Recently, many contractors might have gone to watch or heard about the latest superhero movie like Doctor Strange right? The movie clearly demonstrates the importance of time through an example of the main character. However, when we talk about the time in construction, BUILK would like to explain how important the time is for construction industry?
After BUILK has developed the free cost control program for SMEs contractors for nearly 7 years, we often talked about “TCQ theory” and surveyed many contractors in Thailand with this interesting question “Amongst these 3 attributes: Time, Cost, Quality if you get to choose only two qualities within this pool what would that be?”
Surprisingly, the majority of contractors were in favour of TIME, as the main priority. This is an example of Khun Aekkarat Soukpakarn, Real Estate Service Co., Ltd. that specialises in real estate development and construction in Hua Hin area, he has mentioned about time in construction business as “We are mainly reputable for our project quality and accurate project time forecast”.
Another example is that “ our company emphasises on sustainable business model, project quality and meeting a deadline. In addition to this, I always make sure that our team clearly focuses on the same goal/objective ”said Khun Santi Thongkamheng, a construction manager of Khon Kaen Unity Construction Co., Ltd.,
Incredible! Japan make it possible to fixed up the collapse roads fully finished in just one week
Recently in 8th November 2016, there has been a hot news about what happened in Fukuoka, Japan. The road in downtown of Fukuoka collapsed into the depth of over 20 mitres which caused many nearby streets to close temporarily even though those roads are the main routes for transportation.
But then again in 8th November, after one week the road has collapsed, there was an unbelievable news release stating that “the collapsed road with approximately 20 mitres depth has been successfully repaired and it took only 7 days to complete.”
This road repair project is considered to be a high speed construction process which, of course the contractor must be extremely experienced and skilled.
Imagine how much issue would it cause more, if the repair took more than 10 days to complete?
Due to the main road construction, people had to spend extra time on their transportation as they would need to use another alternative routes, also the shops and restaurants nearly the construction would not be able to open and serve their customers. In addition to this, people who live close by might have been affected by the lack of electricity to use due to the construction in the area.
Obviously, It is now clearly explained that time is incredibly important for construction industry in order to reduce the overall causes and effects.
Therefore, for this reason BUILK decided to develop the Construction management program for free to use in place to help contractors to save their time, as us, BUILK, we know that construction work is quite complicated and difficult to closely monitor.
