Features

Envision is a SaaS (Software as a Service) construction management tool that reduces project administration effort and costs and radically improves field productivity. Built upon the principles of Lean Construction and Workface Planning, Envision represents a new and more efficient way to work.

Envision reduces field delays and helps focus resources on critical path activities, while enabling near real-time visualisation of field progress and events. This allows for more intuitive reporting and project control. Envision improves project profitability and delivery outcomes for owners and EPCM and construction contractors.

• Project Dashboard

  See your project’s health, progress and potential problems in an instant using our intuitive dashboard view. Providing key metrics across all areas of your project, Envision allows you to easily drill down into any areas of concern to understand issues as they happen.

• Project Reporting

  Envision has partnered with GoodData to create flexible and meaningful reports to provide high-level business value. Use periodic reports to provide highly detailed insight into the progress of your project.

• Schedule

  Synchronise Envision with the master project schedule from Primavera or Microsoft Project. Update schedule activities using a smart-phone in the field or using a web-based Kanban-style planning board. Monitor activity status and quickly follow up on overdue activities.

• 4D Schedule

  Envision’s Google Sketchup integration allows you to view and interact with the baseline, planned or actual construction sequence in 4D, highlighting field issues in the context of an interactive three-dimensional model and providing rich visualisation detail.

• Kanban

  Prioritise and track activities on a Kanban-style planning board. Quickly identify issues (blockers) that delay field activities and focus management effort on resolution. Read our white paper on Kanban and Workface Planning.

• Time Sheets

  Track time in the field using a web browser, tablet or smart-phone. Eliminate cumbersome spreadsheets and duplicate data entry, while providing instant access to labour and equipment utilisation metrics.

• Manage Project Photos

  Take photos relating to scheduled activities or field events on your smart-phone and upload directly to Envision. Keep all project photos in one place and share as needed.

• Event Tracking

  Capture field events as they happen using your smart-phone with text notes, photos, videos or voice memos. Share events with all project stakeholders quickly and simply to expedite issue resolution.

• Contract Notifications

  Events that cause schedule delays or contract variations can be used as the basis for Contract Notifications. These can be reviewed, approved and shared as appropriate with project stakeholders.

• Project Correspondence

  Events that require correspondence with project stakeholders can be used to initiate template-based documents such as RFIs, TQs or similar correspondence.

• Quality Assurance

  Envision can easily manage your QA documents and workflow. Any documents created using our innovate and flexible custom document templating engine, either through our web interface or in the field from a smart-phone, can then be referenced to the schedule or site variations for increased project transparency.

• • Inspection Test Plans / Reports
  • Non-Conformance Reports
  • Punch / Defect Lists
