How to Maximize the Lifecycle of Construction Heavy Equipment

How to Maximize the Lifecycle of Construction Heavy Equipment

The management of construction heavy equipment is a difficult task. However, the proper management will help get the most from the investment and enjoy the safe operation of the machine. The lifecycle of equipment depends on preventative measures, regular inspections and well-trained operators and technicians. These contribute to higher productivity and cost reduction.

Why inspection is a key

During a heavy equipment maintenance, inspection is a fundamental process. By conducting thorough heavy equipment inspections, specialists ensure that the necessary components are in working and safe order. Construction businesses will save hundreds or thousands of dollars and maintain consistent workflows when their heavy equipment needs less time on repairs and stays in better shape for long-term use.

Checklists and data accumulation

A good inspection process relies on the proper capturing and processing of information. Inspection checklists help operators and inspectors streamline inspection process and always remember what to look for. These lists can be processed and let mechanics refer to them to determine service requirements and possible repair situations. Also they serve as the basis for reports. All this data will help identify bigger issues before a major breakdown occurs, and it is instrumental in keeping costs down and production up.

Mobile solutions in heavy equipment inspection process

To avoid inconvenient paper-based checklists and difficulties associated with them, modern specialists move to special mobile software, which contains all lists and forms in the digital format. Mobile checklists and heavy equipment inspection apps provide the following benefits:

– Access anytime anywhere

The whole team have instant access to collected data. Any issues can be immediately reported to the right people. It reduces time, eliminates unnecessary moving and operations, and optimizes the workflow.

– Accuracy and reliability

Paper is unreliable and there is a high risk of errors when manually filling out the lists. Mobile checklists and heavy equipment inspection apps reduce human error and ensure accuracy of data.

– Legal security

Regulatory standards and rules can be built into the mobile inspection form, ensuring that all safety and other regulations will be addressed during the inspection process and reporting. Moreover, heavy equipment inspection apps allow safely storage of all the data for instant providing at the request of higher authorities or if necessary. This is an additional way of the legal security of the construction company in case of various proceedings and issues.

People are still the main resources for cohesive operations, however modern heavy equipment inspection apps can become a good pocket assistant to free up some time and make life easier. Keeping this in mind, Snappii, a mobile business app provider, has developed several mobile solutions for the construction industry and construction heavy equipment inspection in particular.

OSHA Violations: How to Avoid the Accusations

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) was established in 1970 and companies must be in compliance of its safety standards to this day. Failing to be in compliance and violating these standards can be very costly to both the lives of employees and the business itself. And the question is who’s to blame for OSHA violations, employer or employee?

Forewarned is forearmed: protect employees and your business

In an interview with NBC2 News last month, safety director of Crown Roofing, a Florida company specializing in new construction, re-roof, maintenance and roof service (the firm has contested more than $500,000 in fines), said the incidents occurred because some employees were not obeying company safety rules. Sometimes even if a contractor has trained its employees on safety rules a few workers may simply refuse to follow procedures. Anyway, employers need to make sure they make some basic measures to protect their employees and their business.

– First of all, any employer should provide employees with a written policy of general safety rules and procedures as well as violation consequences. Forewarned is forearmed and this works for both sides.

– If employees have a full understanding of the tools, equipment, substances they may be working with and of the emergency behavior, the chances of accidents will decrease. Regular reminders and training and their reporting will protect employees from injuries as well as protect businesses from violations and fines.

– Employers should pay special attention to a system of verifying that the rules are being enforced. This is usually accomplished by visual observations, timely documentation of any violations and punishment. It’s extremely important to discipline the person who was committing the violation by special measures.

Smart assistant in your pocket

To successfully implement all the measures above, businesses need a tool for optimization, inspection and reporting. Special mobile apps are the best assistant, which allow users to communicate, track, collect data, process it, generate reports, send and store them anytime and anywhere.

Snappii, a mobile business app provider, have helped thousands of companies in such industries as construction, field service, warehousing, transportation, logistics, fire safety, fleet management and more. We try to focus on the most required operations and help specialists improve and optimize them. OSHA case reporting mobile app is designed for individuals to instantly report any violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations right on the spot. It can help employers save their business and streamline workforce management. Snappii team is able to modify OSHA case reporting app for any specific needs. For example, you can use your existing forms right in this app. We will convert them and make necessary changes. Just contact us to discuss.

The maximum citation for serious safety hazards is $12,471 per violation. It’s beneficial both in terms of employee health, and business finances and legal security to stay up to date on OSHA safety standards and make efforts to identify and negate possible safety hazards. Employers can find more useful information about OSHA regulations and get a consultation here.

