Frequently, poor communication and information leads to unnecessary and costly errors in complex building projects. In order to minimise the potential for errors, the Schüco start-up PlanToBuild has developed a cross-trade, web-based software solution for effective management of construction projects.
The new software has been designed by construction industry insiders based on the actual requirements of everyone involved internally and externally in the building process.
The management of building projects has become a valuable field of expertise. With PlanToBuild, companies have an integrated tool that supports core tasks and is becoming more and more important where the financial management of building projects is concerned – says Raphael Viemeister, Managing Director of PlanToBuild.
From planning through to management, implementation and analysis, PlanToBuild covers all phases of project management and simultaneously enables digital networking and direct communication with all of the key players involved. With just a single tool, PlanToBuild has managed to meet the varying requirements of different target groups so that they can work together, hand-in-hand. Managing directors, workshop supervisors, project leaders, installers, architects and investors all benefit from the project management software, which makes the construction project transparent and manageable, and also simplifies building processes.
One software, many functions
PlanToBuild offers its customers a variety of functions to cover scheduling, task management, daily construction reports, defect management, reporting and much more. A modular and intuitive operating concept streamlines shared project management. Different workspaces contain specific functions which can be used by everyone according to their responsibilities and authorisation. The intuitive web-based application from PlanToBuild therefore allows you to oversee the construction project at any time, anywhere and on any device. A key building block of the software solution is the unit management function, which allows 2D and 3D building models to be digitally generated.
All construction units can be easily located in the models and linked to all kinds of information, such as dimensions, item lists and QR codes, as well as quality and inspection checklists. Successful teamwork is supported by the document collaboration function. In the file platform you can find all your project-related data and documents, which all users can access according to their respective permissions. Bottlenecks and unused capacity are also a thing of the past thanks to PlanToBuild. With the capacity utilisation function, all resources can be efficiently managed in the best way possible.
