General Contractors

For General Contractors the Location-based method is all win! There are literally no downsides. When converting a Gantt chart to a Location-based Schedule, you will be able to reduce your construction period with 10-20%. Going from 20 months construction period to 16 moths, will save you and your firm time and money. And – as a side benefit– this will also reduce your CO2 emissions significantly. Here is four major benefits:

Unlike traditional Gantt charts, Location-based Scheduling reveals the hidden effects of even minor adjustments. This helps General Contractors make informed decisions and avoid unintended delays or complications during project execution.

Boost efficiency and savings for General Contractors with Location Based Scheduling

Imagine transforming a 20-month project into just 16 months, resulting in substantial cost savings for you and your firm. Not only that, but it also contributes to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, serving as an additional environmental benefit.

One of the key advantages of Location-based Scheduling is the early identification of critical issues, allowing timely corrections to be made. Let’s consider a real-life example that demonstrates the power of this approach:

Imagine a subcontractor, specifically a plumber, who contacts the General Contractor with a request for additional days per bathroom in a large residential complex project. The General Contractor appreciates the plumber’s proactive communication and is open to accommodating the request.

However, when they analyze the updated data using Location-based Scheduling, they realize that granting this seemingly small adjustment would result in a three-month delay for the entire project. Consequently, the plumber’s request must be declined. Nevertheless, the plumber understands the reasoning behind the decision and agrees to increase their crew size instead. This scenario exemplifies how Location-based Scheduling unveils unforeseen consequences that are difficult to anticipate with traditional Gantt charts.

By embracing Location-based Scheduling, General Contractors can maximize efficiency, save costs, reduce environmental impact, and make informed decisions to avoid project delays. Don’t miss out on the transformative benefits this method has to offer!
