Keep Your Projects On-track Using RemodelerPro

Being able to continuously and efficiently monitor the progress of your project is vital to the success or failure of any business. However, in the remodeling or construction industry, where requirements change rapidly, it assumes even greater significance. Whether you're on time and under budget, how much of the project has been completed to date and how much is still to go, how many more resources in terms of material and workforce do you need or can you pull out some of them are just a few questions that may accelerate or impede the overall pace of the project.

If you are a contractor who manages several different projects and sub-contractors, the equation becomes even more complex. Not only do you need to track your budget and resources across different projects but also ensure that they all get individual attention.

With RemodelerPro, you have the luxury to track your project progress right from your computer from anywhere in the world. You can monitor your costing, schedules, estimates, progress reports, etc for each stage which ensures that the problems faced in one phase do not spill over to the next.

Protect and Mobilize Your Digital Assets with RemodelerPro

Last week we talked about how RemodelerPro’s photo gallery helps you, the contractor to project your work to the current and prospective clients. We also talked about how your clients can actually share the pictures of the project across their social network. This week, we shall talk about another important part of your business – Document management!

Information is what your business depends on. However, are you, your staff, or clients able to locate this information when its needed? Efficiently managing the digital assets of your business namely document management, pictures, and other important documents is critical to the success of your business. Several researches have indicated that companies lose on an average a staggering $12 Billion per year to inefficiencies caused by the lack of a structure for managing their documents and digital assets? Can you as a business owner afford that? The answer lies in developing a Document Management system.

RemodelerPro allows greater control over project documents using its Document Management System. Think of it as your web-based centralized repository where you can manage distribution of all your documents with your clients, suppliers, employees, and sub-contractors. No need to carry around a bunch of folders anymore. No need to worry about not having a copy of the client’s contract or material selection sheets. Access them at any time, from anywhere! Manage construction plans, material lists, change orders, photos, bidding documents, contracts and more. With RemodelerPro, you don’t just manage your documents, you mobilize them.

RemodelerPro also accounts for versioning of the documents maintaining only one final version so that you and your clients have access to only the latest specs. However, it maintains older versions for reference and also helps you manage permissions for both internal and external resources.

RemodelerPro provides a simple and secure way to transform how you control your documents across your projects and all of it in a snap.

Communication-Life and Blood of Your Project

Whenever there is a talk about issues in managing construction projects or specifically remodeling projects, the first thing that invariably comes to mind is failed or inefficient communication. Time and again, analysts have referred to the importance of successful communication as the key to successful projects. In fact, it is so important that it has been pronounced as the lifeblood of a project.

Coming back to remodeling projects where requirements can change rapidly, communication not only keeps everyone up-to-date on the project progress, but also facilitates buy-in and ownership of major project decisions and milestones. To ensure the success of a project, such information, including expectations, goals, needs, resources, status reports, budgets and purchase requests, needs to be communicated on a regular basis to all the major stakeholders.

That’s exactly why RemodelerPro has a two-way communication system; between the contractor and the client and vice-versa that helps both the parties manage communication between them in an easy, efficient, and transparent manner. It is an integrated solution that lets contractors efficiently track and archive client, subcontractor, and supplier interactions including email, text messaging, documents, images, scheduling, and more.

RemodelerPro is a real-time solution and very versatile in message delivery. Any time your client, employee, subcontractor, or supplier sends you a message pertaining to your project, the message is immediately forwarded to you so you can respond at the speed of information. All communication regarding your project flows through the messaging system and is archived for future reference.

With RemodelerPro, all project related communication is easy, efficient, secure, and always on time.

As always, feel free to let us know what you think.

Project Scheduling Challenges and Why It’s a No-Brainer with RemodelerPro

Drawing up and adhering to project schedules has always been a sort of challenge as well as a pain for home remodelers and failure in this area alone can guarantee an unsuccessful project. Even if the project is somehow completed, you may stand to lose profits on account of misspent hours running around clients, subcontractors and other stakeholders involved in the project.

This is where RemodelerPro’s Project Scheduling comes into play. Equipped with a smart calendar utility to help you schedule and manage all crucial components of your project, from the start to the finish, project scheduling becomes regular clockwork with RemodelerPro.

You can choose to create a calendar from a range of available templates for similar projects, customize each of the calendars as per the specific needs of projects, and allow your clients to view the calendar for their project using their secure access. This not only helps you and your client to remain in sync with regard to important milestones.

In RemodelerPro, the contractor has a tool to schedule across multiple projects. That’s right, it gives you an administrative view to combine all your project schedules, for all your clients, to see where conflicts exist and to find opportunities to better utilize your resources. While you can view and make revisions to all your projects and their corresponding calendar controls, your clients have a “Read-Only” view for just their project.

RemodelerPro is a forward-looking solution that takes into account everything there is to remodeling projects. Embrace it and you will never have to worry about missed timelines or lost profits.

We would like to hear from you. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or comments.
