Project Challenges
Managing Resources Across Multiple Projects to Eliminate Downtime
Managing multiple projects efficiently while adhering to tight schedules and budgets posed a significant challenge for Grace Construction. Project managers often faced difficulties in resource allocation, frequency of site visits, and communication. Effective daily communication was essential but often disrupted by a lack of integrated platform and real-time technologies, causing potential downtime, miscommunication, and additional stress for project teams.
Additionally, unforeseen issues such as weather disruptions and disputes required detailed documentation and evidence to ensure fair resolutions. Subcontractor relationships were impacted by delays and payment disputes, jeopardizing trust and collaboration. Grace Construction needed a solution to improve visibility, streamline communication, and enhance project management.
