Your team is working on a complicated tender. Portions of this job require single line rather than triple line and you have identified some installations that require a trench box. Traffic accommodation challenges are everywhere, and a 100-tonne crane will be required. You go to the effort of breaking down every grade sheet and have it analyzed in detail like the below diagram. Excellent work!
The tender closes, YOU WON! Congratulations! If the field team constructs this project exactly as it was estimated, there is a lot of money to be made. Crack open the champaign!
Fast forward 4 months… The Superintendent hands the job off to the Foreman and many of the estimating nuances are forgotten entirely. The estimating notes are buried deep in the tender file and the field team attempts to do the job with the same methodology as any other. Triple line is attempted in stage 1 and the road is left open for stage 3. Let the job losses begin!
Fast forward to job completion and accounting results … The job was a loser! The estimating team blames the field team for poor methodology and the field team blames the estimating team for bidding too cheap. A dollar short, a day late, and an opportunity lost.
Introducing the Vizzn Solution: Interactive Site Drawings for Day-to-Day Construction
Imagine if you could communicate to the field team, the optimal site methodology of each scope of work on a project in a way that misunderstandings and forgetfulness could never happen. Amazing, right?! …. Welcome to Vizzn. This is exactly what happens in Vizzn enabled companies. See the attached photo of a Foreman seeing the job details and relevant notes as they pertain to exactly where he is standing and for his scope of work. Welcome back job profitability, my old friend!
If the way it was designed to be constructed is not possible, the Foreman can document it on Vizzn with a properly oriented photo and video. This documentation may lead to extra billings to reclaim costs, or at worst, can be used as a learning tool for the estimating team and future tenders.
Use this tool to Communicate Construction Nuances to the Field Team; Relevant to their Current Scope of Work.
This product is ideal for the heavy civil construction industry including dirt movers, underground contractors, concrete and paving contractors, landscaping.
