Electronic Building Manuals, made simple

PROFILE Procom Solutions Electronic Building Manuals, made simple.

Whilst the Building & Construction Industry is constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and eco-friendly construction, it is unquestionably a slow adopter of software and technology, generally lagging behind other industries.

Procom Solutions has developed an innovative, lowcost platform that facilitates, collaborates, and creates digital Building Manuals more efficiently and effectively than conventional means. The platform encourages stakeholders to proactively review throughout the project, eliminating the influx of information to review upon completion. With Procom, Building Manuals are more accurate, professional, and completed on or before Practical Completion, avoiding potential exposure and liability regarding OH&S, warranties, and misuse of plant and equipment.

In recent years, we at Procom Solutions have seen an increase in the advocacy for construction software and witnessed companies responding to these needs. As a result, companies become more effective and efficient, driving customer satisfaction and industry competence, delivering measurable through time, quality and cost improvements.

In order to survive in this competitive market and remain as pioneers in the industry, companies are required to create efficiencies within their operations by differentiating from competitors. Procom does this, delivering a professional customised experience which will enhance your brand and create efficiencies. Hence, differentiation and efficiencies are achieved through the power of innovative and ever-evolving software.

attempt to improve and standardise Electronic Building Manuals within the industry. This has created industry concern around the potential increase in cost to comply with these requirements. Paradoxically, it is through the adoption of disruptive technology that benefits and cost savings are achieved.

A survey conducted revealed that contractors are not aware of, and do not track the time and effort required to prepare and produce Building Manuals. It further indicated that companies spend an average of 0.00125% of the total project costs to prepare and collate the required documentation for Building Manuals. For instance, a $40M project would end up spending circa $50K in resources to generate the Building Manual. Interestingly, these costs are rarely captured, tracked, or even realised. Time that could be used for higher value adding is unnecessarily consumed in this process, this is where you can gain efficiency within the business through the use of the Procom. Procom has proven to generate cost savings by reducing resource output, lowering overall project duration, and allowing valuable resources to be focused on the right activities and new opportunities.

The most successful companies in the world have strong visions and clear purposes to change the world. At Procom, we strongly believe in adding value to our contractors, consultants, and clients, by shaping the way Building Manuals are produced nationally.

Procom is well-poised and will continue to deliver on this mission, partnering with our customers and driving continuous innovation. The move to producing Electronic Building Manuals, given the benefits, is becoming more common within the industry as more clients are requesting consultants for digital Building Manuals. Whether you are a Consultant, Contractor or Client, there is no better time than now to contact Procom Solutions for a demonstration on how our innovative technology can provide value to your business and the broader industry.
