Your Obstacles.

The construction and real estate operations face a wide variety of challenges on the job, and your equipment must support you every step of the way.

Reduce Carbon Footprint:

In today’s construction industry, there is a growing emphasis on not only improving the sustainability of the building process but also minimising waste and reducing materials sent to landfills. It is crucial to recognise that the construction sector accounts for a staggering 40% of global CO2 emissions and 36% of worldwide energy consumption. With increased focus on environmental impact across industries, clients are increasingly expecting construction projects to incorporate demonstrable sustainable practices.

Unpredictable Supply Chains:

In today’s construction landscape, the need for improved cost control and tracking has become increasingly vital due to the escalating cost of raw materials and supply constraints. With the rising prices and limited availability of essential resources like timber, steel, and concrete – construction projects face significant challenges in maintaining budgetary control and ensuring efficient resource allocation. By implementing robust cost control and tracking measures, construction companies can closely monitor expenditure, identify opportunities for cost reduction, optimise resource utilisation, and navigate the complexities of the market.

Effective cost control and tracking not only safeguard project profitability but also contribute to the overall success and sustainability of construction projects in an environment known for its volatile material costs and supply limitations.

Our Solutions.

Regulatory Compliance:

In light of the Grenfell tragedy, new fire safety legislation, including the BS-8644-1 standard, has been implemented to enhance safety measures. This standard mandates the collection of crucial information at key stages of the construction process.

The Hackett report further identifies three critical Gateways – Design, Delivery, and Build – where accurate information input is vital. To comply with these requirements, the collected information must be easily accessible, secure, and consistent. Contractors now have a legal obligation to deliver this information, making reliable software and data capture no longer a luxury but a necessary culture change that emphasizes digitalisation by default.

Information management now demands accessibility not only among contractors but also with local authorities and fire and rescue services to ensure comprehensive safety measures.

Our Solutions.

Workforce & SubContractor Communication:

To support constant communication among stakeholders on construction sites, the adoption of reliable and secure 5G technology is essential. Private 5G networks, coupled with push-to-talk (PTT) applications, enable seamless connectivity between the site, back office, home office, and project partners. This technology allows cost-effective deployment, efficient data capture, organisation, and analysis, even with large volumes of data and photographic information.

Consequently, projects can be streamlined and proactive decision-making in real-time becomes possible. Safety audits can be conducted more swiftly and accurately, while regular training can be directly delivered to workers’ devices and recorded for future reference.

Mobile Phones and Health and Safety

The inability to monitor mobile devices on construction sites poses hazards due to the distractions caused by consumer-grade phones. Contractors face limitations in implementing rules for on-site device usage as most workers use personal devices. With the annual cost of accidents on UK construction sites exceeding £16 billion, employers incurring around 20% of these costs, distractions and lack of training are key factors contributing to accidents.

Implementing suitable technology enables the use of devices solely for work purposes, allowing efficient completion and storage of risk assessments. Real-time incident logging has seen a significant increase, up to 50%, allowing for prompt reporting and action. Technology solutions that provide control and monitoring over mobile devices enhance safety measures, reduce distractions, and improve focus, ultimately minimising costs and building a safer work environment.
