management solution is ideal, as it enables project teams to access information wherever they\u2019re located. For example, site-based teams can review layouts and components as they work, rather than relying on printouts or memory recall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integration with other project management software<\/strong>: information management technology can integrate with other project management software such as procurement systems, analytics\/reporting and cost management to enhance collaborative working processes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accurate templates for future work<\/strong>: by creating a central data repository, it\u2019s much simpler to replicate collaborative construction or fit out projects in other locations, with other teams \u2013 for example, across multiple retail stores.Sainsbury\u2019s has been using IconSystem to manage new store specifications since 2005, storing data for more than 4,200 individual specifications. These specifications and standards are updated daily so accurate information is shared internally and with their contractor base.<a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/stories\/sainsburys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about how Sainsbury\u2019s is managing store specifications using IconSystem.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Improve project collaboration with IconSystem<\/h3>\n<p>Collaborative working is key to ensuring retail and construction projects run efficiently, profitably and productively \u2013 but very few companies can deliver these benefits through manual processes.<\/p>\n<p>Digitising asset and project data through an information management solution like <a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/products\/iconsystem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IconSystem<\/a> provides a single source of truth for teams to help them work in sync. As we\u2019ve already mentioned, IconSystem is already being used by Sainsbury\u2019s, and other industry leaders like Asda and IHG also rely on our software to manage standards and specifications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking to streamline project information and enhance collaboration for construction and retail fit out projects, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elecosoft.com\/products\/iconsystem\/request-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>book a free IconSystem demo<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note: This is a commercial profile<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To help your company run more efficient projects, let\u2019s delve into why collaboration is key in construction and explore how smarter information management can drive better outcomes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"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":[172736],"tags":[172740,464,574,172727,780,172737,389],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172433],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-121375","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-construction-software-news","7":"tag-collaboration-software","8":"tag-contributor-profile","9":"tag-data-management","10":"tag-featured","11":"tag-collaboration","12":"tag-project-management-software","13":"tag-sh-elecosoft","14":"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>Building success: why collaboration is key in construction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Let\u2019s delve into why collaboration is key in construction and explore how smarter information management can drive better outcomes\" \/>\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\/construction-technology-news\/building-success-why-collaboration-is-key-in-construction\/121375\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Building success: why collaboration is key in construction\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"To help your company run more efficient projects, let\u2019s delve into why collaboration is key in construction and explore how smarter information management can drive better outcomes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/construction-technology-news\/building-success-why-collaboration-is-key-in-construction\/121375\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
