How fit-out contractors are maximising business opportunities

Fit-out Contractors are an essential part of property development and are responsible for transforming empty shells into usable spaces that are tailored to specific design requirements. 

Whether they’re working on residential, commercial or industrial projects, fit-out specialists will deliver functional and aesthetically pleasing environments that are visually appealing, practical and efficient for the intended use.

Fit-out companies offer a range of services, including interior construction, finishes and furnishings and specialist installation services for industries such as hospitality, retail, or healthcare, which can include joinery, shelving and bespoke items.

There are many moving parts to any fit-out project, and fit out contractors tend to deliver a high volume of projects at various locations with multiple teams.  So to ensure successful delivery every time for their customers, they should implement  a project management system that will support their ambitions and drive their business forward. It is critical for their continual business growth.

At WorkSavi, we specialise in supporting fit-out contractors to maximise business opportunities, here’s how… 

Discover the most important tool for fit-out contractors 

The most important tool in a fit-out contractor’s arsenal is an effective project management platform. 

With the right support, you can easily streamline processes for project delivery, resource management, forecasting and budgeting, whilst ensuring standards in compliance and health and safety are adhered to. This is where WorkSavi can help your business excel. 

How WorkSavi is helping fit-out companies transform project management processes to ensure organisational success

WorkSavi is the most agile tool for project management and we specialise in working with fit-out companies to improve processes across every business function. Here are some of the ways we’re supporting our clients… 

We help fit-out companies improve team coordination and delivery schedules

Fit-out projects often involve multiple trades and suppliers, each with specific tasks and timelines. 

The WorkSavi platform is designed to help you effectively manage timelines and delivery plans and ensure your entire team, including stakeholders and third-party contractors, have a clear understanding of responsibilities, requirements and deadlines. 

Using workflow templates to automate processes, we make it easy for you to manage everything, including resources, supply chain and materials.  Fit out contractors tend to deliver similar repeatable processes, which may vary slightly with each customer and project type.  Within WorkSavi, workflow templates can be generated to accommodate all those variables so that when faced with a similar project type in the future the project can be generated in an instant, along with all the PM tools and templates, such as risk and issue templates, actions and decisions (RAID) and cost plans for example are immediately generated also.  The Project, or Site, Manager has all the tools in place for success.

You will also have full visibility and total control, so if you need to make adjustments to delivery plans, you can do so easily and efficiently and keep your teams fully updated at each phase of the project. 

We help fit-out contractors improve forecasting and cost management 

Fit-out projects can be expensive, and costs can quickly spiral out of control without careful monitoring. The WorkSavi platform boasts forecasting features that help you plan more accurately, reduce waste and optimise resources and budget. 

You will also have access to unique trackers with process learning, taking learnings from past projects and help to identify trends for current and future projects. This means you can easily spot and avoid potential problems that could lead to delays and costs escalating.

We help fit-out businesses to improve efficiency and productivity 

With WorkSavi, you’ll have access to effective workflow management tools that help streamline processes and ensure your entire team is working consistently and to preferred standards. 

You will have complete visibility of all projects in one place, too. This is especially beneficial if you’re managing multiple teams over several locations, as you will be able to monitor and assess performance at all times. 

We help fit-out contractors improve risk management processes

The WorkSavi platform is an intuitive and powerful system that helps project managers in the fit-out industry to proactively identify potential risks and implement mitigation strategies that will prevent disruption.

This insight empowers businesses to act quickly when contingency plans are needed so that they can pivot plans to avoid delays and additional costs, or capture opportunities that have been presented. 

We help fit-out businesses and contractors remain compliant

It’s essential that all fit-out activities comply with health and safety regulations to ensure the protection of workers and reduce the risk of accidents.

In addition, you need to ensure that your business is compliant and that all work is completed in accordance with building codes and other legal requirements to avoid fines and legal issues.

With WorkSavi, H&S governance is incorporated into the workflow processes as BAU. WorkSavi has full document storage to ensure your team has access to important paperwork, certificates and latest drawings. With all your project requirements in place for every new project, your key project milestones, costs, budgets, cash flows, risk, snagging, H&S, quality data feeds directly into your BI, which can be shared appropriately with the relevant stakeholders.

You can also set up key notifications for important milestones and ensure protocol is adhered to at all times. 

How fit-out contractors are using WorkSavi to win business 

WorkSavi’s customers have access to dynamic reporting that enables you to track the metrics that are most important to you and their stakeholders.

By using one system to track all activity, you’ll be able to use reports as case studies and insight reports to demonstrate how well your business operates, learn from previous projects so that you can deliver current and future projects on time and to budget, forecast more accurately, and effectively manage resources across multiple projects and locations. 

Our Portfolio and Project Plans have excellent reporting features, however, if you have bespoke requirements, we can create custom-built project management software via our Enterprise Solution.
