The Top 10 Criteria for Choosing the Best Construction Management Software

Construction management is a daunting process. The timelines, budgets, scheduling, communication, decision-making, analytics, various stakeholders; there are quite a lot of things that have to be managed effectively for the successful completion of a project.

Real-time 4D BIM Visualisation to enable production planning and control

The adoption of BIM in the construction industry has been evidently documented for its successes in enabling lean outcomes and efficiency across projects.

Decoding the ‘Lean’ in Production Management

The VisiLean team actively participated at the ILCC 2021 Conference held at CEPT University, Ahmedabad, during the first week of December.

Implenia – VisiLean – Press release

Construction has greatly evolved over the last couple of decades. Projects are more complex than ever before, with teams pushing the boundaries of design and engineering with each new endeavour.

Why we can’t seem to deploy BIM for Execution

If you check the NBS BIM Report, 2020, you will come across a very interesting statistic – “BIM awareness and ‘use’ 2011 vs 2020”.

Will 2021 mark the beginning of the decade for massive digitalisation in Construction?

The end of the last decade left the whole world with scars we are still recovering from. Amongst all affected, the AEC industry has taken a huge hit from the global pandemic, with projects across the globe still struggling to see a significant scope of revival.

It is time to go beyond BIM

Not knowing how to effectively adopt BIM for construction project management has led to ad-hoc implementation across organisations.

Visilean complements its service and technology offering with Aiforsite

Helsinki, Finland – VisiLean Oy and Aiforsite have entered into an agreement to provide a rich construction management solution for construction sites.

Lean 4D with VisiLean

Lean 4D is an extension of 3D with the time included in addition to the other three dimensions. Our Lean 4D helps all the project participants including the architects, contractors and the owners to visualise the complete process of construction and understand the progress of activities throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Model Driven Linking

VisiLean is a web based production management system that provides a unique “Web 4D” feature. To enable the model linking with the plan, the users had to manually link each element with the task in the earlier version. With our newly released feature, now the model linking is faster and easier.

Self Registration

VisiLean has now opened up its system through self registration and a one month free trial. Anyone interested in improving their construction project’s pe

Top down vs bottom up in planning

Last few years, I have been closely observing the planning, scheduling and execution process on construction and software projects.

Lean & BIM & digitisation in Sweden

The digital revolution is continuing! In Sweden we’re arranging a seminar with insights into the world of Lean + BIM. Join the seminar to be inspired on how to digitize the construction site! The event is hosted by Lean Forum Bygg and BIMformation AB Agenda for Event

VisiLean is pleased to announce “split tasks” – refine master plan tasks

VisiLean now allows automatic task splitting to easily create commitment plans during Last Planner/Collaborative planning sessions.

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.

Graham Construction Very good as I said. It will need to be in bedded more into peoples working habits. ☺Keeps a track of important contractual issues ☹Needs more time to bed into peoples working live's

Great Planning tool ☺The mobile app made it easy to see my tasks only. ☹The web version was a little confusing and hard to navigate for first time users.

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
