In an industry notorious for inefficiency, construction companies are turning to Lean management techniques to streamline their workflows.
Managing construction projects – however small or big – is no easy feat. Ask anyone in the construction industry, and they will tell you that it requires extensive planning and maturity.
The construction industry is in a state of flux with technology being one of the key drivers.
Disruption, they say, reshapes the world. And the construction industry, which is deeply rooted in the built, real-world, might seem less likely to be disrupted when compared to the other.
These days, ideas are easy to come by. The value of an idea, however, lies in using it for the greater good.
The construction industry is evolving and VisiLean has been playing a significant role in bringing about this change.
We live in a world where digitalisation is the buzzword. While most of the other sectors embraced it quickly, the construction industry has so far remained an industry characterised by manual processes and traditional methods.
Construction management is a daunting process. The timelines, budgets, scheduling, communication, decision-making, analytics, various stakeholders; there are quite a lot of things that have to be managed effectively for the successful completion of a project.
The adoption of BIM in the construction industry has been evidently documented for its successes in enabling lean outcomes and efficiency across projects.
The VisiLean team actively participated at the ILCC 2021 Conference held at CEPT University, Ahmedabad, during the first week of December.
Construction has greatly evolved over the last couple of decades. Projects are more complex than ever before, with teams pushing the boundaries of design and engineering with each new endeavour.
Companies in construction are inching towards a ‘lean’ approach to project delivery globally. However, this has proven to be easier said than done, as is evident from the numerous case studies over the past 2 decades.
If you check the NBS BIM Report, 2020, you will come across a very interesting statistic – “BIM awareness and ‘use’ 2011 vs 2020”.
Construction management involves the amalgamation of an array of services through the project phases of construction planning, designing, execution, and commissioning, aimed towards achieving project objectives such as management of quality, cost, time, and scope.
The end of the last decade left the whole world with scars we are still recovering from. Amongst all affected, the AEC industry has taken a huge hit from the global pandemic, with projects across the globe still struggling to see a significant scope of revival.
How does your site communicate to the project office? Let me guess; you generate construction reports – reports of all types and formats.
Can you imagine doing any of your construction project work without using Excel? In fact, I’m willing to bet that as you read this on your browser, you have Excel open on your system!
Multi Media Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad has been awarded the work of Project Management Consultancy for Mummadpura Flyover Project by Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), with Ranjit Buildcon as the General Contractor.
We cannot simply eliminate the top-down approach of construction scheduling, as we need to have targets to structure the execution and define the key milestones.
When was the last time you visited site and the neat print of the Project Schedule put up on the board at the site office showed an accurate picture of what is actually happening on-site?
Not knowing how to effectively adopt BIM for construction project management has led to ad-hoc implementation across organisations.
There has been an exponential growth of BIM since a decade, from just 13% in 2011 to 73% in 2020. 72% of BIM adopters further claim that BIM reduces risk.
One thing that is common in all construction projects, irrespective of scope, size, or budget, is that all of them undergo numerous changes and revisions.
VisiLean is proud to announce that we are now part of the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud 12 Framework as a pre-approved vendor for cloud-based computing services for customers in the UK public sector.
Construction projects are complex in nature. At their very core are people, who drive the initiative towards its successful realisation; the ones who create the requirement, provide the capital, plan, design, build, and finally, operate the facility.
Although the application of lean construction has been significantly increasing on projects, tools that support its implementation through continue to remain limited.
Going digital doesn’t necessarily mean your project site will be full of flying drones and robots walking around. In all probability, most sites will still look very much the same from the outside, as today
What will change with digitalisation, however, is the way information is transmitted across your teams, and how you use that to plan, monitor, and deliver your project!
COVID-19 has disturbed the industry globally, drastically altering our existing workflows for project delivery.
Construction projects comprise of many stakeholders; from Clients who initiate the project and define the requirement, to Architects and Designers who give this vision a form, to finally all the expert Consultants and Contractors who help in the physical realisation of this vision.
Anyone who has worked on a construction project knows about the constant “fire fighting” the team has to put up with. Every day brings new challenges posed through uncertainty that has seemingly emerged out of nowhere.
