The theme of this year’s conference is “Fiatech Heat: Innovation that Builds the World, and the conference will focus on solutions in interoperability, people and productivity and technology and innovative advancements.

EADOC customers routinely report significant cost savings on their projects as the result of using our construction management software. From $100,000 in savings on a $13 million pump station and reservoir project, to over $400,000 in savings on a $115 million health care facility expansion, our customers find that the software expense is paid for many times over with project cost savings.

Project teams that go paperless with EADOC realize substantial savings in overhead costs such as printing, shipping and distribution costs for paper documents, and office administration. (They also tell us that document distribution is immediate, communication is improved, and accountability is increased.) These costs savings are coming from existing budgeted costs that are being eliminated or substantially reduced.

Utilizing existing budgets lets managers see the relationship between the cost savings achieved and the technology expense that produced them. The ability of project managers to track application benefits against hard-dollar cost savings on their projects not only allows them to ensure the tools are paying for themselves but also gives them cost savings that can be applied when competing for new projects.

The reality is that, in today’s world, virtually all construction project documents originate electronically, and the mistake was to print them out in the first place, to have to scan them back in for archival at project completion.

Certainly there are some cases where a wet signature on hard copy is still required, but even this is happening less and less, and this situation doesn’t make up the bulk of project documents that, if printed, fill up bankers boxes and collect dust.

Web-based construction management software applications like EADOC’s eliminate the printing and shuffling of paper, and keep documents in electronic form, so they can be transmitted and exchanged swiftly and easily, and, ultimately, archived electronically. With EADOC, there is no need for an expensive archival document imaging step at the end of the project.

Further, EADOC customers save money during the life of the project by eliminating the need to print, ship, copy and distribute paper copies of documents. Less paper shuffling means less administrative overhead as well. We have a client finishing a $115M Hospital project and they are reporting cost savings just from paper costs at over $400,000. These paperless projects not only cost less but they are more environmentally friendly as well.

If you are still scanning project documents for archival purposes, the fix is easy – don’t produce so much paper! Manage your projects electronically, and keep documents in electronic form from origination to archive. Contact us and we’ll explain how you can do it.

Experienced construction managers and contractors know that projects are more successful when the entire team, including the project owner and his or her representatives, are working together in a spirit of co-operation and unity, collaboratively solving problems and tackling issues.

Construction management software is a tool to aid in that process. And everyone, including owners, should get on board. Proactive owners who are engaged in the construction process actively use these project management tools. They provide round-the-clock access to project status and information, from virtually anywhere, and allow the project manager and contractor to easily provide electronic updates to the owner swiftly and efficiently. These tools can also reduce the risk of claims or litigation down the road, which can be costly to all parties.

At EADOC, we see, even in complex projects with multiple “owner” stakeholders, owners successfully using our software to keep engaged with the project team, keep on top of what’s happening with the project, and keep track of the money.

Project owners owe it to themselves to evaluate and purchase project management tools, and ask that the entire team, from architects to engineers, to contractors and subs, use it as well. Software like EADOC’s saves time, saves money, and reduces risk. What owner wouldn’t want to do all three?
