If there’s a silver lining to the pervasively gloomy situation in the construction industry, it is the greater adoption of technology.

Once a nice-to-have aspect of this high-volume, low-margin industry, continued adoption of construction technologies is now gaining ground at an impressively rapid pace. This is ideal, as organizations are crunched by labor shortages, cost hikes, and the impacts of non-value-added activities, challenging their efficiency to tap the growing demand curve.

“At times like these, equipping construction companies with the right-fit technologies and lean construction practices can enhance their operational excellence, allowing them to stay relevant and competitive,” says Louis Parent, president of Builthink Consultants.

Thanks to the construction consultancy specialist Builthink Consultants, contractors are no longer utterly clueless about the technologies and practices that add value to their operations.
Founded in 2018, Builthink Consultants combines its extensive industry experience and expertise in lean construction principles to help clients establish the best processes and provide them with operational efficiency. The company’s team of industry experts assists, advises, and supports clients to maximize performance through digital transformation and the application of innovative practices. This allows clients to reduce construction costs, improve turnaround times, and optimize performance.

“At Builthink Consultants, we always strive to go the extra mile to provide clients with the right technology for the right reason,” states Parent.

Builthink Consultants’ comprehensive portfolio for the construction industry encompasses three key interrelated services. The company excels in equipping clients with lean construction principles, bringing more efficiency to their business operations. By providing clients with the right technology for the right reason, team Builthink Consultants bridges the gap between lean construction and technology, creating a paradigm shift to the industry. The company also gives training on lean construction and how clients can leverage technology to transform their business. To that end, Builthink Consultants aspires to launch an academy where it will holistically provide the training and lay the foundation for supporting clients on various operational and technological levels.

Committed to delivering the best value, Builthink Consultants often begins its client engagement with a one-day training on lean construction concepts. This helps businesses to have a common vocabulary for everyone participating to easily comprehend its suggestions and recommendations. The company then performs in-depth audits and assessments to create a value stream mapping of customers’ operations and performance. Clients also receive a future map that serves as the foundation for final proposals and solutions.

By mapping clients’ operations, Builthink Consultants identifies value-added and non-value-added activities and creates a plan to maximize their performance. The firm has also developed a questionnaire comprising 250 questions that help delve deep into their future technological and operational requirements. As a result, its technological recommendations are tailored for clients’ present and future needs.

Builthink Consultants’ ability to provide personalized attention to each customer has helped it garner a broad clientele. In one instance, the firm assisted a corporation struggling to coordinate various offices across the U.S. and Canada. The customer was unable to connect all the workspaces and operate synchronously, negatively impacting their overall performance. When Builthink Consultants came onboard, it created a value-stream mapping and used their best practices in every location to establish a company-wide process strategy. They could eliminate the existing silos and establish better communication, resulting in increased operational efficiency. The company also put together a plan to select and implement an ERP with an integration to a collaborative construction platform project management and the use of the last planner system to help them deliver projects on time.

Be it owners and developers with a construction project, architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, or installers in the construction industry, the firm’s distinct operational style and commitment to supplying the highest standard services help every client maximize their potential. This makes the firm a leading choice for construction companies aiming to uplift their productivity and efficiency today and in the future.
