Enabling True Collaboration with VisiLean

Construction projects comprise of many stakeholders; from Clients who initiate the project and define the requirements, to Architects and Designers who give this vision a form, to finally all the expert Consultants and Contractors who help in the physical realisation of this vision. Construction management planning in a collaborative manner is a challenge to the majority of professionals.

At VisiLean, we strive towards simplifying the construction management process and workflows – removing complications and hurdles that disrupt the flow of information and improving the communication between all stakeholders of the projects. With this, it is essential to have all the stakeholders on a common platform, rather than being updated through multiple channels.

But this is just the beginning. Having all stakeholders on one platform should be beneficial to each of their individual requirements, rather than a forced fit. This implies that individual workflows should be catered to, while also allowing for an overall workflow at the project level to operate.

Keeping this in mind, VisiLean offers some systematic tools, aligned with proven Lean processes to ensure that all your teams can truly collaborate on one single platform.

All Teams on one Platform

With VisiLean, you can create multiple organisations, or simply, Teams, as per your choice and project workflow. This gives you the power to categorise and filter planning, monitoring, as well as performance review accordingly. You could have your Designers and Consultants added to the platform, along with your execution teams, for seamless communication.

VisiLean for Production Planning and Management

At its core, VisiLean is designed to address the core building blocks of any project, i.e. production planning and monitoring. Dedicated to addressing the fundamentals of construction management, VisiLean equips execution teams with the right set of tools and workflows to plan collaboratively, provide progress updates with ease, and monitor the progress in real-time through a visually powerful communication platform.

VisiLean for Design Workflows

Design is considered an integral part of the production, and to ensure the requirements of Design teams are met, tasks related to design, drawings, BIM modeling, and related deliverables as dedicated Design Tasks are supported on VisiLean. In this way, you can cater to complete design workflows for your teams to coordinate internally.

Further, the system offers a dedicated BIM viewer for design teams to collaborate with execution teams over project visualisation. This allows for the integration of design and execution on a single system, ensuring clarity in terms of addressing the prerequisites to Tasks that need to be executed on-site.

VisiLean for Performance Review

Every element of the system has been designed to offer clear filtered data, highlighting critical information that you require to improve your project performance and address the pain points. Further, to minimise waste in terms of data feeding and manual updates, the system offers a platform to review project updates in real time. This allows Clients and other Project Management Consultants to be added to the project to easily review the project status, without having to wait for the next email from the site.

Seamless Communication

With dedicated sections for Notes and Files, teams can easily communicate on VisiLean. With the power to attach files, drawings, and pictures, as well as sending dedicated notes with the capability to tag users, your teams can skip communication through various other platforms that cannot be formally documented or even retrieved at a later stage. With VisiLean, all this transfer of information is recorded at one single location, directly linked to the Task being addressed.

Picture this; you have a Task under execution that the team on-site has just realised is showing inaccurate dimensions in the drawing. The last planner can simply send a note to the respective package manager and Tag the relevant member from the Design team as well, for further action on this matter. With VisiLean, you truly have uninterrupted access and seamless flow of information across your project team.

Access Control

With all this information on one system, you might wonder how one would control the access amongst all the teams. Of course, we understand and respect that certain information has to be controlled. Various user roles are available on the system to clearly define access control on VisiLean.

True Collaboration

With true collaboration and clear performance review, teams can easily come together to focus on corrective action towards continuous improvement, rather than wasting critical time in manual information flow, data feeding, and reporting. True collaboration enables proactive actions that help you to complete your project on time rather than reactive firefighting.

Review Excellent - as well as the product, the customer support has been fantastic. ☺Ease of use, potential for it to be a single source of data, phone app. ☹Like to be able to scroll left to right between weeks in scheduler view and the location stays in the same place. Would like to be able to scroll 1 week at a time in phase view. Constraints to be tracked, and identify by associated trade. Unable to "commit" a task for the next week.

Visilean Review Good ☺Visilean is a very good software for collaborative efforts with a dedicated team working on a tight schedule ☹Offline facility not available. It should be incorporated.

Visilean is the future of construction... ☺Real time updates of the project - Ease of giving updates strait from job site. Mobility of apps and Great customer support and system on-boarding. ☹I don't really have much negative to say, every time we come up with something to improve the system it doesn't talk long and its part of a system update. They are working every day to improve the system.

Why should you go with the software Software has a lot of significance in improving a projects performance. My overall experience was really great and the team is really supportive. ☺BIMLean Integration works out easy with the software. It supports LPS of Lean Process. Model and Schedule can directly be imported and linked in the software itself. 4D simulation can be viewed in the software with a proper colour wheel assigned to it defining the work status. Work commitment, collaborative planning, communication and workflow are improved using the software, which helps improve project performance. Different projects constraints such as: space planning, resource planning, equipment positioning, etc. are easily identified. Software summaries the project status with PPC tracking of WWP, reason of variance mapping, constraint summary and generates progress reports with all documents submitted per activity (RFI, Quality Report, Site Photograph, etc.) in one place. It compares the planned v/s actual work at site with visual view addition. It is a handy software and is easy to use with easily accessible data. Software also has a mobile version, helping the data to be tracked from anywhere possible. ☹Overall the software is really great but some points from a designer's perspective could be added into the same.

The Future of Built Environment Good ☺3D BIM, 4D Simulation, Value Engineering, Waste Reduction ☹Everything is okay in the cloud and app system. But what if the project is in a remote location. Network Connectivity for real-time updates is an issue. They should build an offline version of the app.

A game changer for real estate projects The experience with VisiLean has been very satisfactory ☺We have been more inclined towards using the mobile app. Using the mobile app is very much convenient on an every day basis. Most importantly the Quality Approval workflow is very seamless. We can convey our work completion by clicking just one button on the mobile app and the Sr. Engineers get notified about the same. When it comes to the Software, it is cloud based and this helps us to access the Software as well. It is just like accessing facebook; you go to the VisiLean website, provide your credentials and boom; you have all your projects with you. The Gantt view in the Software helps us to create our schedules and also import our schedules created on Microsoft excels. ☹Not much cons that our company can think of, but yes; on some instances, when we work in basements where the network connectivity is an issue; it is not possible to provide the updates from mobile app. We have conveyed this to their support team (which is very friendly btw) and they have already committed to deliver it soon.

Visilean review - Best custom service i have ever experienced. - Visilean wants feedback and really listen to it. I am very convinced that Visilean wants to be developed and contiune to improve, and they show it. Ideas and user friendly tips i give in feedback often is implemented in the near future. ☺- Live update on phones. - Low time spent on documenting activities that goes according to planned. - That you make each subcontractor "more" responsible when they need to accept each activities 6-8 weeks before start by making it "ready". ☹- No view to gives you the full overview of the long term plan. (like 12 months ahead). - Todays use of colors. Ready state is good for the planner only, but during planning meeting with all contractors, look
