Are you ready to be accelerated by IT instead of slowed down?
In your industry, you design, construct and maintain buildings or infrastructure.The value of projects are massive, but margins are small. Do you want to maintain your profit margins, or even improve them? The key is to manage your projects from start to finish and optimize your processes. IT can help you achieve this. However, if improperly managed you’ll only encounter minor improvements or, even worse, you risk being slowed down.

About how we helped more than 50 clients over the last 20 years achieve a cost edge, by creating a future-proof IT organization that resulted in acceleration and competitive advantages.
The construction industry is as competitive as ever
IT acceleration can only be achieved if you have the right foundation in place. Like construction, foundation is key for the later construction phases. Without a foundation, the process is slow, unresponsive to changes throughout the build, and prone to numerous risks. Even worse is the possibility of not completing the project at all. The tools you utilize need to be the right ones to achieve success.
Alongside the foundation, your employees need the right tools and an understanding of how to use them. With over20 years of experience, we have been helping companies implement these three core elements to create acceleration with IT.
We help you to make your future happen!
IT acceleration can only be achieved if you have the proper foundation. Like construction, the foundation is key for the later construction phases. If this isn’t done right, the realization will be slowed down. Or even worse, you will not be able to complete the construction project.
Nowadays, a construction company doesn’t only build. With the constantly changing regulations, health and safety standards, sustainability goals, and quality control, you must prevent spending too much time on these activities. ith the tight labor market and expensive labor costs, it’s even more important to spend less time on supporting activities, and building. Ultimately, you’re being paid for building something, not administration services. Therefore performing these activities in less time is crucial to realizing a cost edge.
Secondly, the construction market is constantly evolving. With the recent COVID pandemic, technology has become even more prominent in the industry. Technology can be of great help in forecasting projects, supply chain issues and integration within the construction site, like BIM. One of the challenges with the amount of technology is how you can add value over the entire supply chain. On average, companies use more than 100+ software programs. Most of them have great advantages individually, but combining and integration can be hard. Secondly, every organization is different and, therefore, has different processes. Using software that is used by multiple companies never really fits and supportive processes, excels and complex approval flows are added. As a construction company you want to build, you don’t want to manage multiple applications. You need a solution that can adjust to your needs,and can evolve over time.
Future proof your IT
Without technology, you can’t make a difference in any industry nowadays. In all aspects of business, technology is involved. Client-facing, operational, finance, HR, design and so on. Therefore, you must set up your IT to be future-proof. Over the last five years, the number of software applications being used within business has doubled. Secondly, the behavior of employees and customers changed. They are accustomed to systems and expect businesses to readily adjust change to meet their requests.
Therefore, you must have the proper foundation to meet the constantly changing needs of clients and employees.
Create a cost advantage with IT
In the fast-paced and competitive construction industry, finding ways to do more with the same workforce is crucial for success. The projects are massive, but margins are small, so it’s essential to improve your effectiveness, which will result in bigger margins constantly.
