The complexities of today’s construction projects bring new challenges when managing and coordinating resources across the extended project enterprise. Enormous amount of data is created, used and managed throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. This demands a more integrated approach to share project data in a unified, collaborative project environment supporting all key disciplines and all phases. Tracking and recording information on a construction site can be extremely tedious and prone to errors. Traditional paper-based entries are often hard to find or share between workers – resulting in stakeholders being unable to acquire the data they need swiftly.
Adopting Digital Project Information Management solutions can help improve collaboration and gain real-time visibility into project performance, reduce cost and risks. We help teams to complete projects faster by empowering them with timely project information, financial performance monitoring, and a detailed electronic project record.
Using a digital project information management system can help construction project teams to work more efficiently, reduce risks, and deliver high-quality projects on time and within budget.
At Digile, we are committed to providing digital solutions to improve the quality, availability and timeliness of information and facilitate more efficient decision-making across the asset lifecycle.
Successful transformation starts with laying the right foundation. Let’s talk about your next project. How can we help you?
Increased Productivity
Digital project information management systems enable real-time tracking of project progress, reducing the likelihood of delays and ensuring that the project is completed on time and within budget. A recent study by KPMG and Centre for Digital Built Britain has found that the use of IM could potentially secure between £5.10 and £6.00 of direct labour productivity gains for every £1 invested in IM, and between £6.90 and £7.40 in direct cost savings (from reductions in delivery time, labour time and materials). They have also found evidence of costs savings at various stages of the asset lifecycle, ranging from 1.6 per cent to 18 per cent depending on the lifecycle stage.
Improved Collaboration
There are various stakeholders involved in a construction project at different stages of a project’s lifecycle. A digital information management system allows all stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, and project owners, to access and share information in real-time, improving collaboration and communication among team members. A digital IM also eliminates the need for paper-based records, reducing the likelihood of errors and discrepancies in project data.
Better Risk Management
Digital information management systems allow project teams to track project risks and develop contingency plans to mitigate them, reducing the likelihood of project delays and cost overruns. It also enables real-time monitoring of construction quality, allowing project teams to identify and address issues quickly and efficiently.
Enhanced Safety
Workplace safety is an important concern for all construction companies. It is critical to always provide a safe working environment for their workers and public. A digital information management system can improve safety on construction sites by providing real-time access to safety plans and procedures, reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
