How does The Build Chain assist Site Managers?

Description:

A Site Manager manages the execution of a range of construction projects from beginning to end. Their duties include adhering to the project's schedule and timeline, delivering the project on time within budget and risk management.

Problems Faced:

Planning and coordinating the project performance and keeping the site running smoothly day to day

Dealing with time constraints, navigating through delays and project targets

Working around supply chain uncertainty

Effectively communicating with different internal departments as well as suppliers

How we Solve those Problems/Our Solution:

The Build Chain platform provides quick and easy access to all procurement information through our enquiry log, site managers can check what products are coming when, from who and how long they will have them for - this keeps them informed and helps to keep their site running smoothly.

Our platform provides the opportunity to maximise the reactivity, stability and flexibility of a contractor's supply chain through sourcing from local suppliers. This reduces the distance in which materials and machinery are transported minimising potential delays, site downtime and keeps projects running in line with targets.

Through using our platform site managers can minimise their exposure to supply chain uncertainty and vulnerability. Increasing supply chain access for site managers offers greater reliability and gives them more control and power to reduce the impact of any project complications.

With the Build Chain platform different departments are better connected as we remove unnecessary touch points which makes communicating and passing information, data and reports between teams much easier. Site managers if they need to can also use the dashboard's live chat feature to directly communicate with the suppliers themselves.
