Software products for industrial and construction holdings

Valentina Larionova, MAG CONSULTING consultant

Today it is impossible to imagine any economic activity- on a scale slightly larger than handicraft production - without automating the main business processes. And if it is a huge industrial and construction holding? Here, all processes, starting with project development, budgeting, architectural and geoengineering design and ending with accounting and tax accounting, require the introduction of a specialized software.

Currently, there are countless software products on the market (both specialized or adapted for construction, and industry-wide) designed for companies of completely different sizes and profiles.

Diversified construction holdings of a full cycle use in their activities, as a rule, several types of software products: each division or service has its own, specific one. Therefore, there are often problems associated not only with the choice of specific automated systems, but also with their integration, data sharing, as well as with the resulting incomplete automation of all business processes. All this complicates the formation of a single information field of the enterprise, which is so necessary for effective management.

This article will help large construction companies in choosing software products to automate their activities. As examples, software products are presented that, according to the authors, are most relevant to the specifics of the construction industry. current requirements accounting and management.

We provide here, of course, by no means an exhaustive list. possible solutions, therefore, when choosing a particular system, an enterprise must, first of all, focus on compliance functionality systems to their company's needs.

So let's consider a necessary set of software products for system automation in a full-cycle construction holding, which provides a full range of services: from the creation of a project idea and its business plan (including then financing and the construction process itself) to the implementation of constructed facilities and property management:

Accounting program (for automating accounting and tax accounting) supporting industry-specific activities
Automated system of planned calculations (for calculating construction estimates)
Automated construction management systems (for managing construction projects at all stages)
Automation system design work(for architectural and engineering design of construction projects)
Geoinformation system (for solving territorially distributed tasks)
Corporate information system for managing the resources of a construction company or group of companies (ERP-system that supports the specifics of the industry).

When choosing programs for accounting and tax accounting it is better to focus on those that take into account industry specifics. Such well-known developments of 1C company as "1C: Construction Customer" and "1C: Construction Contractor" allow, in addition to general accounting and reporting, to plan and take into account costs in the context of construction objects, within the approved estimates, to keep records of the implementation of construction and installation works in the context of construction sites, construction sites with the execution of documents according to industry forms (KS-2, KS-3 and others). They also provide for the possibility of keeping sectoral records of inventories, the operation of vehicles and on-farm settlements.

It should be remembered that a prerequisite for any accounting program is compatibility with the program for calculating construction estimates. For example, 1C configurations can work with the products Estimate 2000, WinSmeta, Hector, Estimate Encyclopedia PC and others.

TO budget programs the following requirements are imposed: a wide choice of methods for calculating estimates (resource, basic-index, basic-compensatory, mixed), the presence of various regulatory framework data (1984, 1991, MTSN 81-98, GESN, TER and others), ensuring simultaneous operation of several users on the network.
Programs "Hector: Estimator-Builder" (developer by OOO NTC "Gektor"), PC "Resource Estimate", "Estimate 2000" (Developer by OOO Firma StroySoft), certified by Gosstroy of Russia, meet the specified requirements. In addition, for example, the PC "Resource estimate" also contains additional information (ESN, write-off production standards, texts of current methodological documents).

Estimated programs of this level allow you to calculate local, object, summary estimates, acts of work performed (KS-2), accumulative statements (KS-6), statements of need and write-off of resources (M-29), certificates in the form KS-3, statements the actual increase in the cost of materials, accounting for the performance of contractors, price monitoring, resource price indexing, and much more.

An additional advantage of the estimate program is its ability to integrate with scheduling and project management systems. In particular, "Hector: Estimator-builder" allows you to transfer information to the Spider and Primavera systems.

Automated construction management system, for example, the Spider Project universal system (the developer of SPIDER Management Technologies) allows you to receive complete information about ongoing projects, analyze the project from different angles, plan work schedules and optimal use of resources. Among its users are SK Barkley, Stroymontazh, Moy Dom (Vladivostok), Mosvodokanal, etc.

