As a strategic partner of the Polish Chamber of Civil Engineers (PIIB), KraftCode developed the KNPKB web application to replace complex Excel sheets. This solution streamlines labor estimation for construction managers, making the process faster, easier, and more accurate, ensuring reliable cost assessments.
Benefits of Implementing KNPKB
Precise Time and Resource Management : KNPKB enables construction managers to accurately determine the work hours required for each project stage. This allows for effective planning and allocation of human and financial resources, ensuring timely project completion while preventing budget overruns.
Optimization of the Estimation Process : The application significantly reduces the time needed to prepare cost estimates and work plans. Its intuitive interface and advanced algorithms minimize errors, allowing for fast and precise calculations.
Enhancing the Value of the Construction Manager’s Role : By providing a structured and transparent valuation process, KNPKB increases the recognition of construction managers’ work. This tool helps fairly assess labor costs, elevating the market perception of their role.
Development Process
KraftCode began the project with an in-depth analysis of construction managers’ needs to understand their challenges and expectations. The application was designed with a strong focus on user experience, prioritizing intuitive navigation and ease of use. Modern technologies were implemented to ensure precise labor and cost calculations at every stage of the project. Beta testing with PIIB members allowed for the refinement of key features.
Key Features of KNPKB
Labor Estimation: Accurately determines the number of work hours required for each project stage.
Clear Data Presentation: Lists all necessary tasks, minimizing the risk of omissions.
Cost Estimation: Provides precise calculations for construction manager employment costs.
Resource Planning: Facilitates efficient human resource allocation.
Implementation Results
KNPKB has been well received by PIIB members, who appreciate its functionality and ease of use. The tool simplifies estimate preparation and work planning while significantly improving construction managers’ efficiency. As a result, PIIB has strengthened its position as a leader in construction industry innovation, and the #ModernEngineer strategy has gained new momentum.
