Safety measures on the jobsite might be rather unconventional line items to check off on a standard construction punch list, especially since there’s likely a set protocol already in place for tracking these measures. But safety is a 24/7 proposition. So, having an extra set of “eyes” on jobsite hazards can benefit every project — […]
Construction Inspection Software In the wake of multiple, sudden building collapses around the globe, a bright light has been shown on a truth that those of us in construction already knew; how crucial the role of focused construction inspections — before and after structure completion — really are. Though it’s still too early to […]
The goal of every construction inspection is to ensure that nothing compromises the function of the building systems, the integrity of the structure itself, and perhaps most crucially, the safety and well-being of the people who will be using the structure. This applies not just to new builds, but also to alterations and additions. Thorough […]
Building commissioning software turns the process of testing and optimizing equipment and building systems into a digital-based one. Taking the place of paper- and computer spreadsheet-based methods, it’s designed to streamline workflows and introduce efficiencies lacking in these traditional methods. Part of that traditional approach involves starting the commissioning process when the project is near […]
Throughout the span of a construction project, there are various moving parts with numerous individuals involved, and often, things get lost in the shuffle. As a result, deadlines must be pushed out, and budgets are usually exceeded. One of the most efficient ways to track progress is through a tool known as construction punch lists. […]
