In construction, we can observe a significant amount of information generated during a project. Therefore, it is also possible to say that the exchange of this information, both inside and outside the job sites, plays a fundamental role in the productivity of planning and execution processes.

Still, one of the main difficulties of a project is the communication that, most of the time, presents flaws due to a lack of clarity and the decentralization of data.

The great challenge is to ensure that the professionals involved in the project have access to the relevant data for each of them, as it directly influences the results, efficiency, and safety of the construction.

Few things generate more waste and unnecessary costs than having to redo a job that has already been completed. In the construction sector, for example, this often reflects a lack of communication and synchronization between the job site and the design office.

In light of these challenges, many remote management platforms have gained more visibility in the sector. Improving this process is a challenge that companies need to prioritize, as it ensures more productivity and quality of service.

Construct IN, therefore, guarantees more transparency on projects and better communication through notes within the platform itself. Through 360º images, the tool allows for remote visits to projects and the delivery of instructions in a clear and precise manner.

Now see how the creation of notes can help improve project productivity.

How to optimize communication on projects

One of Construct IN's main objectives is to solve problems related to the decentralization of information and lack of transparency in projects.

In addition to optimizing communication between the involved areas, it is capable of connecting the office and the job site through 360° documentation, offering several functionalities that ensure the efficiency of the process.

The ability to make notes within the platform itself, for example, helps ensure that management and the exchange of information on projects occur in a faster and more effective manner. This feature allows for the attachment of documents, commenting on images, delegating tasks, and generating reports on all changes and progress of the project.

In construction, it is extremely important to ensure that information reaches everyone clearly and objectively, avoiding errors and possible rework. Therefore, it requires well-defined processes and flows.

The functions offered by Construct IN ensure that all stakeholders have access to the notes in an integrated manner with the team, generating collaboration among engineers, designers, clients, and other professionals.

The platform, which primarily focuses on remote project monitoring with 360° cameras, centralizes information and details of the project throughout the entire construction progress, as well as providing reports of notes.

In this way, it is possible to streamline communication, eliminate the lack of transparency in project processes, and reduce the need for on-site visits, resulting in time and cost savings.

According to Tales Silva, CEO of Construct IN, in addition to visualizing the location of the note and the responsible teams marked at that point, there is also the possibility to classify by priority and description of the note:

“It ends up becoming like a task manager, where a person sets a date that the note will expire, a cause, the typification, and a discipline involved in the project.”

Benefits of notes Visi by Construct IN

The platform's potential to make notes has gained prominence among professionals at LD Consulting, a consulting firm in various areas of Project, Planning, Pre-construction, and Project Management.

According to Fabrício Berger de Vargas, Civil Engineer and Lean Consultant at LD, the tool serves as a great ally for medium-term planning and activity control, as it is possible to define the responsible person, a completion date, priorities, or even point out restrictions related to the location, the image, and other markings.

“In addition, it helps with the checklist for the final project delivery, as we can create notes on all final pending issues and link them to the people responsible for performing this verification,” adds Fabrício.

Another company that has seen benefits from this functionality is Timenow, specialized in consulting and project management. According to Octávio Amaranto Magalhães, Head of Innovation and Communication at the company, transparency in communication and easy access to information is a significant advantage for the team and the proper functioning of activities:

“Information is transmitted more clearly and transparently, integrated with Timenow's project management software, Time Connect, connecting designers, clients, and teams to the job site, and enabling access on mobile phones or tablets anytime and anywhere.”

According to him, the ability to perform remote monitoring is among the main benefits of the platform. To learn more about how Construct IN's solutions are optimizing Timenow's processes, download the complete case here.
