3 Envision a clear view Envision is a powerful, integrated, web-based construction management solution that delivers measurably greater value for complex construction projects in the infrastructure, resources and building sectors. It enables best-practice project management through unparalleled information capture, collaboration and control. Leveraging web-based and mobile technology, it involves your entire project team with intuitive, practical workflows that simplify existing processes. It empowers rapid decision-making as daily field updates connect to a central system, delivering reliable, near real-time automated and on-demand reporting. This transparency drives improved productivity and minimises waste. It ensures greater cost, time and reputation value for managing the construction of complex physical assets. Features Activities drive the progress of planned Activities; synchronise field dates, quantities, labour and progress with scheduled Activities for rigorous, more effective critical path analysis Events capture unplanned Events, link them to Activities and share them immediately with project teams and clients/representatives; record resource impacts; generate commercial documentation Tasks plan and track the work needed to complete Activities and Events; create linked forums for collaboration and resolution of specific design or construction issues Envision is a state-ofthe-art technical solution without equal...your single source of truth. Work board and task board encourage regular review and collaboration through a simple view of planned, in-progress and completed work; minimise idle time, out-of-sequence work and double-handling; assign ownership to responsible personnel (e.g. design leaders and supervisors) Project timeline (log) view progress and updates across the entire project, with easy navigation capability to specific dates; search through a project s history; capture and track resolution of design issues Resources use record and reconcile supplier dockets for people, equipment and materials Registers track on and off-site progress using gate-based rules-of-credit including design and off-shore procurement Work and supervisor rosters assign appropriate trades, plant and equipment to supervisors; manage team roster cycles and automate standard time entry with defined roster rules Notices generate commercial notices and other templated documents (e.g. RFIs, quality, safety and environmental reports, improvement opportunities) using project-specific formats Dashboards generate charts of project metrics including progress, resource breakdown, Event type, and planned percentage complete Multi-project groups use multi-site reports that aggregate key metrics, images and charts Leaderboards track high-level performance of individuals, reward excellence, promote skill development, and accelerate behavioural change Reports create templated reports from an extensive library; display progress, labour, equipment, charts, photos, site diaries, etc; access detailed productivity and exception reports Earned Value Performance Measurement measure and report performance and identify trends using established Earned Value Methods Production control (daily costs) improve productivity and profitability by tracking and charting daily costs against target costs Timesheets and attendances enter, track, approve and reject time for people and equipment; allocate time directly against Activities and Events; validate timesheets against attendance; manage site resourcing with exception reports 3

4 4 Web and mobile accessibility Envision leverages mobile and web technology so you can make project information available to everyone, based on defined authority levels. This mobilises the power of your entire workforce, unlocking your schedule and creating a rich, single source of truth. Envision supports major mobile and web platforms and enables diverse work practices and collaboration with all staff including design office, procurement and site office staff and subcontractors.