Digital Transformation: a New Way of Legal Department Operation

Digital Transformation: a New Way of Legal Department OperationDigitalization changes the dynamic

Nowadays industries are under a digital transformation that reshapes usual business processes. This provides tremendous opportunity for innovation, competitive advantage and business growth. Gartner notes that 87% of senior business leaders identify digitalization as a key priority. However, some businesses still concern about risks associated with digital initiatives. Mostly it concerns legal departments. They accustomed old manner business operations with paperwork to have a paper confirmation of any process. This can represent a critical gap in the whole workflow.

Digital readiness pushes forward legal departments

According to Gartner, legal departments that successfully achieve digital readiness can increase on-time project delivery by 63%. “When legal departments successfully achieve digital readiness, it can better support business agility while maintaining rigorous governance.” Let’s consider in the details how it works.

A step to the digital future: the benefits for businesses

Saying “digital transformation”, we mean mobile solutions. And their main focus is data and communication. Mobile data is more safe and subjected to better control. It contributes to more organized and accurate data work. Modern companies should consider digitalization as a convenient way to legally save their employees and the business itself. One mobile business app can contain all work documentation in a convenient mobile format at the fingertips. Legal departments can replace huge amounts of paper files with just one app and avoid losses, mess, and other issues, which can lead to serious consequences. This way, digital solutions provide significant benefit when it comes to legal-specific data security. Thanks to mobile technology, legal departments are able to work timely with any decisions, regulations and changes in decrees, track regulatory requirements compliance and get any reports for further provision to higher authorities.

The New Role of Construction Data and Its Optimization

The growth of data – the growth of problem

Construction industry deals with some of the biggest and most expensive projects on Earth. Huge amounts of resources, labor and equipment go into major construction projects and of course, this means that huge volumes of data are generated. “The 2004 project contained 100 gigabytes of project data, including drawings, documents, image files and more than 100,000 e-mails; the 2014 project contained 6.6 terabytes of data, comprising 288,000 project e-mails and more than 11,000 construction drawings, which adds up to 66 times more data” (Raconteur). Despite the growing abundance of information in construction, how to make it work and help drive more informed decisions? Let’s consider it.

Many construction companies are not able to optimizing even a fraction of the data they have on hand because of the gap and the distance between the construction site and the office. Meaning, while they have access to large amounts of data, that information isn’t being processed, analyzed and collated to influence project and company decisions. Thanks to fulminant mobile technology progress, nowadays there is one solution that can help bridge the gap and provide instant exchange of current data.

Breakthrough opportunities of construction data

Special mobile apps provide access to the most relevant data, in one place and real-time, and project teams are able to instantly communicate and make changes to the project. Field workers can capture data right on the jobsite and share with the office and management department. And the office, in its turn, can make decisions and timely notify the jobsite. Such streamlined communication and work with data contribute to a more efficient workflow.

Snappii works with construction companies about 10 years. Taking into account requirements of modern construction specialists, we improve and develop our mobile solutions to provide maximum benefits. Snappii construction apps are a combination of high quality, set of powerful features, intuitiveness and speed of execution. Our customers participate in the whole process, from idea to delivery and can control the creation of the app.

“There is a strong need for accountable construction processes that minimize mistakes, waste, re-work and cost/time overruns. As a global average, higher costs versus budget runs around 20 percent. This is mainly due to re-work and delays from unforeseen events,” said Topcon’s Senior Manager Construction Chris Emery at DigiCon 2019. The main aims of Snappii are to help eliminate delays, reduce a waste of time and money and increase productivity. Snappii construction apps provide strong constant communication and reporting in the whole project team.

“Thanks to Snappii, we moved away from paper forms and are quite pleased with the result. Now it literally takes a few minutes to fill out the report, sign and send it. We receive a convenient PDF output that’s stored in the app and also can be shared via email, cloud drives and printed, if needed” says Steven Koski from Harold Brothers Mechanical Contractors. We are not going to stop there and continue to develop. Join us and learn the existing opportunities. Also you can contribute to our new innovative solutions.

Build or Buy Mobile Business App: How to Make a Choice

Mobile apps are the centerpiece of most modern businesses. But there is a common dilemma: should you build them or buy. More precisely, build mobile app from scratch, using special online platforms, or hire software developers to build a custom solution and get a ready-to-use product.

Trust but check

Custom app development companies offer ‘packaged solutions’ that address specific industry and business needs. Among the benefits are

– speed,

– high quality,

– ready to deploy,

– integration with different systems,

– and some other.

However, there are some cons. For example, difficulty in finding skilled mobile developers is the top roadblock to releasing enterprise apps in a timely manner, according to a 2014 report by Appcelerator and research firm IDC. And even if you manage to find such a developer, custom app creation will cost you a substantial amount of money.

