Your World? Managing the construction process to time, cost, schedule and scope is both challenging and critical. Mobilization is paramount, as starts and stops are fatal to a retail project. A seamless project requires securing all jurisdictional approvals, permissions and permits. Long-lead items must be properly ordered, purchased and scheduled for shipping. The value of timely and effective communication and issue resolution can’t be overstated. Serious help in the form of a software platform that is simple, quick, robust and supportive of industry standards, best practices and common sense is a wish-come-true.
Stick to the schedule
site|folio’s
scheduling engine simplifies your efforts to track critical milestones and provides instant visibility into deliverables and target dates across your own workload, and all external consultants. Specialized dashboards and reports consistently and effectively communicate status for every stakeholder and inform team members of approaching deadlines, while automated notifications advise associates of hits and misses. Design your own schedule templates to encourage and enforce consistency, or customize milestones where each project is unique.
Real-time correspondence & contract administration.
As the gatekeepers for all types of request (RFI, ASI, PR, CCD, Change request, Submittal, CO, COP) from myriad external partners, the construction group is likely to have a great appreciation for standardization and adherence to best practices. With site|folio all requests are consistently submitted and electronically answered. All interested and responsible parties are alerted when requests are submitted; their response-time and -quality is transparent.
site|folio’s tight correspondence management provides a solid foundation for creating and tracking all architectural, consultant and contractor contracts. Define
workflows and approvals then let site|folio automatically calculate scope, monetary and schedule changes to contracts as documents are amended/approved.

Know who is involved on your project.
site|folio’s project directories list all businesses, organizations and individuals associated with a given project, and define the role or responsibility of each party. As sub-sets of site|folio’s centralized
enterprise directory, project directories are guaranteed to be consistent across you entire portfolio. Our security framework applies here as well, so maintaining accuracy is a matter of restricting the permission to add or edit entries to a few, select administrators.
