Building Construction Management
Dave runs a busy construction company undertaking several large building projects at any given time. As the principle contractor on most of these projects, Dave has to manage not only his own employees, but organise and manage sub-contractors for various trades, such as electricians, plumbers and tilers.
Added to this stress, Dave also has to make sure that at the end of the day the projects stay on budget or his profit margin plummets.
In the past he has used a variety of methods, such as manually filing quotes and invoices from subbies as well as maintaining large and cumbersome spreadsheets to track costs. With the ever increasing number of projects Dave’s firm is winning, this method is requiring more and more admin work and each night Dave is left wondering just how long it will be before one the projects blows out in a big way.
Solution:
Install the easy to use EziBusiness and utilise the wide range of Job and Project management tools, which enables Dave to track and monitor any number of projects and the various stages involved to successfully complete the job.
EziBusiness’s Project Management features let Dave split even the largest building project into numerous parts, so he can store information about the electrical or plumbing components separately.
Since each trade can be assigned its own part of the project, Dave is able to keep track of the quotes and purchase invoices coming in from his subbies, and also any invoices he sends to his clients. This helps him monitor the budget figures and make sure there are no nasty surprises around the corner.
Finalising the entire project is also easier, as all the purchase invoices, quotes and orders can be seen from the easy-to-use Jobs screen. This enables Dave to see the overall costs of any project and to monitor payments he receives from the client.
