traditional construction templates which were created and managed with word, excel and PDF. These construction templates served their purpose for many years, and have enabled companies to build out their information management system and assemble the documents and forms they need to conduct their daily operating procedures.<\/p>\n<p>But the problem with this construction templates, and with word, PDF and excel is that they were not designed for the construction industry or for construction companies.<\/p>\n<p>Using these templates, construction companies face the same problems which they have for many years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The admin and resources required to keep track of project information<\/li>\n<li>Unstandardised data being collected and needing to be cleaned and reconciled in the office<\/li>\n<li>Version control and master construction template problems, whereby workers use their own &#8216;version&#8217; of a word doc or spreadsheet, and the data being collected is wrong<\/li>\n<li>Mountains of paperwork and wasted paper<\/li>\n<li>Having trouble finding and accessing information when it is needed, because it&#8217;s buried in folder structures and hard drives<\/li>\n<li>The delays which these rigid documents create, by needing to be scanned, uploaded and sent via email<\/li>\n<li>The need to constantly format and move information between these fragmented tools and systems because they don&#8217;t communicate with one another<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These rigid construction templates served their purpose for many years, and have helped construction companies migrate their forms and documents into a digital format.<\/p>\n<p>But these templates don&#8217;t give companies the real powers of digital documents.<\/p>\n<p>The next evolution of the construction template is based on the power of the cloud and an entirely digital format, which will enables companies to push more power into the hands of site workers via mobile technology, and give project managers, management and the office more insight into what is going on in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, it&#8217;s easier for companies to download or copy the word doc, PDF or excel based template. But continuing to manage your processes and your business in this way will not reduce the headaches which you and your workers face in managing and delivering projects.<\/p>\n<p>You can start moving towards a more efficient digital format in steps, by first digitising frequently used construction templates like daily reports, <a href=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/za\/templates\/commercial\/forms\/site-diary-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">diaries<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/za\/templates\/commercial\/forms\/construction-variation-form-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">variations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/za\/templates\/finance\/forms\/construction-timesheet-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">timesheets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the manual tasks involved in managing these activities can be automated with smarter construction templates, and dramatically reduce the time spent managing information &#8211; freeing up time for value added activities which move your projects forward.<\/p>\n<p>There will come a time when all companies are using these smart construction templates to manage their work, and when parties can manage information and collaborate efficiently both internally and externally.<\/p>\n<p>This is your chance to stay ahead of the curve and make your company more efficient and more professional.<\/p>\n<p>Try one of these free construction templates for yourself now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<h2>Sitemate is the industries most flexible project management software.