Some systems have specialized solutions for the construction industry. For example, Primavera P3e/c for Construction (developed by Primavera Systems, Inc), designed for construction management companies, large contractors, engineering companies, design institutes, allows you to create all reports and graphs standard for the construction industry; control projects; manage costs, resources/stocks; analyze reporting. Technical capabilities enable each project participant to receive up-to-date information anytime, anywhere and promptly respond to it.

Specially for architecture and building design the ArhiCAD software package (developed by Graphisoft) was created, which provides the development of any architectural and design solutions. In ArhiCAD, you can simultaneously work on the creation of a project and draw up the relevant construction documentation, at any stage you can see the building being designed in three-dimensional form, in section, in perspective, make an animation video. This program has received such wide recognition that, in our opinion, it does not need to be presented in detail.

At the stage property management, when renting out premises, construction companies can use the automated information and legal system "ArCon-Arenda" (developer company "Eurosoft") together with the calculation and graphic product "ArCon - Architecture and Design".

One of the features of this system is the ability to obtain information about both past and future events - for example, to check which rooms will be free in a month or to find out how the tenant's payments have changed during the entire lease term. Being in the visualizer environment, you can get a list and display on the plan the rooms that are rented by a specific tenant. The visualizer allows you to import and export projects of floor plans and buildings to other formats, calculate the area and volume of premises, and create video files.

At all stages of real estate development and at the stage of property management in particular, large construction companies can use the so-called. geographic information systems (GIS) for accounting of geographically distributed objects: design and planning of urban infrastructure, analysis and optimization of territorially performed tasks, solving administrative problems of territorial management.

Modern GIS make it possible to select objects according to the territorial principle, organize a search for address-related objects on the map, divide territories into zones and compare them with the values of any quantities. At the same time, information can be presented in the form of electronic maps and cartographic objects can be supplemented with texts.

Some GIS, such as Autodesk MapGuide (developed by Autodesk), are a set of software modules designed to create and develop technologies for providing GIS functions and GIS data on the Internet/Intranet. Using such a system will allow the organization to get the most out of investments in information, technology and people.

Autodesk MapGuide reads data from CAD systems and communicates with various databases (Oracle, Sysbase, Microsoft Access, Atlas, etc.).

Increasing design complexity and investment, expanding the range of services of construction market operators increase the requirements for corporate information system. Practice shows that maximum benefits can be obtained from the resources already available at the enterprise (labor, equipment, subcontractors, materials) without increasing them, but only through improved communications, accurate assessment of tasks and results, as well as by integrating the actual construction (production and technological ) processes and business processes of the company. Some modern ERP systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) have industry-specific construction solutions that enable corporations to achieve this goal.

Let's say the PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne Real Estate system (developer American company PeopleSoft) offers a powerful tool for real estate companies based on a single database of a centralized environment, the information in which can be used for consolidation and is available at any time.
The system helps improve productivity and work accuracy project personnel Through better communications, Minimize the direct project cost from the real-time forecasting stage, Maximize the productivity of the construction process and the use of machinery by accurately estimating the scope of work, Increase the payback of the machinery through better utilization and lower cost Maintenance, minimize overhead through more efficient integration.

Among domestic developments in the field of ERP systems, one can note the Galaktika - Capital Construction Management Module system (developed by Galaktika Corporation), which is also a single integrated system that automates the work of departments of the management apparatus and units involved in planning and accounting for the implementation of capital construction . With its help, the following tasks of a construction company are solved: determining the need for the construction of facilities, drawing up plans for construction and financing, accounting for planned and actual construction costs, maintaining contracts with contractors and customers, receiving reports on the progress of construction and development capital investments. The solution is intended for the top, managerial level of construction organizations and does not contain estimates or architectural calculations for individual objects. For these works, the possibility of integration with estimate programs and automation systems for design work (CAD) is provided.

Seriously talking about complex automation of a diversified industrial and construction holding allows "Integrated system for construction and real estate" based on the ERP system "Microsoft Business Solutions - Axapta". Initially developed as two additional industry modules for MBS-Axapta (the so-called Add-on solutions) MAG-Realtor and MAG-Builder, this system today is a productive basis for solving the problem of combining all software products of a construction holding full cycle in a single information field.

