The real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of $1 trillion by 2030 and contribute to 13% of the country’s GDP by 2025. This inevitably puts one of the biggest wings of the sector Construction Management to the frontline of shouldering a task of efficient constructions and seamless completion of projects. Due to the emergence of blockchain and AI almost 65% of the tasks are becoming automated across various industries. The manual way of doing things and keeping track of everything via physical documents is a thing of the past. Use of construction management software can enable smooth functioning of projects, quality and timely completion. Here are some of the benefits that one can get through Construction Management Software.

Makes Management of Tasks Easier: Post pandemic the virtual ecosystems across the world are relying more on automation, apps and platforms to make the management of tasks easier. Construction in India can pick up the same speed if a construction software becomes an everyday partner and manager for creation of tasks and task logs.

Document Integration: Having project documents in one place than in various platforms helps in sense making, personal organisation and direction of the project. Files rendered from architecture software like AutoCAD or Grasshopper can all be saved in one place saving site engineers a lot of time to go back to their systems and see a file or take printouts. Images from location recce, 3D projection images, work in progress images can all be in one place. All of this is enabled by construction software.

Budgeting Gets Easier: Logistics is one of the most crucial aspects of construction projects. Meetings between site engineers and site management teams cover all aspects of budgeting. Allocation and modifications of budgets from time to time cannot be a slow process. Construction software can become the most efficient tool to get the job done.

Generate DPR/WPR: From project background and project brief to safety issues, design and statistics having detailed project reports is one of the essentials of any construction project. The biggest construction projects made in India create DPRs with no integrated platforms to manage the information or generate the report. Construction software can not only come to the rescue but produce excellent DPR and WPR.

Attendance at One Place: Gone are the days of early morning conference room meetings except absolutely necessary. Anyone, anytime, anywhere can login and have their attendance for team meetings on a daily basis. The novelty of a construction app is that it becomes the project monitor giving everyone a virtual space to meet, saving the time and money required to attend a meeting.

Team at One Place: Assigning tasks to the site engineering team, interns, interior designers, project supervisors, project managers and consultants becomes easier and above all the transparency of communication is maintained. Teamwork is better than working in silos and a construction app can enable the project line up to achieve this effortlessly.

Construction will pervade every sphere of life in the new decade to transform challenges and limitations into opportunities. Be it for the construction of theme park or education centre or workation hill station or a global hub for ayurvedic medicine, construction apps will create team dynamics that would make projects smarter.
