Construction Viz Takes the Risk Out of Risk Management

by Leave a Comment

From initiation through to project closeout, construction projects are subject to an endless array of risks. The Construction Viz Risk app helps you identify, manage, and plan for the factors that can negatively or positively impact your project's cost and schedule. 

Many construction organizations turn to Microsoft Excel as their risk management solution, using built-in risk registers and distributing spreadsheets via email to project teams. There are many shortcomings to this approach, including having multiple versions of files floating around, undocumented review processes, the inability to attach backup information, and a lack of mitigation processes. We've been in your shoes on projects, which is why we designed our Construction Viz Risk app to be a better long-term risk management solution.

Key features of the Construction Viz Risk app

The Construction Viz Risk app addresses all the shortfalls found in homegrown Excel and enterprise risk management solutions:

  • Set individual risk probabilities and impacts by the project within a single site.  Construction Viz can include one or more projects per SharePoint site.  Since every project can have a different set of risk factors, the Construction Viz Risk app allows you to set unique cost and schedule impact values, each with its own legend, by the project.  This feature enables you to consolidate risk management into a single site across your portfolio of projects.
  • Mobile ready. Our form technology works on any device with a modern browser. You can capture a risk on your phone while in a meeting or out in the field.  You can even enter a risk without an internet connection.
  • Track changes. The app features revision control, allowing you to create and manage multiple versions of your risk forms and track any edits by users.
  • Upload supporting documentation. Easily attach supporting information, including links to other forms and data repositories.
  • Get approvals. Route risks for review and approval via automated Power Automate or ad hoc workflows with ball-in-court tracking
  • Send to distribution. Email risks to your project team based on predefined distributions while enforcing strict permission controls.
  • Perform analysis. Perform risk analysis using configurable data grids. Create custom views for managing risks by value, ownership, status, or mitigation.
  • Communicate risks. Generate robust reports of risks and opportunities for management review and disposition.

Manage Work Orders for Projects of Any Size with Construction Viz

by Leave a Comment

Whether you are managing a project or program, Construction Viz gives you everything you need to manage work orders with complete visibility into each step and robust reporting. Our Work Order app also integrates with our other construction project management apps, including Construction Viz Scheduler, Planner, Project Tracker, and our full lineup of Form apps. 

Projects come in all shapes and sizes. Some can cost thousands and be completed in hours while others could cost millions and take years to complete. How organizations label projects can vary as well. Some organizations call everything with a clearly defined scope, schedule, and budget a project. Others call projects consisting of multiple work orders, each with scope, schedule, and budget, a program.

While the labels can vary, as a project manager, you don’t want to use two completely different systems and sets of processes, one for projects and one for programs, when all you are trying to do is create a simple RFI. You and your team need visibility to your entire project portfolio in an easy-to-use system, whether it falls within construction or even facilities management.

Construction Viz Helps You Manage Projects of Any Size

 

 

With  Construction Viz, not only did we address the standard construction project requirements needed to manage a project successfully, but we also included the ability to manage programs using our integrated Work Order app.

Using the Construction Viz Work Order app, you can manage the entire process from a client service request through work order completion.  If you are taking a comprehensive approach to work order management, the process starts within the Construction Viz Service Request app to capture high-level details for the required service, including an anticipated scope and the target completion date.  Once a service request is approved, Construction Viz makes it easy for you to create one or more work orders directly from the request form, keeping all of your program and project information linked for easy review and reporting.

The Work Order app captures definitive scope, estimated cost, and forecasted schedule completion.  The app enables you to manage every step as well as each party with robust reporting and interactive ball-in-court dashboards.

Take Charge of Your Projects with Construction Viz

Construction Viz goes way beyond work order management. All of the Construction Viz apps integrate with one another. Our Scheduler, Planner,  Project Tracker, and our full lineup of Form apps, including Requests for Information (RFI), Submittal, Transmittal, and more, can be linked to a single work order, providing you and your team visibility to your entire portfolio.

Stop using multiple systems to manage your projects. No matter what size project you are managing, we've got you covered. To find out more, request a free consultation.
