In the grand theatre of construction, managing a project is akin to orchestrating a symphony – with its crescendos, decrescendos, and occasional unexpected pauses. Here’s a breakdown of the seven most challenging segments directors (read: contractors) face, and how the right construction software can make the performance a standing ovation.
1. Setting the Concert Date: Unrealistic Projected Completion Dates
Just as maestros don’t rush a symphony’s debut, contractors shouldn’t be hurried by premature deadlines. Thankfully, construction project management software like Speedbrick can ensure a harmonious flow of tasks, lending a tempo to the digital procurement strategy, making every movement count.
2. Scouting for Talented Musicians: Shortage of Qualified Labours
Ever tried to replace a violin virtuoso overnight? Government regulations make sourcing skilled labour almost as challenging. With construction supply chain management software, you can keep your construction symphony in tune and adapt to the ever-changing orchestra members.
3. Striking the Right Note: Shortage of Qualified Employee
The Malaysian stage has seen many talents move away. Yet, when contractors lack proficient site supervisors, the entire performance may falter. With the resonance of construction software in Malaysia, contractors can master the rhythm and ensure even novices play like maestros.
4. Writing the Music Sheets: Failure to Document Project Changes
In the vastness of a philharmonic, tracking every variation is crucial. Expecting site personnel to recall every change is like asking an oboist to play from memory. Here, construction management system tools become the written score, documenting every note and nuance.
5. Delayed Applause: Delay in Payment
Awaiting applause post-performance can be heart-wrenching, as is waiting for due payments. But with cloud-based procurement software for construction, payments come in a timely encore, ensuring contractors aren’t left waiting in silence.
6. Tuning the Instruments: Dispute between Parties (Employer, Contractors, Consultant, Employee)
Even in the best symphonies, instruments can clash. Similarly, construction disputes can disrupt the entire melody. Speedbrick’s contractor software ensures clarity and harmony among all players, reducing chances of discord.
7. Keeping the Orchestra in Harmony: Poor Coordination between Contractors
An out-of-tune violin can throw off an entire symphony. Subcon mismanagement is the construction equivalent. Thankfully, there’s software to orchestrate subcon management, ensuring a harmonious performance from start to finish.
