Balancing Risk and Cost to Make Projects Survive Severe Weather

Buildings collapsing due to storms, heavy rainfall, floods and other natural calamities highlight the significance of the steps that require to be incorporated in building projects that can actually withstand and survive severe weather conditions. Contractors need to focus on the precautionary steps that must be taken in order to protect buildings from natural hazards.

It is important to invest money on the prevention measures than at remedial works after a calamity. Just as Network Rail that has been asked by the Office of Rail Regulation to make sure that each region of the UK offers climate resilience plan by September this year, it is essential that proper plan is followed and remedial factors are focused. According to the Highways Agency, preventive measures are a priority now in relation to climate change adaptation.

The precautionary measures should strike a balance between risk and cost. It is of course a matter of debate as to check the probability of an event to take expensive preventive steps or the same expense should be invested elsewhere. With the increasing problem of heavy rain and floods recently, clients want to ensure the safety and protect their assets.

Contractors can take various steps to help-out clients. For an attractive bid, contractors should make it clear to the potential client that the whole-life cost of a project has been calculated and the weather conditions have been modeled and considered.

They can also set their business apart by offering advice on strengthening all kinds of construction projects against adverse weather conditions. Thus they can leave behind a legacy for the future generation with a bridge, rail, road, infrastructure system etc. that have survived the worst weather conditions.

Go Figure, the latest mobile based application, can make a revolution in construction estimating process

A new mobile based application known as Go Figure Estimating Application launched by a Massachusetts company that will make a sea change in the construction estimates.

The developer teams of Go Figure consist of contractors for contractors, insurance adjusters, roofing, siding window vendors and more. The software helps the construction estimator to get rid of complicated and time consuming procedures of precisely estimating construction projects and quantify, cost and systematize construction projects 15 to 20 times faster.

Snap a picture of any construction through your iPad and select an item like carpentry, roofing, painting or any of the hundreds of other preloaded jobs from dropdown lists. After that locate the regions to be calculated on the touchscreen. The Go Figure will estimate every dimension of the construction, combine the quantities and generate easily accessible worksheets to work out costs. When the users select from the dropdown menu every time, then it will automatically put in contract language into a proposal.

The software also includes uncomplicated point and shoot interface involving the automatic proposal and stock-list generation which produce a commanding platform to simplify any construction project. The mobile printing package facilitates contractors to take print of the professional proposals on site.
