So, you鈥檙e in Project Management for the construction industry, the world's largest sector building tomorrow!
...yet every week you face a nightmare of tangled tracking spreadsheets, boring word processed reports and dull meeting slides. Why do we put up with this? These tasks add no meaningful value to the constructed asset?
鈥
Nevertheless, you push on over days and sometimes weeks, back and forth between your spreadsheet tabs. You hope to quickly get this approval out, or patch together this month's report and be done with it.
It sucks, it鈥檚 tedious, it鈥檚 time-consuming, and worst of all, it slows us toward the ultimate goal - getting the project done better, faster and cheaper.
I, Doug,聽lived this frustration as a Project & Program Manager 馃槓
Together with co-founders Jamie & Raman, we continued to discover first-hand how these spreadsheets and reports, vital for construction project tracking and decision-making, were nothing short of a insanity.
Hours are wasted, projects slow down, money is squandered, and opportunities are missed because of slow, ineffective, terrible reporting processes held up by 10 zillion spreadsheets.
The real result of this mess?
鉂 People鈥檚 lives get stuck in endless loops of data entry, admin and cross-referencing, thinking 鈥榯his is the job鈥. It even has a name - Project Controls, Project Administrator, Cost聽Controller etc..
鈥
鉂 Reports are outdated the moment they鈥檙e finished and raise more questions than answer for decision makers, who ask; 鈥wait, so, what鈥檚 changed since last month?鈥. That's if they even read it.
The harsh reality is this 鈥榦ld way鈥 is super dumb, broken, and not something the construction industry needs if we're going to improve together 馃憤
