By subcontracting, the construction company outsources certain types of work to other companies. Although this allows you to work on several stages of a project's development, it can get tricky when several are running at the same time. It can be difficult to keep track of your subcontractors' obligations to you. Read on to find out if a software solution for construction companies can help you reduce the pressure associated with working with subcontractors.
Monitoring the activity of subcontractors
Projects awarded to subcontractors may be pursued in such a way as to comply with all agreed conditions, in particular those relating to costs and delivery times.
SocrateERP allows you to carry out construction work efficiently, keeping both quantitative and value records of all materials and resources consumed in phases, subphases and activities. As the work progresses, the quantities consumed are highlighted and costs and profitability can be tracked in real time.
Software solutions developed specifically for the construction industry, such as SocrateERP, help you manage all your projects more easily, whether you work with your own teams or with subcontractors. This tool (SocrateERP) for subcontracting task management provides you with clear evidence of what work was done by the subcontractors, when it was performed and the time required for it.
The management of subcontractors tends to be a predominantly “manual” activity, but this approach leaves room for misunderstandings and communication errors. However, these methods can cause problems such as:
- Delays in delivery
- Disputes between contractors and subcontractors
- Poor communication
