Bluebeam’s latest eBook investigates how using digital tools for construction site logistics can ensure safer, more efficient jobsites.
How technology bolsters site logistics for your construction business
No matter your business’s level of maturity when it comes to construction site logistics, technology has a key role. Digital tools can deliver a new level of logistical effectiveness that will give your operations a boost not just in the planning stages but throughout a project.
So what are the advantages of better site logistics?
- Scheduling efficiency: Build more precision into your schedules and agendas.
- Jobsite safety: Keep personnel and equipment safer without sacrificing speed.
- Cost-effectiveness: Use accumulated efficiencies to deliver against tighter budgets.
During eras of tight margins, supply chain disruptions and long lead times, it’s especially important to run a jobsite as efficiently as possible. Purpose-built construction software allows you to meet this efficiency goal. It gives you the tools to build powerful, repeatable site logistics for your organisation.
The key to better site logistics
From the beginning to end of a job, a purpose-built platform delivers functions that you can’t get from general-purpose planning software.
Our construction software delivers three key features:
- Collaboration
With digital site plans, it’s easy to make updates and share the latest, live version of the document with every relevant collaborator, stakeholder and contractor. - Custom tool sets
Incorporate standard markers for objects such as fences, vehicles and paths, which help site logistics come together quickly while maintaining perfect accuracy. - Compatability
Out-of-the-box compatibility with architectural drawings, drone photography and more. Everything is stored in a centralised, easy-to-read form to remove confusion and guesswork from everyday operations.
Getting Started with Improved Site Logistics
It’s simple to start implementing new technology and upgrading your site logistics.
A good first step is to identify key safety and logistical items that may not be in your current logistics plans. In an ideal world, what would your site logistics approach look like?
Begin making technology upgrades to address any gaps in your current planning process, but remember that you don’t have to do everything at once. With your new technology and tools in place, you can gradually iterate and adjust your site logistics plans until they’re fully brought to life.
