No one would ever claim that construction management is an easy job, but there’s no reason to make a tough job harder! Lighten your load with STACK.
From material shortages to fluctuating prices to weather delays, there’s enough to keep you up at night. Here are 5 ways STACK’s Construction Management tools will transform your workflow and make your job easier.
1. Detailed, Custom Organization Across Tasks
Our Document Library ensures you’ll never lose track of important plans, specs, or any other required documents again. Organize in folder structures unique to you, and view items as a list, in thumbnails, or in Kanban boards.
And quick viewing isn’t the only perk to STACK’s document management system. Open plans, create annotations, and receive change notifications for an added level of project context. You can also link tasks and equipment to a document, make notes, and view a full history log of changes, which can be a handy risk mitigation strategy in case of litigation.
2. Simple & Advanced Workflows
Workflows should work the way YOU want, and with STACK, they do. For simple processes, use Kanban workflows to indicate approval. For more complex processes like submittals, use advanced, customizable workflows.
You have the power to define various activities that must take place within the workflow, who is responsible for what, weighting the task, and setting the duration. Define transitions, approval & rejection cycles, and add requirements to tasks, like adding a photo before approval or a comment before rejecting. Then you can rely on STACK to take care of notifications and tracking.
3. Daily Reports
STACK’s daily report functionality steps you through the process and reduces report time from an hour or more to less than 5 minutes. Reports automatically populate weather, and it’s easy to add equipment, site visitors, incidents, deliveries, and more.
Use the report to create issues and queries as well, keeping track of each one created that day, and automatically add to the report along with attachments and progress photos time stamped during that particular day.
4. Planner
With the Planner, you get insight into not only what’s happening on a specific project, but on all of your jobs. Schedule out your equipment and workforce across multiple projects so you can track where and when items and people are needed. Identify the activity, estimate start and finish time, and define any predecessors or successors. Creating these relationships lets your team know exactly who and what they are waiting for to get started on a task, as well as who else is waiting for them to finish up.
5. Dashboard
The Dashboard offers instant visibility for project teams. You can see how all your information is brought in to identify where you are in the overall project with 4 tiers of data: statuses of documents, issues, queries, and equipment.
With this at-a-glance view into how the project is currently going, you can make more informed decisions. Browser and mobile views make it incredibly powerful for field-centric activities like punch list items and photos as well.
