Solving Real Problems for the Ever-changing Construction Industry

These days, ideas are easy to come by. The value of an idea, however, lies in using it for the greater good.

Blazing a new trail: The VisiLean Story

The construction industry is evolving and VisiLean has been playing a significant role in bringing about this change.

Changing construction process management, one project at a time: How it all began

We live in a world where digitalisation is the buzzword. While most of the other sectors embraced it quickly, the construction industry has so far remained an industry characterised by manual processes and traditional methods.

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.

BIM-based PMC Driving Infrastructure Development – A Case Study

Multi Media Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad has been awarded the work of Project Management Consultancy for Mummadpura Flyover Project by Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), with Ranjit Buildcon as the General Contractor.

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.

The Digital Revival of Construction – Upcoming Industry Trends

Going digital doesn’t necessarily mean your project site will be full of flying drones and robots walking around. In all probability, most sites will still look very much the same from the outside, as today
What will change with digitalisation, however, is the way information is transmitted across your teams, and how you use that to plan, monitor, and deliver your project!

Enabling True Collaboration with VisiLean

Construction projects comprise of many stakeholders; from Clients who initiate the project and define the requirement, 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.

Managing Constraints, rather than Problems (Proactive vs Reactive approach)

Anyone who has worked on a construction project knows about the constant “fire fighting” the team has to put up with. Every day brings new challenges posed through uncertainty that has seemingly emerged out of nowhere.

Digitalisation: 5 Key factors for transforming project delivery

With everyone emphasising on the importance of digitalisation today, are we really sure of what it entails to successfully transition into a digital mode of construction project delivery?

Interactive Dashboard Drilldowns

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
