Brighton, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2015 -- BuilderStorm, the mainstay of online construction management software industry, has launched a new feature designed specifically for online construction inductions. The new feature is expected to help BuilderStorm consolidate its leading position in the market while simultaneously making the software program attractive to potential users.
This BuilderStorm feature makes online construction inductions possible which means that the induction process in the construction industry will no longer be tied to specific construction sites. At the same time, cloud based construction induction training will make the use mobiles and tablets possible whether onsite or offsite.
According to senior management of BuilderStorm, the decision to offer online construction induction software or feature as part of the complete BuilderStorm package was made the company did a Time and Motion Study which involved surveying 683 projects split between 23 English construction companies. The findings of Builder Storm's survey were.
-Most construction sites conduct inductions four days a week,
-Some inductions last for 30 minutes while others take the whole day, and
-On an average, inductions take about 60 minutes.
A construction company with 30 different projects, hence, spends resources on inductions for 120 hours every week. With Builder Storm's online construction inductions feature, a construction company can split its whole induction process to be generic and/or site specific. There is flexibility to complete the whole induction process online or more site specific and significant material carried out in person. The implementation of this system will reduce the average induction time to 30 minutes (based on average inductions course matter). This will mean a massive reduction of 50 percent which will accumulate to huge financial savings as well.
However, these savings will be a result of the basic functions of the online construction inductions feature of BuilderStorm. Supplementary features can further lead to time and cost savings for a construction company. Other features that BuilderStorm has added to its already extremely exhaustive construction management software include.
-Customizable registration forms for enrolling users quickly and easily,
-Create company specific induction packages including text, images, and videos, html, PowerPoint presentations,
-Questionnaire Management for formulating questionnaires for testing inductees,
-A detailed user management feature,
-Chance to deliver specialised training courses either created by the construction company or third party organisations,
-A publically available mock CSCS test feature for giving candidates a chance to practice before giving the real CSCS tests, and
-Full indepth site analytics for monitoring statistics pertaining to various elements of Inductions and employee progress.
These features also have the potential to help a construction company save a significant amount of time and money. Furthermore, these features support the online construction inductions feature of BuilderStorm as well.
When James Sandwick, co – founder of BuilderStorm, was approached regarding these new features, he chose to focus on the online construction inductions feature by explaining the difference between how inductions are carried out right now and how BuilderStorm will change that. As per Mr Sandwick, 'As of now, construction companies spend far too much time and money inducting new employees onto construction sites'. He went on to add, 'Builder Storm's new module for online construction inductions will lead to huge savings for construction companies, free up resources and will help workers to embrace technology and its benefits in construction'.
Till now, construction companies have been using laptops and projectors to induct employees. This means that in order to induct employees at construction sites, these companies have to be physically on site for an extended period, which is time consuming and inefficient. With BuilderStorm, they will not have this cost as potential employees can be inducted in their own time off the construction site. Support is provided and can be managed effectively from the team.
