Every construction supervisor in the industry knows that there has to be a balance between fast work and quality craftsmanship. Customers have deadlines, and they require their building projects to be completed on time, without sacrificing quality. To harmonize these qualities in a successful construction team, construction scheduling software is a tool that will organize, communicate, and save time.
Supervisors and company owners are turning to construction scheduling software for its ability to assist with the completion of projects on time and under budget. This has resulted in more jobs completed, and with a higher quality, that exceeds the customer’s expectations.
What is SAM?
SAM [Superintendants Automated Manager] is a program that takes the pre-set templates that are required in every standard building project, and allows the customizations that make each home unique. The software documents each step in the process, allowing superintendants the ability to make notes and track changes as he goes.
The information that accumulates in the software, throughout each building project, serves as a reference guide that saves time while working on subsequent jobs. This can include information such as pricing details, contact information to trades, and the organization of building crews that worked well for the specifics of a project.
Sam also has the ability to track the timeline of the project, keeping the building team on a schedule. A house that is built on time and under budget leads to a quality company, which is referred to new clients, and hired for repeat business.
What is VIC?
VIC [Vendors Information Console] is a supplement to construction software. It allows vendors and trades to communicate directly with SAM to:
� Save Time
� Save Money
� Reduce Phone Conversations
� Consolidate Communications [email, fax, phone, notes]
� Allows Scheduling Access
� Documents Confirmations and Rejections of Scheduled Meetings and Events.
This Internet based vendor can be accessed from anywhere that a connection is available. Superintendents can organize their crew and trades people from their laptop or Smartphone, directly on the job site. There is nothing to download and no programs will take up space on the computer.
The program even includes a blog so that supervisors can communicate with their crew, schedule or decline appointments and post comments. This is a great way to find out information quickly, and to be in touch with the current progress of any project.
SAM and VIC combined makes building jobs easier to manage and complete, by providing a comprehensive way to organize and communicate, with everyone involved with the project. The software saves companies time, money and eliminates the need to communicate through multiple systems.
