Case #1: Optimization of Real Estate Project Construction



A real estate company manages the construction of a residential complex. The project involves multiple phases, from initial planning to the final delivery of residential units.

The team uses Kanban to track the construction stages, while the Gantt chart plans the schedule. Automation sends crucial notifications, such as for inspections. Final analyses assess performance and expenses at each stage, demonstrated by the progressive construction of the apartments.

Tool Usage:

Task Management via Kanban:

The team uses a Kanban board to track various construction-related tasks. Each stage of the process, from site preparation to unit finishing, is represented by cards in the Kanban board, with columns like "Planning," "Construction," "Finishing," "Inspection," and "Delivery."

Timeline Planning via Gantt Chart:

The Gantt chart is used to plan construction activities on a timeline. Each construction phase, planned start and end dates, as well as dependencies between tasks, are clearly visualized.

Process Automation:

The tool is configured to automate certain notifications and reminders, such as key deadlines for specific approvals, regular inspections, or necessary approvals at each construction stage.

Analysis and Reporting:

The team utilizes analysis and reporting features to assess project progress. They generate regular reports on work progress, potential delays, allocated and spent budgets, as well as the performance of suppliers and subcontractors.

Concrete Use Case:

Construction of a Project Phase:

Step 1 (Kanban): The team creates cards in the Kanban board for each stage of constructing a series of apartments. These cards move through the Kanban columns as each phase progresses, from site preparation to unit finishing.

Step 2 (Gantt Chart): Details of each construction phase are added to the Gantt chart. Task interdependencies, such as plumbing completion before flooring work begins, are clearly depicted.

Automation: When the construction phase reaches the "Inspection" column in the Kanban board, an automated notification is sent to the inspection team to schedule an on-site visit.

Analysis and Reporting: At the end of each construction phase, the team generates an analysis report to evaluate performance, potential delays, and expenses against the allocated budget for that phase.
