Tailored to meet the specific requirements of organizations in the construction industry, our PPM3 Construction solution addresses the distinctive challenges of managing resources, equipment, and the financial aspects of construction projects. Our comprehensive solution integrates project requests, project financials, issue and risk management, document management and collaboration, vendor management, project budgeting, cost management, and provides robust dashboard reporting and analysis capabilities.
Project Intake
Effortlessly streamline the work intake process, encompassing the capture, assessment, estimation, and approval of projects, as well as the collection of successful ideas and management of project requests. Gathering project requests from the business, ensures that incoming requests are thoroughly defined, categorized, estimated, and appropriately dispatched for consideration in the delivery process.
Project Information
Project information such as the business case, financial information, and start dates can be filtered, grouped and organized in multiple ways. Additional project information such as title, overview, and justification is also managed in this area. These project objectives and other metrics can be stored and managed in PPM3 Construction that's easily accessed by the stakeholders.
Schedule Management
When projects are approved, PPM3 Construction creates a Microsoft Project Professional schedule one of the most advanced scheduling tools available on the market and preferred by project managers around the world. A specific template is applied based on the type of project that was determined during the intake and approval process. PM's can then use Microsoft Project Professional on the desktop to update and track project tasks, resources and assignments directly from the desktop application. And if you're using Procore, we can synchronize directly from the application.
Team Communication
Microsoft Teams provides centralized document and list management as well as integration across all of your Microsoft 365 apps and services such as Microsoft Word and Excel and is an integral part of the PPM3 Construction solutions. Teams is used for communication, real time collaboration, document sharing, meetings as well as support for 3rd party applications built directly into the Teams environment.
Document & Content Management
Each project will have a dedicated site that will be used to store and share project documents. Each site will be built from a template to ensure consistent look and feel as well as libraries, lists and workflows will be available in each site. Documents are made available to any member of your extended team with varying permission levels. Users without permission won't see any documents, while team members with the proper authority can upload, view, and download project documents as needed. Browse multiple file types and upload files from your computer or mobile device. Every project site will be built from a template to ensure consistency across project sites. By using organizational terms and categories, site contents are easy to find and store.
Issue & Risk Management
PPM3 Construction allows PM to identify, assess, and mitigate risks preemptively, while promptly resolving arising issues. By tracking these items in a proactive approach, it minimizes disruption and optimizes project performance. Issues play a vital role in every project, emphasizing the need for project managers to efficiently create, assign, manage, and report on them throughout the project lifecycle. In every project, there's an inherent level of risk, underscoring the necessity for project managers to anticipate, document, and strategize for potential risks. These risks can be consolidated and effectively managed across projects.
Change Management
Change is an inherent aspect of every project, and it is imperative that project managers can effectively manage it. PPM3 Construction incorporates built-in workflows and triggers to facilitate change management and ensure that everyone remains informed. Change management reports are also available to stakeholders and project managers
Status Reporting
The project's status is pivotal in advancing action items and deliverables, serving as a vital tool for keeping everyone informed. PPM3 Construction simplifies the process for project managers to generate and monitor status reports.
RFI's
Requests for Information (RFI)'s help project managers track requests being made by vendors and contractors. RFI submissions can be attached for each project. Keeping track of Requests for Information (RFI)’s keep everyone informed and on the same page. This part of the process helps reduce errors and rework and increases efficiencies.
Site Attendance
Managing site attendance has many benefits including communication and efficiencies as well reduction of errors and rework. This also helps with accountability and accurate record keeping. Tracking site attendance and making sure contractors show up is part of the responsibility of the supervisor and project manager.
Delays
Managing and tracking delays helps improve planning and accountability and should reduce costs as Project Managers can take steps to minimize their impact and reducing the overall costs of the project. PPM3 Construction gives project managers the ability to track and maintain any delays.
Safety Reports
Safety reports provide valuable insights into the safety performance, identify potential hazards, and help to prevent accidents. Project managers can take proactive measures to mitigate risks and improve safety protocols.
Site Conditions
Documenting site conditions is a crucial aspect of construction project management. It provides an accurate record of the physical state of the site, including topography, soil conditions, drainage, and existing structures. By regularly documenting site conditions, project managers can identify potential issues, track progress, and make informed decisions to ensure the successful completion of the project.
Materials & Equipment
Effective management of materials and equipment can help to reduce waste and minimize costs associated with purchasing, storing, and transporting materials. By ensuring that materials and equipment are available when and where they are needed, construction project managers can help to keep the project on schedule and avoid delays which impacts safety and provides better quality control.
Procore Integration
Procore construction software offers a multitude of benefits designed to enhance efficiency, streamline project management, and foster collaboration within the construction industry. Our integration process allows for synchronization capabilities between PPM3 Construction and Procore allowing for seamless integration between both environments.
