KEEPING YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON-TASK
It’s a fact that lack of communication costs businesses across the United States thousands of dollars every year. In fact, for companies with 100 employees, they lose $420,000 on average a year and companies that have over 100,000 employees, they lose $62.4 million a year. Admittedly, it’s hard to measure something that is a bit intangible such as communication. There is no doubt that errors are made, tasks have to be re-done, and hours are wasted due to an employee not understanding an instruction. In addition, getting off schedule leads to major delays, which is money out the door as well.

SCHEDULING AND COMMUNICATION
BENEFITS OF OPTIMIZED SCHEDULING PROCESSES ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE
- Keep the project on-track. In construction, there is a logical order to how buildings come together. You have to pour the concrete foundation before you can frame. You have to frame before you can add insulation. Construction builds upon itself, so it’s critical that every task is scheduled out in order to avoid delays.
- Keep costs under control. Scheduling your construction project allows you to know the preliminary costs ahead of time so you can plan for them. The last thing you want is to forget about an important task until the time has come, and it inflates your costs.
- Aids in planning. Planning and scheduling truly go hand-in-hand. You can plan the equipment, materials, and labor needs when you have a schedule to work from.
- Eliminates bottle-necks. Having delays in a construction project often leads to bottlenecks where crews are left waiting on another to finish a certain task before they can begin their’s. This can easily lead to a snowball effect that can cost you weeks and dollars.
- Manages project risks. With anything in life, there are risks. By having a construction schedule, you can plan for the unforeseen, such as weather delays with buffers and cushions, and you can quickly recover from them as well.

BENEFITS OF STREAMLINED COMMUNICATION ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE
- Keeps everyone safe. On a construction job site with heavy equipment and working at heights and with heavy materials, injury can be right around the corner. In fact, one in every 10 construction workers is injured while on the job. By having effective communications in place, you can ensure your construction employees stay safe.
- Keeps everyone working as a team. It can be challenging to meet your construction deadlines when subcontractors are not effectively communicating or individuals within a unit aren’t on the same page. When communication is streamlined with things such as daily briefings, your construction project stays moving.
- Keeps feedback flowing. A construction project is like an animal in motion, it flows from one person to the next. When there is a break in the motion, it can be difficult for the project manager and supervisors to realize it until it has caused a delay in the process. By keeping a pulse on the entire crew, you are able to receive feedback close to real-time so that changes or communication can be implemented sooner rather than later.
