The quality of communication between the teams has improved. The centralisation of information and direct access for everyone to the same, up-to-date information increases the fluidity of projects and allows IT’LEC to better meet their clients’ requirements. For example, when a job involves pulling an electrical cable for lighting fixtures, field crews can access all the necessary information directly on the plan via the PlanRadar task function: location of the cable, type of cable, technical data sheets for the fixtures that the cable will supply, etc. As Meyer says, “The objective of adopting PlanRadar is also to simplify the work for the people on the site. Today they are asked to know everything, all the time, it’s very complicated! With PlanRadar, people on–site can access the necessary information at any time with precision!” Another feature discovered while using PlanRadar is the editing of reports directly from the application. With just a few clicks, Meyer can create progress reports for the customers directly from the job site. This gives them a clear view of the projects’ progress.
“Such accurate reporting to the client directly from the construction site paints a good picture.” Alexis Meyer adds: “I sent these reports to one of my clients and he said he had never seen this before and thought it was great! He could see the entire project in advance, every switch location….” Thanks to the application, Mr. Meyer spends less time editing reports. He can quickly create a report with a part containing the plan annotated with numbers and a second part with the descriptive legend of these numbers. This gives the customer a clear and precise view of the progress of the work. The future goal is to propagate the use of PlanRadar on 100% of IT’LEC’s projects, and to push the use of BIM models to its customers to gain even more clarity and visibility on the project.
