“Do you know that construction project management encompasses 120 responsibilities on an average?” – The Construction Management Association of America report.
Effectively managing and executing every responsibility in a construction project is crucial to attain success. It is easier said than done. If you need to make sure that each responsibility is on track, then you should monitor if every contractor, supplier, and architect adhere to the laid budget and schedule and comply with the policies and procedures. Doing this manually can be time-consuming and moreover inefficient creating unnecessary delays and cost overruns. This can be alarming.
However, construction project management has become lighter with fully automated software like KYRO. KYRO is an AI-powered construction project management software with built-in capabilities for project management, field safety and productivity, inspections and audit, insightful analytics and reports, and AI support.
Construction projects require multiple components to work together from budgeting, manpower management, to procurement and more. With an ocean of tasks, construction companies prioritize estimating the needed budget, timeline, and labor and they do this either manually using pen and paper or an Excel. However, the construction firms get work done and complete their projects, but how successful these projects were is a question.
These companies experience inefficiencies, cost overruns, setbacks, contractor conflicts and more that hinder or delay their success which could have been achieved a lot more easier if they deployed a construction project management software like KYRO.
Apart from operating consistently while complying with regulatory policies and ethical principles, the core values that drive success for any construction company and how KYRO helps you with it is listed below:
Safety: Safety of employees is number one priority for any construction company and they strive for zero incidents. They create safety checklists to make sure their companies adhere to OSHA guidelines but how effectively it is executed with an Excel or a paper. You’ll be limited to capture the exact challenge or pain point in either implementing the safety measures or accidents causing scenarios like equipment or harness failure using a paper or Excel.
KYRO helps resolve this by enabling your employees to take photos and upload in their daily reports in addition to safety checklists built-in as a part of the construction site workflow. As you are aware of improper safety measures, you can take diligent actions immediately.
Team management: Great teams make dreams work and we are aware that teamwork is the key to successful projects. But managing your construction crew (quality surveyors, labors, masons, architects, and engineers) over a paper can be chaotic as they’ll not have clear role definitions and what responsibilities each of them hold. Moreover, in some cases there can be overlaps whereas in few others collaboration is crucial.
Effective team management is critical for any project’s success and KYRO can help you achieve that with its ready-to-use workflows. You can easily assign tasks to your employees and notify them from where you are (along with timelines) and when accomplished, they can share their daily reports and status messages directly from the site.

Project management: Construction project management is essential for ensuring efficient team coordination, prudent resources allocation, and timely tasks completion. It requires effective communication to avoid delays, biases, and gaps, ultimately leading to successful project outcomes. Manually doing this can be time-consuming and requires a lot of effort as you may need to do a lot of things at the same time. KYRO being a fully automated construction management software, it helps minimize human errors, eliminates communication gaps, and accurately defines the scope of work and costs involved.
With reports and real-time data in hand, you can easily track the project progress and bottlenecks and address these issues.

The AI Copilot feature gives instant insights about your project financials, resource utilization, employee performance and compliance reports at your fingertips using which you gain complete control over your projects and optimize operations for maximum growth.
Open communication: Bridging the gap between office and field is crucial to align every stakeholder towards a common goal. Oftentimes, site workers are forced to visit offices miles away to share updates. On the other hand, office workers may lack visibility into what’s happening on field. KYRO helps address this challenge by enabling field workers to share voice notes in their native language and office workers can receive the transcribed version. This feature enables even layman to leverage the software and keep their updates posted on time. Plus, they can also send image markups which helps in emphasizing the nature and severity of the issue. These features empower office workers get complete visibility into every individual’s performance and work statuses.
