70-90% of construction projects experience 20-30% time overruns on average, with delays of up to 50% common in megaprojects.
Delays are interlinked to cost overruns, with basically all (80-98%) projects exceeding their budgets by an average of 20-30%.
Time and cost overruns have remained high for the past 70 years, despite decades of project management advances.
This is a hint that we are targeting symptoms rather than root causes and that an alternative to the traditional approach is necessary.
Everyday something goes wrong in a project - a delivery is delayed, the site is inaccessible for a few days due to bad weather, crews' performance is lower than expected etc. But all these minor deviations remain unnoticeable until they have a serious impact on the Schedule. When it is already late, as minor delays cascade fast into major
Everyday something goes wrong in a project - a delivery is delayed, the site is inaccessible for a few days due to bad weather, crews' performance is lower than expected etc. But all these minor deviations remain unnoticeable until they have a serious impact on the Schedule. When it is already late, as minor delays cascade fast into major Overruns.
You can now scrutinise every detail of your site activity!
Progress reports are full of data. But, progress appears in these reports just as a percentage. What it refers to? Are the data reliable? Are they up-to-date? Which part of the site is currently advancing and where the crews will move next? And where was this photo taken and when? Where is your Site Manager standing on site requesting fe
Progress reports are full of data. But, progress appears in these reports just as a percentage. What it refers to? Are the data reliable? Are they up-to-date? Which part of the site is currently advancing and where the crews will move next? And where was this photo taken and when? Where is your Site Manager standing on site requesting feedback?
You can now see the status of your project "live"!
With issues identified late, it is no surprise that every project seems like a wildfire. The contractor tells you not to worry and that everything is under control. Your intuition and experience tells you the opposite. But what is a fair estimate for your final Overrun. Which mitigation is the optimum one? How could you make it without
With issues identified late, it is no surprise that every project seems like a wildfire. The contractor tells you not to worry and that everything is under control. Your intuition and experience tells you the opposite. But what is a fair estimate for your final Overrun. Which mitigation is the optimum one? How could you make it without overspending?
You can now optioneer and take rational mitigation decisions!
Even when any mitigation decision is made., its effectiveness remains poorly monitored. You will probably realise, when you review the next monthly report, that your mitigation was insufficient or that your contractor was slow in complying with your directions. How could you know earlier? How could you adjust faster? How do you enforce de
Even when any mitigation decision is made., its effectiveness remains poorly monitored. You will probably realise, when you review the next monthly report, that your mitigation was insufficient or that your contractor was slow in complying with your directions. How could you know earlier? How could you adjust faster? How do you enforce decisions?
You can now define and monitor weekly performance metrics!
Plots on a map the present, past, or future status of all your workflows, providing you with a live eagle's view on your project
Allows you to compare visually different dates, or actual vs schedule, overlapping also any available imagery (from drone, satellite etc.)
Processes site footage to detect presence of components and progress of works, verifying independently your contractor's reporting
Geolocates information (photos, tickets etc.) and people (when on site), facilitating communication between site and office teams
Integrates status and performance data form different sources (surveys, footage, sensors etc.) in a single source of truth
Analyses data to present progress and performance, verify milestones, and detect deviations to schedule or quality
Quantifies expected Overrun, based on present status, crews' performance, and future events inducing delays (late deliveries etc.)
Allows you to check the time and cost impact of potential mitigation measures and chose the optimum blend, in line with your priorities
Translates decisions to performance metrics, checking daily effectiveness of mitigation measures and contractor's compliance to these
