PlanAccess360 vs Traditional Job Management
In the good old days, there were handwritten notebooks, drawings, financial ledgers and a whole lot of binders and paper documentation to manage in order to get your excavation project underway.
Thankfully times have moved on and there is a competitive variety of works management platforms all built to help improve the management of your construction and excavation projects. Along with these platforms, there has also been the recent emergence of some innovative solutions to integrate key parts of the construction and excavation project that traditionally take place outside of the works management platform, with third parties such as utility asset owners and BYDA.
Enter PlanAccess360 a complete end to end solution to manage and integrate the practicalities and compliance of building and working near underground utility assets in or near your project excavation site.
Automated BYDA Enquiry Input:
PlanAccess360 leverages advanced automation technology to eliminate the need for double entry of job site details into BYDA as well as your own works management platform. By removing this need you reduce the risk of interpretation errors that often occur and can cause problems at the construction phase of the project. By automating your BYDA utility plan requests the platform ensures that all the critical information is captured accurately and in real-time. This not only saves time and resources but also enhances data integrity. It provides stakeholders in the design, planning and construction phase of your projects with reliable insights into utility network location data and specific safe work requirements to inform decision making.
Enhanced Collaboration:
Collaboration is key to successful damage prevention initiatives, and PlanAccess360 facilitates seamless communication and collaboration among project stakeholders.
It has a centralised platform to collate and store utility asset owner plans for individual or multiple jobs, with integrated built in communication tools team members can easily share information, exchange feedback, and coordinate efforts in real time.
