Single platform will help Ireland-based property developer digitise more construction and quality processes
Quantum Group, an Ireland-based property developer, has selected Zutec to manage its construction project data from a single platform.
By digitising building information and construction documents, Quantum will use Zutec’s document management system for planning, design, tenders, procurement, and plot tracking, including the ability to approve drawings for future developments and resolve issues on site as they arise.
“In a market where quality cannot be overlooked, we required a platform to differentiate ourselves from others and create a framework for quality-driven processes,” said Patrick Shaughnessy, construction director at Quantum Group.
“Zutec fitted the bill in terms of an easy-to-use platform that provides solutions, features and functionality that gives us more control over how we manage documents and information related to construction and quality for all our projects – all from one place.
“This will help us better manage site teams, site progress, suppliers, and sub-contractors, and ultimately raise the standards of the quality and innovation across our developments.”
A suite of integrated quality assurance and health & safety forms, checklists and inspections will all be delivered to Quantum by Zutec to help ensure data is digitised and can be easily collected in a consistent way and housing and apartments are built to the company’s high standards.
This will include the ability to upload photos to evidence work done and a snagging register so data can be reviewed, and problems resolved ahead of handover. Data related to safety inspections can be captured on-site in real-time then easily shared with teams to provide safety visibility and mitigate risk.
Zutec’s handover management will also help Quantum effectively manage projects to completion by bringing together O&M (operations & maintenance) manuals, fire evacuation files (FEF) and health and safety files (H&S) in one place to meet asset owner and regulatory obligations.
All data can be captured in the field by site teams and subcontractors using the Zutec Field app from any device with or without a Wi-Fi connection. Information is then synced in the Zutec cloud, when a device is online, and uploaded into the Zutec dashboard for reporting and analytics, but also for easy information, site progress and compliance.
“As developers and housebuilders look to digitise more construction and quality processes, our aim is to support them with the best solutions that help drive structure and standardisation in data and documentation across their business,” said James Cannon, Chief Revenue Officer at Zutec.
“Before now, Quantum didn’t have a digital system in place to manage information during the construction stages and relied on manual and paper-based processes. With Zutec they can have all their information in the cloud and workflows in place to ensure the right people have the right information at the right time, empowering teams to deliver builds more efficiently and to higher-quality standards, while giving site managers complete control and confidence over works completed. One solution for everything.”
