One of the many metrics of success for General Contractors is when projects are completed, on time, on budget, and workers are safe. Across any given General Contractors’ (GCs’) portfolio, it can be challenging to see if this is happening across multiple projects in multiple regions. Field Control Analytics’ (FCA) Access Control platform addresses this portfolio management complexity by providing a comprehensive, multi-project view, enabling preconstruction, project, and safety executives to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Preconstruction Executives: Data-Drive Workforce Planning
For preconstruction executives, FCA's platform provides actionable insights by leveraging data across various projects and trades. This data enables executives to:
- Understand Workforce Efficiency: Analyze hours worked by trade and project type to determine optimal workforce allocation for future builds.
- Improve Logistics Planning: Use workforce efficiency data to predict labor needs and streamline the logistics of project builds, ensuring the right resources are in the right place at the right time.
- Identify Trends Across Projects: Spot patterns in workforce performance to adjust schedules and budgets proactively.
By accessing real-time data across multiple projects, preconstruction executives can reduce inefficiencies, saving time and resources during the project planning phase.
Project Executives: Building Stronger Teams
Project executives benefit from FCA’s centralized worker profiles, which consolidate vital information across all projects under the GC account. These insights allow them to:
- Assess Workforce History: Review which workers have participated in multiple projects, their total hours worked, and performance records, including any safety observations or warnings.
- Build High-Performing Teams: Use the historical worker data to look at multiple worker profiles and understand what worker has been on multiple projects, and has had no observances and always meets safety and worksite requirements.
- Simplify Onboarding: Reassigning workers who have worked on past projects to new projects is as simple as clicking “accept.” This eliminates repetitive administrative tasks and expediting project startup.
Safety Executives: Ensuring Compliance Across Sites
Safety executives face the critical task of maintaining safety standards and certifications across multiple projects. FCA’s platform enables them to:
- Track Safety Observations: Monitor the types of observations being made across various sites to identify trends and address recurring issues.
- Ensure Certification Compliance: Verify that workers’ certifications are up to date, reducing liability and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Enforce Safety Standards: Use insights from multiple sites to confirm that safety requirements are being consistently met and address any gaps proactively.
Conclusion
Field Control Analytics’ Access Control Platform provides preconstruction, project, and safety executives with the data and tools to transform how they manage construction projects. By connecting workforce data across multiple sites, FCA enables:
- Better workforce planning and logistics for preconstruction executives.
- Smarter team-building decisions for project executives.
- Enhanced safety oversight and compliance for safety executives.
With FCA, GCs can reduce inefficiencies, improve safety, and deliver better outcomes for every project.
