Online Project Management Software

September 19, 2008

I just came across a good article today about some factors and trends regarding the use of online project management software for construction. 

Typically the problem of remote software use has always been connectivity and trust with information being stored off-site.  Don Fornes does an excellent point of laying this all out.

Pre-Fabrication Saves 190,000 Hours Of Traffic Delays

September 18, 2008

Pre-planning which leads to pre-fabrication opportunities is something we work with clients relentlessly on.  It still amazes me that even in this tight economy how much push back we get from people at all levels of the company. 

If we can find a way to pre-fabricate entire sections of a building or bridges as shown in this article why do so many contractors fight the basics of setting up a pre-fab operation for their own niche of work? 

Labor is the most valuable and highly variable component of a contractor's business.  There is little that will have as big of an impact on construction labor productivity than the relentless focus on pre-planning and pre-fabrication.
