Construction Management Software
For Immediate Release
Innovative Construction Management Software Pays for Itself in Efficiency
The homebuilding industry is plagued by lost profits from falling behind schedule. If you fall 15 days behind on the construction
of 600 homes at a carry of $140 per day, you have lost $1.26 million!
TracTime scheduling software's advanced design not only communicates your project scheduling goals but identifies problem
areas and, with its built-in functions, implements the solutions to get your delayed projects finished on time. TracTime
catches you up when time is running out, saves you money, and keeps your buyers happy. TracTime's precision dynamic scheduling
management program combines a spreadsheet interface with a dynamic customizable database to deliver a flexible construction
management scheduling software program.
National Schedule Masters in San Marcos, California, says many builders spend hundreds of hours preparing a detailed schedule
for their houses. But when something changes, they have the difficult task of manipulating days, activities and subcontractors
and hope everything comes out all right. When delays are caused because of weather, design changes, trade strikes, shipping
delays or subcontractor problems, the last thing you can afford to do is sit down for an entire day and manipulate the schedule.
With National Schedule Master's TracTime scheduling software, you can be printing your updates in less than three and a
half minutes.
"Staying on schedule is one of the hardest things for a builder to do," says Rudolph. "TracTime has become the industry
standard in residential construction scheduling," citing 80% of the top 10 builders using TracTime software. "The other
20% who use spreadsheets or generic schedulers cite high costs, steep learning curves, and rigid software as their major
problems. The combined annual home starts of builders using TracTime exceeds 80,000."
Once you are trained for about an hour and become comfortable with the software, you can easily create your own schedules,
but ongoing support and training is included free for the first three months. TracTime software provides you with an interactive
Daily Field Report, Milestone Report, Buyer Options, Delay Days, Projections, ChartBuilder and Summary Reports that look
good and keep communication between management and construction instant and precise. Your reports are customizable to your
exact specifications, and changeable at the drop of a hat. Users can compare several reports at once and view them by date,
location, lot, subcontractor, to-do list, resources, cycle times and many other variables.
Most scheduling programs take hours to set up a schedule, then only tell you if you're late and do a few reports. However,
TracTime's dynamic planning concept can save you in a pinch. It pays for itself in just a short time. Unforeseen delays,
the builder's nightmare, can be dealt with dynamically with our COVER YOUR BEHIND REPORT. Solutions are implemented immediately
to complete your houses by your drop dead date.
TracTime can be used remotely from the construction jobsite or in the office. The program also has the ability to send schedules
to and from the construction sites using handheld computers. Management can then view up-to-date information instantly.
WebTracTime also allows the smaller builder to lease the software for a small monthly charge and access it from the Internet.
No other software offers a complete scheduling reporting system on the Web.
