Why use an application or software to manage and monitor a job site?

In all construction projects (single-family homes, multi-family buildings, civil engineering structures, etc.), site management and monitoring require the coordination of a number of participants and resources, to ensure that the actual progress of the works respects the construction schedule, and that the cost of carrying out the work does not call into question the initial estimate.

At each stage of the project, site supervision requires the project manager, or any designated contractor, to organize site visits to check that the construction work is being carried out in line with project requirements, particularly in terms of the quality of workmanship and site safety. These visits are formalized by the project manager during site meetings, to synchronize the tasks and work of the various contractors and, where necessary, to manage differences between the parties involved.

Whether it’s a question of reviewing the progress of a particular job or task with a company, or of convening all the parties involved on the site (owner, project manager, construction companies, customers, etc.) to discuss issues that may impact on the work schedule, as well as the acceptance and delivery of the project, planning and managing meetings, as well as tracking and providing the various information, documents, plans, photos and reports required, can be a complex task.

In some cases, solutions or software such as Excel are used to manage and monitor these meetings, but in the field, the functionalities offered by these software tools often prove unsuited to the reality of the construction site and project.

The solution implemented with WCS Field Service software facilitates worksite monitoring, thanks to the implementation of numerous functions that simplify the management of site visits and meetings.
