With UniPhi - One System for One Project 13 Organisation

The construction and infrastructure industry is fragmented and adversarial. This environment means it takes some legendary project leadership to steer the listing ship towards a successful outcome for as many stakeholders as possible. Even when achieved, will always be sub-optimal compared to the project operating in a more integrated fashion. 

 

Typical shape of a construction project

Project 13 has been developed to try and change this and along with the capable owner principle, one of the key other principles for integration is technology. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of value for software companies to invest in integrated supply chain systems for construction and infrastructure (which is very different to retail and manufacturing supply chains). The culture and contractual structure of the industries prevents the use of such a system. This is why most technology in the construction is bespoke and where collaboration is concerned, paves a cow path over old practices and workflows that have existed for generations.

UniPhi is the only solution on the market that can support end to end supply chain management for construction and infrastructure projects at such an affordable price that it can be used by any sized developer who manages to make themselves a capable owner. UniPhi's integrated solution supports the following end to end workflows into one database across the portfolio of projects for that owner:

1. Document collaboration that's so simple anyone can use it. Lets face it, all you want is the latest drawings/specifications that relate to your work right?  How hard can it be? For some reason, very hard, but not with UniPhi.
   
2. On-site data capture for anything including defects management, OHS processes, Toolbox talks, site photos and daily diaries.
3. Issues collaboration from Subbie to Architect to Owner -  the engine room of any integrated project team and the real value generator for capable owners.
4. Transparent extension of time, variation and progress invoicing assessment
5. Cost tracking at any level of the supply chain/ stakeholder group so all parties know their project position AT COMPLETION.
   
6. Earned value to assess progress and adjust the out turn cost.
   
7. Risk management where beneficial over and above the issues module above
   

In the meantime, while the industry focuses on digital twins and niche on-site applications, UniPhi can be tailored to provide support to our end users in whatever part of the construction value chain. These UniPhi customers save massive amounts of time, have all information at their fingertips and are never troubled by adversarial contract negotiations as day to day issues have been tracked on the ground.

Integration of people with technology

 

Once the value chain, or customer therein, has used the system for a year, they then start to get the benefits of AI, trained on their data to make sure the cottage industry transforms to an integrated high performing industry.
