Don’t Arrive Late to the Party–Leverage the Right Technology Today
Drywall contractors face a multitude of challenges on today’s project sites. The largest challenge arises when drywall teams can only complete large parts of their work once the other specialty trades have finished their part. When so many outside factors and unforeseen conditions impact the project schedule, drywall contractors simply don’t have full control over their part of the work.
A Crowded Jobsite
MEP contractors are typically made up of three separate contractors: a mechanical contractor, an electrical contractor and a plumbing constructor. These specialty contractors may even subcontract portions of their work out to more contractors. If ‘three’s a crowd’ adding more drywall subcontractors into the mix of people on the jobsite with widely different scopes of work makes it nearly impossible to quickly respond to any problems that come up.
Typically the work is staggered in the project schedule to allow for a deliberate approach for when teams come on and off the project site. However, when schedules start slipping and the plan goes out the window, drywall contractors can struggle to be productive and meet their deadlines when everyone else is on-site and behind schedule.
Mistakes Cost Drywall Teams Time and Money
We’re all familiar with teams building off the wrong set of drawings or missing a change order that got pushed to the bottom of their inbox. When a project is already behind schedule, these types of problems amount to even more wasted money and time. Fortunately, we’ve put together a guide to help drywall firms get on track with the right software.