Among unique features of this software package, it can be noted that it implements a strict control over the budget of a construction project at all stages of the budgeting process: from the development, coordination and approval of estimates for a particular construction contract (or the facility as a whole), through the stages of weekly / monthly or randomly distributed at the time of applications for allocation of funds, until they are confirmed financial service and payment. The system actually eliminates any, even the slightest, deviations from the procedure and volumes of construction financing adopted at the enterprise.
It also implements original methods for managing sales of apartments in houses under construction and on the secondary housing market, settlements with clients (taking into account the specifics of various forms of real estate development financing), and much more. Integrating with the well-known Microsoft Project software product using a special gateway, the system solves almost all tasks of accounting and management of large-scale construction industry. In order not to list here anew the functions already considered by us and implemented in other, heterogeneous software products, provided by this system, we have highlighted them in the text of our article in italics.

Thus, it is on the basis of ERP systems, which are a new generation of information systems, developed to solve current business problems, taking into account the multiple functional features of large construction enterprises, it is possible and necessary, in our opinion, to build any solutions for business automation. These systems are able to provide construction companies with highly integrated solutions based on common databases. The latter circumstance allows you to enter data on all business transactions into the system once, and evaluate the impact of these transactions on the results of a construction project immediately, in real time.

By combining, by creating common interfaces, an ERP system with any, even the most modern specialized software systems from CAD to GIS, a holding or a group of companies begins to work as a single organism, not crumbling every now and then into separate construction sites, functional departments, design offices or architectural workshops.

Of course, the selection of software is individual for each enterprise, but we hope that this article will help you navigate the variety of offers on the software market and make the right decision.

Some software products for building automation were considered as examples in the article. The diagram shows an approximate comparative evaluation the cost of purchasing them.

ASPR - automated systems planned calculations (estimate programs)
ASUS - automated construction management systems (project management)
CAD - automation systems for design work (engineering and construction design)
GIS - geo-information systems
ERP - enterprise resource planning systems

The cost of the packages is determined approximately on the basis of an analysis of the needs of a large construction organization in automated workplaces for each group of automated business processes.

How to minimize design errors, eliminate downtime and reduce construction costs by up to 30%?

The construction industry in Russia is actively developing. As the industry grows, so does the competition between its players. To maintain and grow their positions, companies need to improve business processes and look for new solutions for everyday tasks. Not everyone can cope with the challenges of a highly competitive market. Thus, according to relevant analytical agencies, up to a thousand construction companies of various sizes go bankrupt in Russia every year.

There are enough reasons for such a negative trend. The industry is quite complex - in order to effectively manage construction, it is important to MINIMIZE the cost of projects and implementation time, errors, downtime, and also take into account a lot of other points.

However, as practice shows, one of the decisive block factors for successful work is the low level of automation of construction companies. Many developers continue to manage the construction process literally in manual mode in the old fashioned way.

Calculations show that manual control of the design and construction cycle leads to financial losses, which amount to 30% of the total construction cost.

The main losses occur for the following reasons:

errors in the project;
poor quality logistics;
inconsistency in the work of contractors and other participants in the process;
inaccuracies in calculations of physical volumes and estimation of project cost;
lack of necessary data or their irrelevance.

In addition, difficulties in managing the facility are due to the increasing complexity of the structures and engineering systems of modern buildings. Scope of information for making effective management decisions increases significantly.

We live in the 21st century, and the need to move to digital construction management is becoming more and more obvious every day. Therefore, whoever today does not follow current trends and refuses the latest technologies tomorrow will not withstand competition and will be forced to leave the market.

BIM is changing management technologies in construction

Building information modeling (BIM) technologies are currently being actively introduced in the construction industry, which allow creating a computer analogue of a future building, as well as structuring information about an object, its elements and linking them together in 2D, 3D, 4D views.

Today, to automate workflows, construction companies use corporate systems and their class counterparts project management, Workflow Management, Document Management and others.

These programs, of course, help in solving some automation tasks, but still have a number of significant drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that they are not specialized services, therefore, are not able to comprehensively meet the information and management needs of users.

