Risks on projects come from every angle. Identifying and mitigating risks before they become an issue can help everything move smoothly through project execution. Most job site risks can be categorized into four categories; safety, schedule, cost, and quality. Predicting leading causes of incidents likely to occur can be accomplished with risk management processes implemented through construction time tracking software.
Prevent Job Site Risks with New Construction Technology
Three major liabilities and risks busybusy can help mitigate:
Schedule – Schedules can slip easily when not watched closely. Contractors and project managers need to find a construction software that has a scheduled functionality that makes it easy for your employees and office staff to both have visibility to what needs to be done and the timeline expected. Additionally, photo documentation added daily by each employee that allows visibility on the progress day to day would help the schedule be more comprehensive.
When looking for an integrated schedule application, look for construction software that puts an employee on the right job site, but also provides allocation of their time directly from their schedule. Clocking in is more organized and beneficial when the employee schedule is programmed with the correct project and cost code, eliminating the need to search and select the right project in a potentially long list.
Budget – Between tracking time for various activities and the associated cost codes, to acceptance of time daily, time is always accurate and labor law compliant before making it to the next pay cycle. Having this level of accuracy keeps budget tracking up to date and tracks against estimates. To make it even easier, why not find a construction technology that allows you to put a budget of hours and labor costs before the project starts so that you can track time during the project instead of finding out when the project is over that you missed your bid?
Very few construction companies have dedicated technology budgets, often passing expenses on to their clients, and drastically limiting their ability to implement new features. Small budgets for innovation means there needs to be a huge impact for little cost and even bigger ease of use for full adoption across the board. We have the solution that fits your budget and is well worth the investment with great return on investment.
Safety – The end of day safety questionnaire asks each employee to document if they had injuries that day, or confirm they had none. Through the end of day confirmation that no injuries occurred each day, it prevents false or delayed injury reporting. A non-injury report is something every contractor should do to protect them, however it’s a new feature construction software companies are beginning to offer, so look high and low to ensure your software gives you additional protection from delayed injury reports.
Above all other risks, the safety of your people is most important. While so many mitigation and prevention strategies are rooted in tracking and trending, integrating risk management into your time tracking app helps not only improve schedule and budget but safety as well.
Safety incidents on a job site create liabilities associated with insurance, impact schedule, increase TRIR, and can even impact budget as a secondary result. How can your time tracking app help limit these liabilities and reduce risks? Optimizing your Construction Daily Reports.
Paper-Free Construction Reporting to Reduce Liability
With the added features integrated into a good construction daily report, you have much more than the weather and contractor scope listed. You now have input from each contractor or employee using the construction app. By requiring employees to document photos of daily work, answer safety questions, and sign off on daily time, the improvements pay for themselves.
Reducing risks through daily time tracking across your teams shouldn’t be a hassle. Test out busybusy on your next project, accessing simple time tracking software with photo documentation for daily progress and daily injury affirmations to record injuries when they do and don’t occur.
We strive to make your projects more efficient. Easy to implement and use construction software that’s intuitive to use is what busybusy believes in. Test it out for 90 days, with a 100% money-back guarantee.
