Avoiding Cost and Schedule Overruns in Late-Stage Construction

June 20, 2019

As large-scale construction projects, such as power plants, oil and gas facilities, and large manufacturing facilities, close in on completion, getting to the finish line can feel like an obstacle course. Processes continue to become more difficult with growing on-site teams, scope creep and schedule slipping. But to win any race, proper preparation and planning before the start can mean the difference between a strong finish or a disappointing result.

UNPACKING THE BENEFITS OF STRUCTURAL BIM

whitePaper | September 19, 2022

Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is first and foremost a centralized, collaborative process where project stakeholders work together and share information. This allows for better organization of design and construction, with professionals from various disciplines contributing to the process. Naturally, this goes beyond simply sharing a 3D model, as each model contains data that will be useful throughout the project life cycle. Historically however, construction professionals worked in isolation, as the means of communication and technology weren’t as evolved as they are today. Sometimes, for instance, important information on 2D drawings would get lost. Consequently, the design phase was often plagued with fragmented deliverables, miscommunication and limited visualization, which often required rework.

Advanced construction enterprise platform

whitePaper | September 11, 2022

Construction projects often feel like different worlds governed by different rules, flows, regulations, and procedures – but with a single, common goal. The goal is clear but getting there proves much more difficult than it should be. That’s why we decided to sync and empower them to move forward at the same pace right from the start. Constream is a suite of connected modules, where each one is focused on recreating a specific construction management process and serving solutions to day-to-day problems. Our ecosystem is designed with blockchain technology at its core in order to exploit the full potential of decentralization and fragmentation of the construction industry. Why revolutionize something that only needs to evolve?

A Seamless and Successful Transition from Quality Assurance to Quality Engineering

whitePaper | July 1, 2022

Quality Engineering has gained prominence with the shift to agile and DevOps. Companies are shifting from Quality Assurance process for an agile and scalable application development process. QE brings software development and IT operations teams together, removes silos, and embedding security in every step of the application development process. But this is just the tip of the iceberg among the reasons to shift from Quality Assurance to Quality Engineering. The move towards QE over QA is a cultural shift within the organizations and the development teams.
