General Contracting

A Contractor enters into a binding agreement with owners or owner-agents to perform work on a construction project(s). From a business management perspective, it is essential that accurate estimates are created early in the bidding process to ensure bidding success. Once a project is awarded a contractor is concerned with managing the amount of resources, equipment and materials to control the costs of the overall project.

General contractors take responsibility and accountability for completing the job for owners to construct an asset based on an awarded bid. Although General Contractor performs some parts of the project with his own teams; they often subcontract a portion of the work to other construction firms or specialty contractors. In absence of a good system, here are some of the challenges, GC's face:

• Inaccurate estimates during the bidding process affecting profitability
• Manual data collected from the field is error prone and cumbersome
• Managing a constantly changing labour force without a proper system is difficult
• Lack of real-time access to project cost and timeline data
• Manual change order processes are time consuming and cause un-necessary project delays
• Poor management of sub-contractors due to lack of proper tools reduces visibility to project status

Some of the benefits our integrated solution brings to the table are:

• Electronic Bidding
• Manage multiple projects at connected and disconnected sites
• Mobile data entry in an online-offline mode
• Seamless Integration into back end ERP and Scheduling Systems
• Automated and proven change order process
• Easy-to-use solution that allows contractors to determine project costs nearly real-time
• Maintenance of centralized project repositories
• Standard reports for documentation
• Management of specialty sub-contractors and labour contractors
