8. Collaboration
– Real time reporting also accelerated and improved the quality of
collaboration between site and office based staff
Sustainable
– Share of data capture more efficiently,
– Reducing trips travelling to and from site (full team reporting)
Time
– Helped towards the project being delivered 26 weeks ahead of
programme
Cost
– Estimated time Cost savings 2 – 3 weeks (£215,000 per week)
– Productivity with Supply Chain
– Traffic Management costs £10,000 versus £690 labour materials
Safety
– Engineers and Supply Chain fully briefed location / information
before going out on site to carry out the works
– Reduced times in and out of traffic management
