Effective project management for construction companies

Con­struc­tion is a com­plex long-term project con­sist­ing of a large num­ber of small tasks. These tasks require dead­line man­age­ment, often depend on var­i­ous con­trac­tors, and are inter­con­nect­ed. All of this can be effec­tive­ly orga­nized and man­aged in Worksection.

Work­sec­tion clients note the intu­itive­ness and sim­plic­i­ty of the sys­tem, which is suit­able for employ­ees of var­i­ous spe­cial­ties and ages. The ser­vice is used by IT com­pa­nies, archi­tec­tur­al firms, gov­ern­ment and edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tions that launch projects with Work­sec­tion in an aver­age of 2 weeks.

Projects of any complexity

The con­struc­tion sec­tor involves work­ing on projects of vary­ing com­plex­i­ty, for which Work­sec­tion is a func­tion­al and con­ve­nient tool. With Work­sec­tion, it is easy to plan large projects, and most impor­tant­ly — to time­ly track who is falling behind on tasks and why the project is devi­at­ing from the planned expenses.


Plan more projects, des­ig­nate respon­si­ble par­ties for process­es, track project sta­tus, set dead­lines, bud­get, and time expenditures.

Gantt chart

The inter­ac­tive Gantt chart will dis­play all project tasks, dead­lines, and respon­si­ble par­ties on a con­ve­nient time­line. Move and extend tasks with sim­ple drag-and-drop func­tion­al­i­ty and cre­ate depen­den­cies between tasks. Switch between scales — days, weeks, months.
The Gantt chart will also help visu­al­ize employ­ee work­loads, set accu­rate dead­lines, and iden­ti­fy delays in plan execution.

Planned and actual expenses

Work­sec­tion allows you to man­age bud­get­ing for projects and tasks, help­ing you spec­i­fy planned project expens­es and track actu­al expens­es. Set indi­vid­ual hourly rates for each employ­ee. The Start/​Stop timer is built right into the task card and is high­light­ed in col­or depend­ing on dura­tion. Work­sec­tion will noti­fy you if the project bud­get is exceed­ed or approach­ing excess.
You can view expens­es by tasks,” employ­ees,” and tags.”

Workload management

How to under­stand who is idle and who is over­loaded with tasks? The project dash­board with ana­lyt­ics on peo­ple will show the num­ber of tasks for each execu­tor and the dynam­ics over the week. The dai­ly plan with an hourly time­line will help the man­ag­er see the team’s sched­ule and time­ly notice overloads.
Ensure that employ­ees are not over­loaded with work, as this can neg­a­tive­ly affect the over­all mood of the team and the results.

Subcontractors

Work­sec­tion allows con­nect­ing the client and con­trac­tor to the project and work­ing togeth­er. Assign the user the role of Guest” — and they will only see the projects and tasks they are involved in. For those who only need to view — there is the Read­er” role. All con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion from exter­nal par­tic­i­pants will be hidden.

Regular tasks

No need to deal with dai­ly rou­tine any­more. Each task in Work­sec­tion can be cycli­cal­ly repeat­ed — for exam­ple, set a reg­u­lar task for report cre­ation that will repeat on the last cal­en­dar day of each month. Repeat­ing tasks are cre­at­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly accord­ing to the sched­ule along with sub­tasks, pri­or­i­ties, and assignees.

Access from any device

Work­sec­tion is avail­able in the mobile app for iOS and Android. In it, you will see the lat­est updates on the project, be able to set a task, and respond to comments.
