As labour, materials, and energy costs fluctuate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-software-news\/its-time-for-smes-to-invest-in-construction-software-their-survival-depends-on-it\/134576\/\">small to medium-sized enterprises<\/a> (SMEs) are the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>As SMEs are more exposed to consumer demand and often wait a long time for payment from those higher up the supply chain, it is easy to see why the volume of their business failures is at its highest level in over a decade.<\/p>\n<h3>How construction software can help<\/h3>\n<p>According to James Chambers, director of global industry development for the Build and Construct Division at Nemetschek, SMEs must look for ways to work more effectively to survive in this climate.<\/p>\n<p>He says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebeam.com\/uk\/solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">construction software<\/a> can help: \u201cThe use of construction-focused software has increased in the last few years. While the pandemic was undoubtedly a trigger point for many, investment has not slowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany more solutions are on the market than a few years ago, suitable for all business sizes. Years ago, people used to think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/how-construction-technology-can-help-manage-and-maintain-buildings\/130300\/\">digitalisation<\/a> was out of reach because of the cost of purchasing solutions and the perceived implementation challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, solutions are more accessible, and many companies realise they can improve their margins and deliver better project outcomes without breaking the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Transforming construction businesses with software<\/h3>\n<p>Chambers adds that these tools can be transformative no matter how companies implement them. That said, he cautions that businesses develop a detailed use case first: \u201cBefore making an investment in software, leaders should look at what the business<br \/>\nneeds at both the project level and operational level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding the way that people work, the tools available on the market, and the key improvements that you want to achieve, the likelihood of choosing the right software and implementing it properly is much higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether starting with a small step, using software that tackles one problem at a time,<br \/>\nor overhauling the business from top to bottom, I think businesses will be able to find something that helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explains that companies often look to improve financial management, de-risk projects, and boost collaboration when starting out with construction software.<\/p>\n<p>While all are useful, he argues that anything that helps with finance should come first.<br \/>\n\u201cTools can monitor cashflow easily and flag any danger areas, such as late payments or increases in costs,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCash is king, so removing analogue processes and improving data capture and analysis here will make a big difference to business owners and senior teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Remove risk by bringing people together<\/h3>\n<p>After finance, Chambers suggests that tools that drive effective communication should be<br \/>\nnext: \u201cOne way to reduce mistakes and avoid costly rework or delays is through effective communication between the project team and the client.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoftware can help here, too. Take capturing customer requirements. A consistent<br \/>\nworkflow ensures the client\u2019s desired outcomes and expectations are fully understood and easy to share among the full project team. That reduces the chances of any surprises during the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombining this with cloud-based tools allows real-time collaboration on documents,<br \/>\nwhether on-site or in an office. With activities like design changes and updates logged in real-time, you are never more than a click away from the latest project information.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Bluebeam and CIOB team up on guide<\/h3>\n<p>To help SMEs understand how to adopt construction software, Bluebeam has partnered with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) to write a technical guide, Digital Transformation for SMEs: Unlocking the Benefits.<\/p>\n<p>It outlines a step-by-step process for adopting technology, including where software can improve or replace processes, finding the best solution, and successfully rolling out new software tools.<\/p>\n<p>It also includes case studies from SME contractors who have adopted new software tools and seen huge improvements in their business.<\/p>\n<p>Chambers concludes: \u201cIf you are just starting out, I recommend that companies choose quick and easy tools to adopt, bringing people together and delivering recognisable gains as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important thing is to ensure that a high return on investment can be<br \/>\nachieved and that those wins can be shared internally. This tends to help adoption, lays the groundwork for future additions, and ensures that the full benefits of the software can be realised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy helping people to be more efficient and bringing up-to-date and accurate information to the forefront, businesses can improve their performance significantly and make themselves more robust and futureproof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Digital Transformation for SMEs: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciobacademy.org\/product\/digital-transformation-for-smes-unlocking-the-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unlocking the Benefits can be downloaded for free using code \u2018bluebeamtis\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bluebeam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0) 203 868 9061<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:sales.uk@bluebeam.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sales.uk@bluebeam.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluebeam.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.bluebeam.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bluebeam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/showcase\/bluebeam-uki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bluebeamuki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bluebeam_uki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note: This is a commercial profile.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluebeam has partnered with the Chartered Institute of Building to write a step-by-step guide to help SMEs understand how to adopt construction software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"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":[38487],"tags":[172811,16990,856,172721,172727],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172393],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-134911","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-construction-technology-news","7":"tag-bim-today-december-2023","8":"tag-construction-software","9":"tag-construction-technology","10":"tag-digital-built-britain","11":"tag-featured","12":"stakeholder_rel_tag-bluebeam"},"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>CIOB and Bluebeam help SMEs adopt construction software<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bluebeam has partnered with the CIOB to write a step-by-step guide to help SMEs understand how to adopt construction 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\/construction-technology-news\/ciob-and-bluebeam-team-up-to-help-smes-adopt-construction-software\/134911\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CIOB and Bluebeam team up to help SMEs adopt construction software\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bluebeam has partnered with the Chartered Institute of Building to write a step-by-step guide to help SMEs understand how to adopt construction software.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/ciob-and-bluebeam-team-up-to-help-smes-adopt-construction-software\/134911\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
