鈥淲e eliminate the chain reaction of delays that occurs when contractors drive to the building site in vain鈥 says HusCompagniet of the European collaboration they have formed with GenieBelt. In 2018, HusCompagniet will use GenieBelt on 2,000 home building projects.

Better synchronisation between contractors in terms of task planning and project objectives are some of the key elements that will allow Northern Europe鈥檚 leading home provider to save up to 15% during the home building process.

鈥楿nfortunately, building contractors often drive to sites in vain because they depend on another trade to finish before them. The slightest delay in one activity results in a chain reaction of delays that can now be avoided鈥, underlines Morten Chrone, Group COO at HusCompagniet.

Digital technologies drive already a groundbreaking shift in the way the building sector works. Many misunderstandings and costly delays can now be avoided thanks to better coordination between the construction site and the office.
As Morten Chrone explains:

鈥楳odern construction workers want to work with companies that use digital technologies to make their work more transparent and efficient. And modern buyers want to be an integrated part of their dream project – and they want to use all the information gathered in the building process when they start their new life鈥.

The role of GenieBelt

In GenieBelt, we are, of course, very proud and excited for our partnership with one of Europe鈥檚 leading home providers. The partnership will cover all projects of HusCompagniet in Denmark, Germany and Sweden.

HusCompagniet has outsourced the actual construction phase to trusted long-term contractors but by engaging in this partnership with GenieBelt, they can now manage the construction phase as seamlessly as their front-end activities. In HusCompagniet, we have found a customer that fully shares our belief that this industry holds enormous potential for those who are ready to change the way they collaborate, communicate and build鈥, says Ulrik Branner, CEO at GenieBelt.
Morten Chrone adds that for HusCompagniet, GenieBelt is regarded as the digital backbone of the building process:

鈥楪enieBelt will form the digital backbone of our construction processes and will be integrated with our existing digital tools. We will be able to benefit from further efficiency gains and secure the data we generate on approx. 2,000 projects in 2018. In the short term, we build faster and better, but we also have a platform for analyzing and learning 鈥 all in all a huge benefit to our customers鈥.

HusCompagniet had tried GenieBelt platform for half a year before they proceed with their final decision.

鈥榃hat GenieBelt has done right, unlike anyone else who has tried, is to invent a new system that all parties could apply. It’s a form of consolidation tool they’ve made. When a tradesperson finishes his part, he just has to take a picture and show it to the group鈥, says Morten Chrone at .

鈥楤ut it鈥檚 amazing that the schedule you work with in GenieBelt is dynamic and constantly updated. That sort of thing had previously to be printed and there was a lot of uncertainty as to whether it was the latest version that people were working with鈥, .

Lower prices for the clients

It goes without saying that, the projected efficiency gains for Northern Europe鈥檚 leading home provider is great news for the clients. A less complex and more profitable construction process will eventually result in lower prices for them and will empower the supply chain in the building sector.
that the value of this productivity boost will soon have a very positive impact on the client prices:

鈥楿ltimately, the project gains will be pushed out to clients. At HusCompagniet we have always pushed any profits we could get out to our customers. If we started keeping greater profits to ourselves, it would be an invitation to competitors. For us it is important that once we have promised a house to a client within a given timeframe, we can hold that promise鈥.

Project complexity in construction

Truth is that the potential for the industry is huge as long as we actively try to improve communication and reporting processes. This is where digital tools, such as GenieBelt, can provide indispensable service.

A survey conducted by last February reveals the full size of the problem. As reported by , 80% of construction and maintenance painters who participate in enterprise projects experience significant delays due to poor coordination and mistakes made by other project stakeholders.

Another source of great frustration for construction and maintenance painters is related to the fact that often they aren鈥檛 invited to the initial on-site meetings, while many feel that their ideas and objections aren鈥檛 taken seriously.
In principle, digital tools should be able to alleviate this type of problems or, at least, make it easier for the distinct project members to be taken into account. But many companies often use different operating systems and tools that don鈥檛 connect project agents in a simple and straightforward way. This is where GenieBelt can help!

Wrapping it up!

For GenieBelt, this is the beginning of an exciting journey. The effort to empower transparency, collaboration and project intelligence in construction continues and 聽HusCompagniet is a valuable ally in this demanding but very rewarding process.
