There is always a right and a wrong way to get a job done

In the building industry, there is always a right and a wrong way to do a job

The video (see the link below) above shows a guy standing on top of a three storey wall, demolishing the wall with a sledgehammer. Guts..? Stupidity..? Workplace culture, necessity, maybe so. However, it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt. Then he’s not earning anything anymore (except with a tin cup).

Fortunately here in Australia, we get most of this stuff pretty right, most of the time. It has taken a long time, though. Back in the day, there were plenty of ‘cowboys’ out there. Luckily for all of us, the culture of being a hero and taking risks just is not on anymore.

There is always a right way and a wrong way to get a job done. This video proves that. You can get away with doing things the wrong way for a while, maybe for a bit longer than a while, but eventually, it will come crashing down, on someone!

It still surprises us how often we see builders and some construction companies trying to run multiple projects and teams of subbies by using spreadsheets, paper-based processes. They then do invoices and payments out of a completely separate system, re-entering data and hoping it will all go okay. Our experience has been that builders running multiple software packages often struggle with data duplication and just make mistakes that could be avoided.

Integrated Construction Software

Just like when you’re smashing a wall down, there is always more than one way to get the job done. It’s the same if you want to run a fully integrated construction management software package. Rather than cobbling together several different non-specialist packages, we recommend a better, easier way. By using a completely integrated construction software package. An integrated construction management system is where all the data and processes feed into one another from one data entry point. That means you can have confidence that the business stuff (tax, invoices, payments, cash flow, retentions, margins and more) are all linked in together, with no gaps. There is no double entry, no room for mistakes, no loss of money and you can report and track your builder retentions. Integration means you can easily get reports to check that your projects and clients are doing just fine.

Testimonials

“We needed to find a program that had comprehensive job costing & accounting features, attached to a powerful but easy to use estimating program. We tried at least 3 other of the leading program brands and found Bizprac to be by far the most user friendly, without compromising critical features or functionality. Bizprac allows us to keep track of the ongoing jobs and keep’s our job claims up to date. Bizprac has allowed us to spend much more time onsite doing the job and way less time on the computer.

Whenever we need help Bizprac support staff are friendly and easy to contact. Also when we suggest new features or changes to the program, they are reviewed and added if other customers have the same request. So the combination of Bizprac’s feature-set, ease of use, and readily available support, meant going with Bizprac was a no brainer.”

“At our previous employer, a large building company, we became familiar with the functionality of a large construction software product from Sage. So when we went to the market to look for software, our aim was to find similar functionality at a fraction of the price. We knew it was a tall order. The only product that provided the full functionality was Bizprac. Bizprac was built by builders for builders and this was evident to us when we reviewed the product. We were very impressed with the value for money that Bizprac provided and now that we have started to use it, we’re also impressed with the support and ease of use. We’re very happy with Bizprac!”
