Building without nasty surprises
Did you know that around 60% of all construction projects are completed late and over budget? Or that 30% of construction costs arise solely from rework – often due to misunderstandings, unclear responsibilities or a lack of communication?
And even after a project is complete, half of all maintenance activities are in response to avoidable problems.
As these figures show, the greatest risk does not lie in the construction execution stage, but instead arises from a lack of structure during the preceding process. Many people are unaware that a large part of these risks can be avoided – with the right digital tools.
Bringing communications, tasks, documentation and decisions together in one place reduces misunderstandings, makes processes clearer and allows projects to be implemented more efficiently and transparently.
smino was developed to address precisely these needs, with a specific focus on the requirements for public building projects. We know what it means to achieve great things with limited resources – and how important it is to keep a clear overview.
