Overcoming Construction Hurdles
Per Aarsleff's Journey to Avoid Budget Overruns and Schedule Delays with Buildots
Diving into Aarsleff's implementation of Buildots offers a window into a new approach of construction project management, where excellence is defined by data-driven precision. Through the strategic use of objective progress data, Per Aarsleff uncovered hidden costs and on-site inefficiencies, paving the way for improved project performance and delay risk mitigation, as well as prompt discrepancy detection.
The Emergence of Performance-Driven Construction Management
Per Aarsleff implemented Buildots to achieve three key objectives and structural changes in their on-site work processes:
- Improving workflow efficiency by proactively addressing incomplete tasks, thus preventing potential disruptions and keeping the project on track.
- Elevating stakeholder collaboration and enhancing subcontractor accountability and transparency.
- Resolving claims, which can escalate into costly disputes and financial losses.
Per Aarsleff A/S, Denmark's largest contractor with an annual turnover of £2.3 billion, strategically broadened its expertise by venturing from traditional civil/groundworks to complex urban building projects. In their pursuit of enhanced productivity, Aarsleff adopted data-driven progress tracking for a 8,000 sqm (86,000sqft), 9-floor head office construction project in Aarhus, Denmark.
