Powerproject Vision<\/a>, a web-based portal for managing construction plans, has now been proven in use for well over a year. What a year it has been<\/h2>\n

During the pandemic, Powerproject Vision has proved how it can enable flexibility, support continuity, enable collaboration and transform business visibility for contractors when the times are at their most demanding.<\/p>\n

Powerproject software<\/a> is the sector\u2019s most popular choice for construction planning<\/a>, used extensively by businesses of all sizes, including 85 of the UK\u2019s top 100 contractors. It has continuously evolved to meet the changing requirements of contractors.<\/p>\n

Powerproject Vision is designed to help the construction sector recognise the potential of digital and cloud to meet its urgent needs to enhance efficiency and speed. The pandemic only accelerated these needs, and it created a proving ground for the new solution.<\/p>\n

The power of Vision in practice<\/h3>\n

Powerproject Vision supports contractors striving for more consistent workflows. Such businesses feature large numbers of concurrent projects or complex projects that require the attention of planning teams, not just individual PMs and planners.<\/p>\n

Careys was among the first to demand these benefits. Derek O\u2019Neil, head of planning for Careys Civil Engineering, saw huge potential to remove complications from the planning process.<\/p>\n

Nearly two years on, he is pleased with the progress: \u201cThe benefits of having all our data centralised on the cloud in Powerproject Vision became clear very quickly. Where projects have multiple planners, they can work together and review projects more easily.<\/p>\n

“It also enables peer reviews as people can see the whole history of the project, including all the revisions and baselines. Having all the files in one place makes it simple to find information and improves our document control.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Building Division at VINCI Construction UK also embraced Powerproject Vision, after an extensive business review conducted in 2019. Head of business excellence Steven Tideswell realised that Powerproject Vision could strongly support its Digital by Desire initiative and efforts to transform planning processes.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe realised that significant change was needed in the planning team\u2019s technology and tools, as well as what they could do with data, insights, and reporting.<\/p>\n

“We are committed Powerproject users and quickly realised that Powerproject Vision<\/a> could be an effective solution to our challenges. Because we have now standardised our programming template in Powerproject Vision all our programmes now have a consistent look and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuity and visibility in a crisis<\/h3>\n

In March 2020, the pandemic changed the game for every business. Construction operations continued, but Covid-19 intensified the need for programme accessibility as social distancing reduced numbers of people on-site, and planners could visit less frequently. Collaboration came to the fore, as more teams worked from home and needed to share information.<\/p>\n

The pandemic also altered the path of some projects. At Careys, a few were paused, while most continued throughout. The advantage of enhanced visibility and centralised cloud file storage became invaluable.<\/p>\n

Derek said: \u201cBecause our progress data is now in Powerproject Vision and connected to our BI reporting, we had clear visibility throughout the pandemic operations. The pandemic has inevitably delayed a few projects but, when they are reactivated, all the data is there waiting and neatly archived in the Powerproject Vision cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many contractors faced tough decisions to furlough some staff and redeploy others. Maintaining continuity on projects is always vital and VINCI had noticed this could be difficult even in normal times when planners or project managers might leave, go on holiday or be absent at any time.<\/p>\n

Steven recalled: \u201cHistorically, our planners worked on Powerproject files on their laptops and didn\u2019t always copy changed files back to the server. Filing was inconsistent. Now we know exactly where the programme is: on the Powerproject Vision cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building cloud foundations for the future<\/h3>\n

The use of cloud to transform core construction processes and integrate project and progress data will be powerful aids to informed decision-making and enabling people to work more flexibly.<\/p>\n

\"PowerprojectDerek believes Careys will benefit on both fronts: \u201cAspects of remote working could continue for a long time, or even permanently. Now I have fewer concerns about where people are working and whether on site or not, because all the data is in one place.<\/p>\n

\u201cProject teams have now been using Powerproject Vision for well over a year. Both they and the wider business are really appreciating the value of having live data at everyone\u2019s fingertips. Showing our capability around project controls<\/a> and how we use data with the aid of Powerproject Vision will become an increasing point of difference for Careys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embracing digital advantage will be critical to enable construction businesses to strengthen and thrive in a challenging environment. Not just to operate effectively as the pandemic continues in 2021, but also to support the role they will play in helping Britain \u2018build back better\u2019 via the National Infrastructure Strategy.<\/p>\n

Efficiency, speed of project delivery and increasing use of modern methods, cloud technology and digital data are as high on the government\u2019s priority list as they are on those of contractors themselves.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
