Field-to-office lag
The interval between an event and the office knowing — the single most expensive number on a project.
A variation raised on site should appear against the affected phase and its cost impact the same morning — not in a monthly report written after the concrete has gone in.
One record, shared by contractors, architects and owners.
Documents, drawings, forms, photographs and cost against the same work — from site to office, the same morning.
Select one for how it is prevented, on site as well as in the office.
The most expensive recurring error on a project, and one no contingency line predicts. Revision control means the current drawing is a fact rather than the outcome of a phone call.
By which time the concrete has gone in. Digital forms and photography captured against the drawing close the gap to the same day, including where connectivity on site is poor.
Financial position tracked on the same record as the work that caused it, so the cost of a variation is visible when it is raised rather than at the next valuation.
Contractors, architects, consultants and owners work in the same project with role-appropriate permissions. A record only one party maintains is that party's version of events.
The most expensive recurring error on a project, and one no contingency line predicts. Revision control means the current drawing is a fact rather than the outcome of a phone call.
If none of these are true we are probably not the right call yet, and we will say so. The tools it runs across today, and the last time somebody built the wrong thing from a superseded drawing. Walk us through that on a call — nothing has to be sent over for the conversation to be useful.
