Civil engineering book illustrating contemporary project management issues

Managing to consolidate all your employees' tasks on a single tool may seem a challenge. But it's the future of the construction industry. This change needs to be adopted as soon as possible to ensure a sustainable future for the industry. Indeed, efficient project management in civil engineering is a complex subject that requires software to track employee working hours, so you can quickly assess the needs and availability of your staff.

Contemporary issues in civil engineering project management

The world of civil engineering, with its inherent complexity and numerous players, is subject to a wide range of project management challenges. In this demanding context, three major obstacles stand out.

1. Communication gaps

At the heart of every successful project is a team that can communicate simply and clearly. Yet in many projects, communication proves to be an Achilles heel. Crucial information can get lost between the links in a chain, leading to costly mistakes, misunderstandings and delays. Without a unified platform where all parties can access up-to-date information, teams risk working with out-of-date or incorrect data.

2. Constant delays

Every project aims to meet an established schedule, but many factors, from unpredictable weather conditions to human error, can cause delays. These delays have a domino effect, affecting the delivery of materials, the work of subcontractors and, inevitably, the overall cost of the project. For the most accurate assessment possible, it's important to have a record of who's on site and who's requesting time off. This will enable you to plan appropriate replacements.

3. Fragmented collaboration

In civil engineering project management, collaboration is key. However, with teams often dispersed across different sites, and collaborators with divergent priorities, it's common for silos to form. These divisions can hamper fast, efficient decision-making, making it difficult to achieve common goals.

These challenges aren't just operational obstacles; they have a real financial cost. Budget overruns can quickly mount up when communication is poor, delays are frequent, and collaboration is inconsistent. How can a company navigate this complex landscape and find sustainable solutions?

Improving communication: what are the solutions?

Navigating the hustle and bustle of construction and civil engineering project management requires a reliable compass. WhileAgendrix offers software for managing work schedules, Civalgo offers more than just a timesheet. We think it's important to have access to every employee on the site, so that every update can be communicated in real time. Civalgo's functionalities have been designed to facilitate relations between the various stakeholders, whatever the medium(ios and android application, software, website, etc.).

The maestro of coordination

Where other tools merely facilitate exchanges, Civalgo rises to the rank of maestro, orchestrating communications with unrivalled finesse. Its intuitive platform ensures that everyone involved in the project has up-to-date information, eliminating the risk of actions based on obsolete or inaccurate data. As mentioned above, it's easy to get to grips with, and can be accessed both as a mobile application and directly on the web from a computer.

A universal lexicon for everyone

One of the great advantages of this tool is that the multiplicity of players involved in a project naturally generates a variety of terms, jargons and expressions. Civalgo, however, serves as a universal lexicon, putting everyone on the same wavelength. Whether engineers, workers or subcontractors, they all speak the same language.

Shortcuts and clarity in exchanges

Civalgo optimizes everyone's time by avoiding the multiple round-trips often necessary to clarify a point or confirm a piece of data. Its integrated messaging tools, including notifications, ensure that important messages reach their target quickly and efficiently. The people concerned are informed of every change in real time.

Controlling deadlines with Civalgo

Civil engineering project management is a delicate exercise, requiring rigorous monitoring of work schedules, fluid communication between employees, and the ability to adjust schedules according to site needs. With Civalgo, project managers have found an application that perfectly matches these requirements. Everything is contained in one place: in the dedicated scheduler.

Project Agendrix

Think of Civalgo as the Agendrix for large construction sites. The tool provides a transparent overview of work schedules, ensuring that every hour counts, and that working time is used wisely to optimize productivity. From vacations to customer appointments, all data is located in the same project file.

Digital timesheets

The traditional timesheets are transformed into reports reports, enabling managers to track the hours worked by each employee. You might think thatExcel is a more efficient product for tracking, but think again! Thanks to Civalgo's functionalities, data can be accessed directly from the app on a phone, guaranteeing real-time personnel management. With just one click, you can send this information to the accounting department and generate invoices.

Improved collaboration: working together better

In the complex world of construction, synergy between teams is crucial. Civalgo understands this! That's why it offers a range of features designed to intensify collaboration. Through an intuitive platform, team members can exchange and share documents in real time, and track the progress of tasks simultaneously. This fluidity of communication ensures that everyone is optimally aligned with project objectives.