For example, these systems automate only standard processes and do not take into account the presence of information models (structures, equipment, materials) of objects (BIM models). As a result, there is no relationship between the elements of the information model and such components of the business process as work schedule, individual tasks, documents, etc., and it still has to be adjusted and controlled manually.

It turns out that the elements of the information model are in no way connected with the work schedule, individual tasks, documents and other components of business processes. As a result, this connection is still established and controlled manually, with all the ensuing consequences.

Why is it better with Lement Pro?

In order to effectively manage construction and optimize its cost, implementation time, as well as eliminate errors and downtime, it is necessary, at a minimum, to automate:

accounting for the number of people, materials and equipment required to solve current problems at the facility;
information process responsible person on the progress of construction: the volume, quality and cost of the work performed;
communications between all construction participants;
document flow with the ability to generate and sign in in electronic format technical, financial acts and other documentation.

With these functions and other important tasks facing construction organizations, the Lement Pro product line does a great job.

The Lement Pro system is a comprehensive and effective tool construction management for companies of any size.

The capabilities of Lement Pro allow you to correctly build:

management of business processes, projects and assignments;
end-to-end management of progress information construction works using BIM technologies;
technical and financial document flow;
resource and material management;
procurement and tender procedures management;

Thanks to a wide range of system functions, developers have the opportunity to optimize the entire construction life cycle and significantly reduce costs.

For clarity, see the calculation of savings on communication costs when using Lement Pro (Fig. 1)

Picture 1

Quick and easy access

Despite the wide possibilities and information content, the Lement Pro system is very easy to use.

To get started, you only need a username and password to log into the system from any computer, mobile device without special software. Lement Pro can be hosted in the vendor's cloud or in the customer's private cloud. And the system interface is no more complicated than the interface Email, so the user will quickly and without difficulty orient himself and begin to fully use it.

Special for the construction industry

Lement Pro Building is a dedicated solution for the building industry in the Lement Pro product line.

Lement Pro Building provides end-to-end management of information about the capital construction object at all stages life cycle. The system makes it possible to manage every element of the building, which is associated with processes, tasks, documents, company goals.

What does it look like?

To evaluate the advantages and interface of the system, for clarity, we will analyze the operation of the system using one of the examples.

The system accompanies the information model of the object, linking its elements with a detailed work schedule, tasks and documents.

For example, Figure 2 shows an object model with structure coloring depending on the stage of readiness:

gray color (natural) - this part of the object has been built and accepted by building control;
green color - the part was completed by the contractor and is being checked by the construction control;
red color - the part was not completed on time.

Figure 2

In the system, you can see the location of the object on the map (Fig. 3) and video (Fig. 4) from various webcams installed at the construction site.

Figure 3

Figure 4

The project diagram (Fig. 5) shows the production schedule with necessary level construction details. Each item of the schedule is an electronic task in which planning, discussion and fixation of the performed actions take place.

Figure 5

For example, if you select the overdue task "Arrangement of the floor slab of the 2nd floor of the AFC", then you can see the building elements associated with it that need to be built (Fig. 6 and 7).

Figure 6

Figure 7

For each element, you can get a detailed description that is contained in the information model of the object and see where the element is located on the object (Fig. 8 and 9).

Figure 8

Figure 9

As you can see, the element is colored red because the construction task associated with it is overdue.

As soon as the task is completed, the element will automatically turn green. Also, the system will automatically create a task for the acceptance of such an element to the person responsible for construction control. After acceptance, the structural element will be painted gray. Thus, the user can access the system at any time and view the amount of work performed, their cost, and also obtain other necessary information.

Efficiency confirmed by own projects

Lement Pro was created by the Element company, which is a resident of the Skolkovo Innovation Center and has been developing software since 2011.

The creators of Lement Pro are actively working in the construction industry, so every day they use the system to coordinate documents, project documentation, execution of orders, setting goals, maintaining archives for completed projects and many other tasks.

The experience gained is directed to the development and improvement of Lement Pro, thereby making the system efficient, versatile and convenient.
