This is the #1 most common inefficiency in the construction industry… Tracking. With multiple vendors and workers on work sites, it’s difficult to keep track of what’s going on at any given point of any day. Up until now, the only way to track that was through an overuse of sticky notes… Which, let’s face it, could easily be whisked away under a desk, never to be found again. I bet a number of us can confidently say we’ve found a sticky note from an old project and have no idea what it’s in reference to. So at Disperse, we tried to address this very issue. Introducing Lookahead, our newest construction planning tool. This efficiency-building tool is not just about planning… It’s about intentional syncing that enhances workflow accuracy and efficiency throughout your worksites. Imagine entering your construction site on a Monday morning to find your one-to-five-week schedule, organised and automatically synced based on real-time progress. No more grappling with uncertainty or scattered sticky notes. Does your team currently utilise something like this? Or are you still relying on the pen-and-paper approach? #disperse #construction #constructiontechnology #constructionprojectmanagement #constructionplanning

One unsurprising number you'll find by digging into the spreadsheet data: The value of manufacturing-related construction in the U.S. through the first 10 months of 2023 was $159 billion, up 72% compared to the same period in 2022. One possibly surprising number given the state of office space in many regions: The value of office construction for the 2023 period was $82.2 billion, up by 8.2%. #reshoring #economicdevelopment #RTO https://lnkd.in/ggQxjweg

With labour and contractors accounting for more than 70% of your build costs, it's never been more critical to keep ‘boots on the ground’ busy and provide real-time visibility from the field to the office. What's the cost of NOT choosing a best-of-breed construction solution to optimize teams and work? Find out here:

Certainly, the construction backlog update reveals a steady yet concerning trend in the industry. As of December 2023, the backlog stands at 8.6 months, a figure similar to the previous month. While this may suggest a positive outlook for the year, caution is warranted. Contractors' reported optimism during the holiday season could be misleading. The ideal backlog for a sufficient buffer should be closer to 10 or 12 months. The stagnation at 8.6 months raises questions about the sustainability of the current pace, hinting at a potential slowdown. The analogy of backlog as a finite resource is crucial. Without a continuous influx of new projects, the industry risks depleting its backlog. The inability to consistently add new projects to the pipeline is a red flag, indicating a potential gap in project creation and acquisition.

In construction, time is MONEY. 💰 When your workers need to stop work completely in order to access the plans and information they need, you lose not only productivity, but capital. 📉 If there was a better and faster way to share information, wouldn’t you at least consider it? 🤔 #construction #timeismoney #constructiontechnology
