Case Study/Project Management
Building context/challenges.
►Improve clarity in communication.
During the drafting process, frequent communication with the client and architect is often necessary. Each project entails hundreds or even thousands of drawings, each requiring multiple annotations and version control. Using the current Excel-based control sheets means dealing with thousands of rows and dozens of columns of text records. With such a massive amount of data, constantly scrolling horizontally to view it makes it difficult to quickly find and review the required information.
►Tracking the history of drawing modifications manually is time-consuming and laborious.
When each drawing goes through different processes, there will be different control sheets, such as receipt control sheets, QA control sheets, meeting records, etc. Therefore, multiple reports must be created to record various information. However, it is difficult to link and correspond between these reports, making searching time-consuming.
►The QA control sheets created in Excel are difficult to manage and control progress.
After the completion of the drafting process or model creation, numerous issues arise that require discussion, such as discrepancies in dimensions or details, structural ambiguities, and so on. These issues necessitate meetings and assignments for resolution. However, a construction project typically comprises hundreds or thousands of construction drawings, structural plans, and layout diagrams, among others. With such a large volume of drawing-related issues, a more efficient tracking method is required. Nevertheless, the existing Excel control sheets lack the capability to provide timely reminders and notifications.
Solutions
►ezteamwork structures a large volume of communication messages, allowing for customized categorization and rapid filtering.
The standard architecture of ezteamwork allows for structured recording of messages from multiple sources, organizing and sorting the cluttered information. This assists Daxin in integrating and quickly focusing on the change history of a single drawing. Relevant personnel can understand the context and avoid information gaps.
► Centralize management of graphics and documents, establish a list of sent and received drawings, and integrate various control sheets.
All licensing drawings, construction drawings, and structural drawings are centralized on the same platform, with the drawing number as the main axis. Each drawing number corresponds to its relevant information, such as the date of receipt, version number, contents of clearing drawings, and related issues. This assists each department in reviewing the clearing process at a glance and allows for quick access to all relevant information for a particular drawing without the need to open multiple Excel sheets and manually match the information.
► Integrating Meeting and Assignment Management
When there are discrepancies in the drawings that require a meeting for discussion, apart from documenting the meeting content, the tasks generated from the meeting can be linked to the meeting itself for quick reference in the future. Tasks arising from the meeting can be tracked through system reminders, reducing human errors. Relevant personnel can stay informed about the progress of tasks (tracking, replied) and allocate resources accordingly in a timely manner.
Benefits of implementation.
