It’s been on everyone’s lips for the past few years: a goal of “zero defects” at handover!
At the Defect Liability Period phase, how much time do you spent warranty its defects and redeploying your teams on the project? Too much time. No need to worry; there is a solution to facilitate interactions in your warranty management. Ever more sitesupervisors are taking on the challenge of replacing a software suite with a tablet. The result is that information is centralized in a single tool, and you can move more quickly through your punch list.
When managing defects on paper, too many of you are still undertaking no fewer than seven meticulous, time-consuming steps: visiting the field with all its plans; taking a photo of the defect; locating the defect on the right plan; retyping the defects in Excel with a detailed description; importing each photo into Excel and emailing it to the teams; sending reports; recalling the teams by telephone. You can lose on average a total of one day per week just entering information! And during that time, you’re not making any progress.
If you want to send the punch list of defects to your subcontractors as easily and as quickly as possible, move to a tablet.
Go from 7 steps to 1 without changing your habits!
