Yes — every day, collaborative construction management systems are accelerating project delivery and helping contractors work more efficiently while minimizing the risks they face. Having a centralized system that connects the design and construction teams to the accurate, up-to-date data they need throughout the lifecycle of the project not only fosters communication, but it also helps identify potential problems and eliminate mistakes, thus potentially increasing profitability. In traditional construction projects, encountering problems in the field can result in weeks of downtime for contractors as engineers and designers work out a solution. With collaborative technologies, conflicts between systems can be identified in pre-construction meetings, and if problems arise in the construction phase, they can be resolved quickly; in many cases, the trades can get their call to action in the same day the problem is identified.
