Having more than 30 years in the building industry, I'd like to share some key points to assist the homebuilder in re-evaluating their internal procedures and finding the right technology to assist them in preparing for the upturn in the market. These benefits and metrics were realized by many of our builder clients over the past 12 years.
Cycle time reduction, less carrying costs
By lowering your cycle time on each home or project, you reduce your carrying costs which include labor and administration as well as interest on construction loans. Each builder may have different amounts per day in these costs, but it could be anywhere from$100 to $1,000 per day. A solid scheduling system which not only keeps the trades and the superintendents on track, but also does a good job in improving communication is essential in cycle time reduction.
Optimized schedules, less windshield time
By using a scheduling system that integrates with a mobile/browser based application, this will lower the amount of time a superintendent spends driving back and forth between the various job sites to the home office.
Higher margins on current volume
With improving the various processes within a builders office and how they interact with field by implementing a purchase order system คอนโด ราคาถูก that allows for auto payment of the trades upon a scheduling completion task, the builder will immediately see a reduction in staff time chasing down invoices, superintendents and trades. This allows the builder to increase the number of homes they build without increasing staff overhead.
Time reallocation for staff productivity
If the builder does evaluate their purchasing process along with how schedules are met, the builder will see an improvement in staff productivity and a reduction of their time spent doing redundant tasks, which in turn will allow the builder to re-allocate their time to other duties that just seem to never get done.
Growth without added staff
See above
Seamless communication between staff, subs, suppliers, and back office data
Mobile and browser based technology has dramatically improved the way builders run their companies by communicating with their field staff and trades for the following activities:
Bidding and awards Purchasing and approving purchase orders for payment Scheduling and scheduling changes Field generated change orders Warranty requests from the field or the homeowner
By implementing the above strategies, you'll be able to reduce costs during this difficult housing market.
