Managing resources across projects can be a challenge for any contractor. Without insight into smart planning and scheduling of resources, projects can fall way behind schedule quickly. Construction companies need the ability to have real-time visibility into resources needed, what’s available, where their resources are located, and the ability to reschedule those resources accordingly.

Ensuring the highest utilization of resources across all projects in order to complete on schedule is key to delivering on time and under budget. That’s why a program that provides visibility into early indicators where owned resources are light to allow for rentals, subcontracts, or purchases to be secured is so important.

Contractors implementing user-friendly and flexible construction software solutions for better resource management are able to:

  • Easily define resource requirements at the project level.
  • Classify employees, equipment, crews and track their availability.
  • Assign the resources to projects as needed.
  • Improved operational efficiencies through controlled planning.
  • Make informed decision around effective utilization of employees, equipment and crews.

For efficiencies and a competitive edge, it’s important that contractors move scheduling away from magnet boards and spreadsheets and into a centralized scheduling system by using construction software that includes Resource Management functionality.Learn more: Watch video about Resource Management.
