本文是关注其好处的系列文章的一部分, challenges and impact of digital transformation on the construction industry and how companies can embrace change.
The global construction industry has a vast number of technology solutions available for construction activities, 但许多承包商仍在使用传统流程.
根据最近的一份 道奇建筑网络 (避开)调查, only 61% of trade contractors are using either commercially available software or internally developed/modified software to manage their key construction activities (preconstruction, 项目执行, 和性能分析). The remaining contractors are still using manual methods including spreadsheets, 白板, 或印刷纸.
另外, the survey proved that 55% of trade contractors use software for workforce related activities and 63% use software for financial management. 为什么这个行业没有看到更好的技术采用率?
科技太多了
在实现技术时可能会涉及许多挑战, 特别是当需要多种技术工具时. 在道奇调查中, 44% of trade contractors responded that they utilize more than one technology tool but have a primary software they use. Based on the responses of trade contractors that utilize more than one primary tool, 他们面临的五大成本管理挑战包括:
- 在整个审批过程中管理变更单和文件
- 项目期间的状态报告
- 有效整合成本和进度信息
- Tracking costs for every aspect of the job to determine how they impact overall project costs
- 跟踪单位在外地完成的工作
通过利用多种技术来应对挑战, 遵循适当的实施策略以确保成功是很重要的. Best practices for technology implementation include identifying business needs and confirming the technology meets requirements before implementing, developing and following a phased rollout plan that allows for incremental corrections, 参与所有利益相关者的结构化过程, 根据可识别的需求确定成功的度量标准, 并公开地就双方共同理解的目标的进展进行沟通.
重大的资源和能力差距
当涉及到实施施工技术, some of the other main challenges include are resource availability and capability gaps. 前五大挑战包括:
- 需要太多的培训
- 没有时间评估技术选择
- 缺乏实施/管理技术的内部能力
- 来自外地工作人员的阻力
- 缺乏高级管理层的支持.
Persistent labor shortages highlight the strain on resources (time and money) to successfully implement technology, 特别是当它涉及到后台功能时. Training time and change to standard practices may lead to resistance from those on job sites. The combination of these things lead to the perception that there is a lack of time available for organizations to evaluate technology options. However, the upfront ‘investment’ of time to implement technology often equates to efficiencies gained and that time, plus some, 最终得到回报(1).e.(扩大容量).
业主越来越需要使用他们的技术
The Dodge survey revealed that owners are increasingly requiring contractors to use their tech. The most common tool owners require contractors to use is their Project 管理 Information System (PMIS). PMIS is an information system consisting of the tools and techniques used to gather, 集成, 并传播项目管理过程的成果. Per the dodge survey 90% of contractors have been required to use the owners PMIS system on previous jobs. 承包商在使用业主项目管理信息系统时面临的最大风险包括:
- 一般条件成本增加
- 在索赔时缺乏适当的文件
- 缺乏项目绩效信息
- 缺乏项目绩效报告.
While external parties requiring the use of their technology onto contractors can be burdensome, it is inherently providing companies with an opportunity to evaluate their own existing technology and its ability to support their business needs. 在某些方面, it is forcing companies to consider technology adoption at a more rapid pace than they would have without the external nudge.
In our 最后一篇文章 of this series, we will discuss embracing technology in a construction environment.
