Risk Management Solutions, Innovations and Technologies By Don Neff, President, LJP Construction Services Advancements in digital technology, automated systems and lean production processes are impacting all aspects of the construction industry. Home builders keeping up with current trends in automation and efficiency logically incorporate these elements into their delivery and workflow systems for proactive risk management. Reducing build cycle time, lowering indirect proj- ect costs and building high-quality homes are ongoing challenges for builders today. LJP Construction Services can help their builder clients overcome these chal- lenges and meet their production goals by providing a customized quality assurance program that incorporates digital data capture and job site analysis along with automated reporting. CaptureQA ® , developed by LJP Construction Services, can change the way builders and construction managers survey, assess and respond to construc- tion project needs and potential problem areas in the field. The innovative and pro- prietary quality assurance app is designed to identify trending problems before they become systemic and con- nects the field to the office with same- day reporting. With CaptureQA, key metrics can be tracked with deep dive analytics including open items by trade and assembly, root causes of the open items, aging of open items, aver- age close out times by assembly and trade, critical versus non- critical assemblies, field sched- uling problems and project vari- ations within a division and between divisions. This can also include three-way analyses – metrics of a single project, metrics from a portfo- lio of projects and metrics from the competitive market of comparison projects. The ability to characterize and track trade contractor workmanship for key assemblies on current and past projects can help improve decision- making processes for future projects across the company from purchasing to customer service. Common causes of construction issues include deficiencies in field work- manship, misinterpretation of plan details and deviations from manufacturers' rec- ommendations. LJP's experienced and trained field team members, armed with the power of CaptureQA, can iden- tify and differentiate the root cause and assist builders in identifying high risk items. If there are defi- ciencies documented throughout the construction process, the asso- ciated reporting and metrics can highlight them and help ensure the failure is not repeated. In challenging markets with trades spread thin, job sites frequently have different trade personnel from day to day. CaptureQA reports and data analy- sis received in real time that identifies what is being performed, and more importantly, how well it is being per- formed, will provide a higher-level overview and coupled with detailed per- formance metrics will drive up quality and accountability.
