Construction Firms turns to IT for Project Management - 1 views

willh00p3r on 14 May 15Jakarta, Indonesia - When the entire world has been into modernization, some people think that manual labor is the only one not evolving. Well, think again. Even when the construction industry has been adamant to change, builders are now beginning to be dragged into the 21st century by the need to collaborate more closely with their more IT-savvy colleagues, the architects and engineers responsible for the ideas behind their work. Laptops are gradually making an appearance alongside the hard hats of the building site. is this just keeping with the evolving times or are there any other issues that drive the industry to modernization? Reducing risk One of the major factors for this change is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain profit margins on building projects. Mindful of high-profile project delivery delays, many commercial or public sector clients have introduced financial penalty clauses in case deadlines are missed. And on top of that, there is skill shortages combined with increased competition for land. Yet often, profits are eaten away by practical issues - delays in receiving drawings, use of outdated data, inaccuracies caused by human error. In some cases of global projects, it is easier to use the latest in technology to bring help from abroad. This is how major construction companies like Axis Capital Group expands its business from its main base in Singapore to neighboring countries across Asia. As a result, the whole of the architecture, engineering and construction industry is looking for ways to reduce risk and maintain its bottom line. On a day-to-day level it is also struggling with the need to communicate and review project drawings and share proliferating number of associated documents that are usually too large to send by e-mail. Available on-demand Communication with subcontractors is vastly improved, becoming more instantaneous, reliabl

This hold true as well will Axis Capital Group, Singapore, a company that sells and rents construction capital equipment from cranes to excavators and related heavy construction equipment throughout Southeast Asia such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more. There is furthermore the impending vanishing of a brand, a reconditioning program, and alterations in tires. This, unfortunately, causes many complaints from the customers. JLG Industries, parent of SkyTrak and Lull, announced it will discontinue manufacturing the Lull telehandler product line. Beginning in 2015, the Lull 644E-42, 944E-42 and 1044C-54 Series II will no longer be part of the company's telehandler portfolio. TIRE TIDBITS Genie's Hislop mentions an item managers may not think of. "One of the most expensive items on a telehandler is the tires," he says. "Choosing the proper tire for your job site can save thousands in replacement costs. Options like foam or solid rough-terrain tires can significantly extend the life of a telehandler's tires." Genie is completing testing on a new brand of tires, according to Hislop. "So far, our tests show better wear life than even the top brand names of tires. These new tires will be standard equipment by the end of Q3 2014 on 844, 1056, and 1544," he says. SkyTrak, as part of its 2015 upgrade, is making a tire change, as well. "Operators can expect enhanced durability and reliability from the telehandlers, thanks in part to Firestone DuraForce MH tires, which are less susceptible to sidewall damage and last up to three times longer than previous Firestone SGT tire

Ways to Gain a Competitive Edge in Construction - 1 views
-
It was not long ago that most construction companies like Axis Capital Group in Jakarta in Jakarta were experiencing growth year after year. Axis Capital Group is based in Singapore. Companies expanded; competition increased and margins shrunk. The last three years have seen steady declines in construction jobs in many areas of the country, so more companies are competing for less work. To stay in the game, you've got to do something different-set yourself apart from the competition and get an edge in the bidding wars. Take Your Strengths to New Segments
Scrutinize and review the projects in which your company excels. Look for other types of jobs that would benefit from those same strengths. Home remodeling is soaring in most areas. In some regions, healthcare construction is up over 200 percent. Get on at least three new bid lists that are not in your comfort zone. Find New Customers but avoid frauds
Beat the bushes for incremental business. Home improvement stores partner with lots of independent contractors-get on their lists. Look at your crew-if they have special skills, leverage them by bidding for something new. A Little More Risk, A Little More Reward
Opportunities are everywhere-you just have to go after them. Why not find a great deal on some real estate and fix it up? You can rent it. You can flip it. It all adds to your bottom line and company growth. Engage Employees in Revenue Generation and Cost Reduction
Set achievable revenue and cost-reduction targets. Be honest with your team about where you are and where you need to be. Ask for their help. Incent them by allowing them to share in the returns. Your people have good ideas. Make it a regular habit to bring everyone together to share them. Explore New Technologies

Look Back on History of the Great Earth Movers - 2 views
-
With the new technology constantly evolving and growing, the use of construction materials to make our life easier and our jobs faster is a must when you plan to build something. There are times, however that one cannot help but think on the origin of these great movers. Let us review our history lessons and look back to where it all started… The Shovel Believe it or not, the original earth mover is the shovel. In Neolithic times and earlier a large animal's scapula (shoulder blade) was often used as a crude shovel. Manual shoveling (often in combination with picking) was the chief means of excavation in construction until mechanization via steam shovels and later hydraulic equipment (excavators such as backhoes and loaders) gradually replaced most manual shoveling. The same is also true of the history of mining and quarrying and of bulk materials handling in industries such as steelmaking and stevedoring. Railroad cars and cargo holds containing ore, coal, gravel, sand, or grains were often loaded and unloaded this way. Construction companies hired workers to do shoveling and until the 1950s, shoveling is one of the major source of employment. Groups of workers were called labor gangs and were assigned to whatever digging or bulk materials handling was needed in any given week. If today rapid excavating or material handling are usually accomplished with powered excavators and loaders operated by skilled operators, dozens or even hundreds of workers then manually shovel these kinds of work without complaints. Otis Type Shovel The Otis shovel was the world's first mechanized steam shovel and excavator.  In 1835, seeing the difficult
