General Contractors
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 and aggressive 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.
Prime contractors take accountability for the complete job working for owners to
construct an asset based on an awarded bid (tender). Although Contractors perform
some parts of the project with their own teams; they often subcontract a portion
of the work to other construction firms or specialty contractors.
Challenges:
- Inaccurate estimates during the bidding process affects profitability.
- Capturing data from the field is error prone and cumbersome.
- Managing a constantly changing labor force is difficult.
- No immediate access to project cost and timeline data.
- Manual change order processes are time consuming and cause project delays.
- Inability to manage sub-contractors reduces visibility to project status.
