Course Description
This course is part of the Innovative Builder series of courses designed for Specialty Contractors.
“Reducing Rework” is designed for specialty contractor operations leaders and project managers seeking to minimize costly rework and enhance jobsite efficiency through effective communication and advanced technology. With the complexity of modern construction projects, rework can significantly impact both timelines and budgets. This course breaks down common rework causes and offers practical solutions for specialty contractors to prevent unnecessary delays and financial losses.
Participants will explore key topics such as drawing management, document organization, and the use of 3D modeling software. These tools are essential for improving collaboration among all project stakeholders and reducing the frequency of rework. The course covers how technology facilitates seamless communication between field teams and office staff, enabling contractors to address issues promptly as they arise on the jobsite. By focusing on early stakeholder involvement, participants will learn the importance of maintaining clear communication lines throughout the project lifecycle. Within the course, you’ll hear real world stories and use cases directly from your fellow specialty contractors that have used technology to reduce the impact of rework on their businesses.
Upon completion, you’ll know how to apply cloud-based tools to spot potential issues before they occur and enhance your team’s workflow management. The course empowers specialty contractors to lean into technology to reduce change orders, increasing profitability, and fostering strong relationships within their teams and customers.
