Construction is a fragmented industry. Increasingly complicated supply chains and build programmes can make understanding what is happening at each stage a difficult task.
Internal data from one stage of a project can hold much greater value when exchanged with other operations. Capturing data in this way will provide more insight into the performance of the built environment. This should lead to a reduction in waste, both in time and money.

John Leitch is bid manager at Hull-based modular buildings specialist M-AR Ltd, and has used Access ConQuest for more than 27 years. As demand for housing, particularly affordable homes, soars, he explains how off-site construction can provide greater cost certainty and faster delivery times.
Hitting housing targets is an ongoing challenge for many local authorities, which is why growing numbers are supplementing traditional building projects with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), or modular buildings – not just for new homes but schools too.
One of the main reasons, of course, is speed. A modular construction project can be completed up to 40% faster than conventional ones because most of the work is completed and approved off-site.
