FinnBuild is an international building and building services fair in Helsinki. Congrid's
co-founder Matti Huusko gave a speech about using mobile tools to make projects more profitable. This blog text is a brief summary of Matti's points.
In the Finnish construction industry, safety and quality levels are high as measurements, observations and operations have developed quickly in the past decades. However, office job's amount keeps increasing although site managers should be at worksites.
Researchers pointed out the importance of digital solutions in the construction industry already 13 years ago. If you want your company to succeed, you must understand digital solutions' role as a competitive factor in the changing world.
Another issue Matti talked about was how to increase productivity in the construction industry. One reason for the slow development of productivity is inefficient documenting: only a few people make quality and safety inspections, which slows reactions to defaults.
The whole construction organisation must be committed and involved in the project documentation. Productivity goals can be reached quicker if you take into account the following points:
1. Invest in organisational commitment
2. Utilise digitalisation
3. Worksite data must be used more efficiently than it currently is
We must change the whole communication culture in the construction industry to increase productivity.
Changing the communication culture is not a quick process, but it will save a significant amount of resources and costs in the long run. Co-operation with younger organisations might ease the change as growing companies constantly have new innovations, and they are able to react quicker than older organisations.
