One key way is to streamline your processes through digitalization. That will empower engineers to focus on innovation, avoid production errors, and deliver on time— improving your customer loyalty as well as your bottom line.

Three steps to more effective project execution The demand for new buildings—and the customized products for them—is at an all-time high. How do you meet this demand?

First, it’s essential to improve collaboration between the different functions of your business. To do this, you’ll need a cloud-based platform to help you optimize your workflows. This platform will enable you to complete projects on time and on budget by:

Establish your data foundation

Giving teams, functions and departments instant access to up-to-date engineering data and project information.

Connecting data with people and processes, so both internal and external stakeholders have a single source of truth to collaborate from.

Allowing everyone involved to stop wasting time looking for information or sifting through duplicate documents.

of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies say their building product manufacturers are increasingly collaborative suppliers, providing some custom solutions, and are increasingly familiar with their digital tools.1

The next step is to streamline your processes so your teams can manage project complexity in the most efficient way.

Develop standardized digitalized workflows using your platform. Start small with simple processes and scale up by continually adding processes and improving them.

Encourage your teams to use the platform in their everyday work. This will enable them to communicate and collaborate more effectively.

You can support your team through these changes by making sure they are fully briefed, identifying areas where upskilling may be required, tracking progress, and re-assessing your plan as you go.

3 Reduce errors and rework The later errors are discovered, the more expensive it becomes to fix them. That’s why you need to enable your teams to identify and correct errors as early as possible by:

Digitally prototyping designs or using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to reduce planning errors and improve collaboration.

Bringing all disciplines together in a coordination model. This can help you to identify and resolve clashes as early as possible.

Encouraging employees on the construction site to report issues as early as possible. The platform connects both construction and office-based teams in real time, so reported issues can be solved quickly.

Case study: PohlCon

Make data silos a thing of the past: crucial, considering the company offers more than 20,000 products via its JORDAHL brand alone.

Provide customers with added value by showing them what each product could look like in a 3D showroom, then letting them download the BIM data in a few clicks.

Make changes to products faster, as PohlCon’s teams no longer have to do time-consuming manual research, and digital component lists can be filtered in just a few steps.

Ensure products can be installed without errors, as the team can easily use their digital component lists to filter products by length. This allows them to perform clash detection in 3D, before going on-site.
