Did you know, a manager typically spends three hours a day dealing with interruptions?<\/p>

That\u2019s a lot of time being wasted. But within construction, such lost time can have huge negative consequences \u2013 often leading to unnecessary costs, delays, and maybe even the failure of the project. As such, it\u2019s more important than ever that you work productively and efficiently.<\/p>

We believe we have the solution.\u00a0MSite<\/a>\u00a0is, at its very core, a digital workforce management platform that is designed to facilitate effective\u00a0time management\u00a0in construction. Here we take a closer look at how it works and how it could help you to limit the distractions and get the job done.<\/p>

How could MSite help to manage your time?<\/h3>

MSite uses technology to drive productivity. The platform has several software modules that can be used to help streamline day-to-day processes, which typically take up a lot of your valuable time. For example, it can assist with:<\/p>

Registration, ID checks, and inductions<\/strong><\/p>

Thanks to a fully integrated CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) database, MSite can automate the\u00a0worker registration process<\/a>. It will vet and validate accreditations on your behalf, making sure workers are who they say they are, and store that data in a secure cloud-based system.<\/p>

What\u2019s more, company, site and role\u00a0inductions<\/a>\u00a0and assessments can all be uploaded onto the system \u2013 allowing operatives to complete these in the comfort of their own home. This means they can arrive onsite prepared and ready to go, saving you precious time and resources. And with training done and dusted beforehand, it gives you one less thing to worry about.<\/p>

Direct to worker notifications<\/strong><\/p>

All operatives are given access to the\u00a0MSite Workforce App<\/a>, which can significantly improve communication \u2013 without the need for time-consuming catch-up meetings and debriefs.<\/p>

At the simple touch of a button, you can send key updates and messages via instant or scheduled push notifications, directly to everyone\u2019s smartphone. These messages can be used to convey important information about safety announcements, shift changes, refresher training and more. And convenient read receipts will evidence whether workers have read them or not for your records.<\/p>

Reporting<\/strong><\/p>

Most managers would agree, the key to a successful construction project (which runs on time) is having a complete picture of your day-to-day operations \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what MSite can offer.<\/p>

It provides instant visibility of your operations. Real-time data and reports \u2013 relating to time and attendance, worker ID, training, skills and accreditations and more \u2013 can all be found on a single cloud-based platform. Data is available to view at a site, group or business unit level. And you can run reports and view live dashboards on everything you need to know about your workers.<\/p>

This can be particularly useful if you manage multiple projects at once. There\u2019s no need to spend hours completing tedious paperwork. Data is standardised across all sites, ensuring consistency and accessibility. And these rich data insights can be used to drive better decisions and productivity. You can ensure that \u2013 as a whole \u2013 your construction company is working as efficiently as possible.<\/p>

Other ways to improve time management<\/h2>

Our complete\u00a0end-to-end solution<\/a>\u00a0is designed to help you \u2013 as a construction manager \u2013 to oversee your workforce and operations, simplifying time-consuming daily tasks and allowing you to focus your efforts elsewhere. And it can make a huge difference. But in addition to MSite, there are many other things you can do to improve your time management. Here we suggest a few ideas.<\/p>

1. Always refer to the project schedule<\/p>

As the manager, the \u2018project schedule\u2019 is your bible. It states exactly what needs to happen, when, and who is responsible for that particular job. The slightest change to this schedule can often have a ripple effect, causing more changes and problems further down the line.<\/p>

Therefore, one excellent time management strategy is to keep referring back to the schedule. You need to make sure you\u2019re on track \u2013 and, if you\u2019re not, it\u2019s important to review and adjust the plan, as necessary. For most projects, we recommend taking a look at the schedule every morning. Then, once you know what needs to be done, you can create a to-do list for the day ahead.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

2. Stop procrastinating<\/strong><\/p>

There\u2019s always that one task that, for whatever reason, you keep avoiding. But such procrastination can be problematic. As a construction manager, you\u2019re limited on time as it is \u2013 and research has shown that, putting off these tasks can reduce your overall productivity for the rest of the day.<\/p>

Our advice is to do it first thing in the morning. Before you get sucked into your inbox or start making calls, get it out of the way. Start on the right foot and you\u2019re bound to get more done.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

3. Delegate jobs as much as possible<\/strong><\/p>

Delegation is a key time management skill. If you\u2019re surrounded by a team of employees, why struggle to do everything yourself? Especially if it could jeopardise the success of the project.<\/p>

Simply establish what needs to be completed each day and, wherever possible, offload jobs onto someone else. And if you\u2019re worried about tasks being done poorly or incorrectly, perhaps you could create a new training video and multiple-choice assessment via the MSite Workforce App.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

4. Plan your meetings<\/strong><\/p>

Direct-to-worker notifications can, of course, reduce the need for regular meetings. But if you feel like a face-to-face catch up with employees is necessary, be sure to create a meeting agenda.<\/p>

Figure out exactly what you wish to achieve beforehand. Be clear on the purpose of the gathering from the start. Try to keep the conversation on-topic and give employees direct, actionable items at the end. This is a very simple time management technique, but you\u2019ll be surprised how much of a difference it makes.<\/p>
