Tracking progress for different areas of installation on a project can be tricky. While project schedules are helpful, they’re often static and don’t contain real-time info on a project. On top of that, some teams or subcontractors track their own updates independently, leaving other stakeholders out of the loop. This lack of connectivity and collaboration can cause wasted time and avoidable delays.
