Rachel examines the advantages of two ground-breaking pieces of software; an app that allows users to monitor project teams in construction, and another that allows users to keep track of the quality of building progress on site. 

These fascinating tools, ‘Geniebelt’ and ‘Aproplan’, allow for enhanced communication between project teams, and have been developed by Letsbuild. Joining Rachel today is Jason Ruddle, the managing director of Letsbuild UK to discuss the applications and development process.

In this second part of the conversation, Rachel examines the practical uses of the Letsbuild software, and the areas in which it is currently making a difference.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Letsbuild’s systems allow for a one-stop-shop of information and communication that unifies the network of construction, eliminating the need for disparate methods of communicating, and banking all data as the project continues.


• One of the main advantages of the software is that it reduces the reporting time each week, as reports are built on a running basis. It also allows the supply chain to accurately and swiftly examine a project’s needs and adjust supply of materials and services accordingly.


• Letsbuild are currently working with a number of housing associations - one of the most rapidly growing areas of the building sector. Implementing the software in their construction channels will allow a much more efficient process.


• Part of Letsbuild’s customer base use their software, but also link into the ever-popular Trello Board system. Letsbuild are happy to admit that they don’t have the answers for everything, and so through their API customers can link into more familiar systems. This is a huge benefit and selling point.

BEST MOMENTS

• ‘Time savings - companies can save at least 10% of resource time’


• ‘Yes we will have many housing associations using the Letsbuild app’


• ‘It’s all about knowing the details. What are their requirements?’


• ‘We've managed, through hard work and determination, to become one of the top ten construction bloggers’