You can do it. But are you ready?

Thanks to modern online app creation platforms, it does not necessarily mean becoming a code master to build an app yourself. With a bit of efforts and time almost anyone could create a complicated app for the most demanding client. Special no code app building platforms offer a ton of pre-made features and templates to meet the needs of any industry. Their advantages speak for themselves:

– 100% matching needs,

– cost-effectiveness,

– confidence in the result,

– no need to interact with hired developers,

– and more.

Unfortunately, there are several negative points of this approach. Sometimes app creation may require too much time. Not everyone is ready to postpone tasks and start building the app, even despite a simplicity of the process. The platform may not have the functions you need, and it can require ordering of additional options.

The question is – should you order custom app creation or build the app yourself? Our answer is not unequivocal. At Snappii we offer both custom business app development and the codeless platform to create the apps yourself. First of all you should analyze your needs and opportunities.

Before you make a choice

If you need rather a simple app, based on work with data, you definitely should try to create it yourself. Snappii provides powerful Mobile Form Converter to transfer your PDF forms to their mobile analogues. You just download Snappii Mobile Forms app and are able to use your converted forms and some features like instant generation of reports, their storage and emailing, autofilling and more.

For more complex apps, we offer custom app development. At Snappii, it’s absolutely affordable and requires weeks not months. Anyone has an opportunity to get custom business app without breaking the bank. Your iOS and Android apps are designed, built, fully tested, and prepared for release to the app store. Our team works closely with you and meets all your needs and ideas.

Nowadays business apps are not a matter of choice, it’s an essential tool of any successful business. However, you can choose the way of getting a mobile solution. And whatever you decide, Snappii is happy to support you.

Construction Trends of 2019: Have Time to Use in Your Business

Construction Trends of 2019: Have Time to Use in Your BusinessConstruction spending was up in 2018 and it was also a record year for venture funding in construction tech startups. On the strength of the growing stats, builders and contractors want to keep up with the latest construction industry trends so that they can also stay ahead of the competition in 2019. Here are some trends that could affect how to conduct construction business in 2019 to be successful and profitable.

Drones: flying assistant

Drones is one of the hottest trends of recent years and it will gain momentum in 2019. With drones came onto the scene, contractors and construction specialists can get access to various data. Commercial drone use in construction surged 239% year over year, the fastest growth of any sector, according to a May report from DroneDeploy. Among  drones’ useful features are:

– capturing photos from above,

– 3d mapping,

– terrain analysis,

– thermal heat imaging,

– visualization,

– etc.

When linked to a special mobile software, drones can provide even more opportunities. This year LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) opened up 99% of US airspace to drones.

Lean building: when less is more efficient

Construction is one of the world economy’s largest sectors. According to a McKinsey & Co. report, under economic strains, it’s all the most important for the construction industry to clamp down on inefficiency and improve productivity levels. Lean building is a solution, which allows eliminating waste in all construction fields, and contributes to rational and productive business. For example, avoidance of excess materials and overlapping in a workflow, accurate planning and creating strategies, in-time deliveries and decision-making. In a McGraw Hill Construction survey of such companies, 84% reported higher quality projects since transitioning from traditional methods, 80% saw greater customer satisfaction, 77% experienced greater productivity and 77% improved jobsite safety.

84% reported higher quality projects since transitioning from traditional methods, 80% saw greater customer satisfaction, 77% experienced greater productivity and 77% improved jobsite safety

Mobile software for construction can become a useful assistance in the lean building. Construction apps contribute to more accurate and timely data, constant communication between different construction departments, efficient management, tracking, inspection and more.

Eco-building: eco means smart

From year to year, eco-friendly trend is becoming more and more popular in construction industry. There are some points to pay special attention in 2019.

Energy efficiency is one of them. Energy-efficient buildings of course, include solar panels and batteries. Moreover, modern building developers prefer super-insulating materials and smart energy systems, which contribute to secure energy supply while reducing carbon emissions. Construction specialists predict the rise of such sustainable energy sources in construction as biogas, wind energy, and geothermal energy.

Eco-friendly concrete is a mandatory component of successful construction company in 2019. Concrete manufactured from glass, paper, and foam is used as a substitute for traditional concrete. Since concrete is the most widely consumed material in the construction industry, this accounts for a whopping 9.5% of global emissions. Also concrete requires constant costly maintenance and repairs. This way, the innovative self-healing concrete is helpful for the environment as well as for the economy.

Now some construction companies have an interest to such materials as recycled plastic, wood, mycelium, hempcrete, etc. 2019 will provide even more eco-friendly solutions and strengthen their use.
