Few in the construction industry would disagree with investment projects becoming more complex. There are several reasons for this, including advances in construction and engineering methods, an increasingly sophisticated workforce, increased labor demand and material costs, and higher expectations. Project teams have grown larger and consist of a wider range of organizations that need to share information and processes in a controlled environment. As a result, project risk becomes higher and more difficult to manage. There is more project information to process than ever before: more documents, more drawings, and more multidimensional models from different providers.

Construction projects have become more complex in 2024, and the need for effective digital governance is more critical than ever. Here are up-to-date signs that your project may lack necessary digital tools:

1. Delayed Emails and Missing Responses:
   • Critical communications miss their targets, affecting the timing and effectiveness of the project.
     
     
2. Outdated and inaccurate documents:
   • Works with data that does not reflect recent changes or requirements, leading to errors and delays.
     
     
3. Limited overview of project activities:
   • Lack of insight into what the team is working on, which can lead to inefficiencies and lost opportunities.
     
     
4. Workflows collapse without warning:
   • Detects problems only when it is too late, creating unnecessary administrative work and delaying deliveries.
     
     
5. Problems with the handover of quality assurance and maintenance manuals:
   • The handover of critical documents and manuals is problematic and time-consuming at project completion.
     
     
6. Missing important milestones for no apparent reason:
   • Important goals are overlooked or discovered too late, leading to additional costs and budget overruns.
     
     
7. Increasing project costs for no clear reason:
   • Unexplained budget overruns occur, increasing financial risks.
     
     
8. Conflicts between project teams:
   • More conflicts than successful deliveries due to lack of coordination and information.

If you could nod in recognition to one or more of these issues, consider introducing digital tools for information automation and process management on your next project. If you already use build-oriented software and are still experiencing these problems, you probably chose the wrong solution. In either case, you should contact Byggeprojekt.dk today. Then we can help you assess your current project management and the software requirements for your construction management.
