Digitalization Reduces Construction Project Duration by 21%. Lean Planning Optimizes Contractors and Construction Sites, Streamlining Processes.
Technological modernization is revolutionizing processes in the construction industry, bringing more efficiency and speed to projects. With the implementation of new tools and software, contractors can significantly reduce project delivery times, optimizing the construction period by up to 21%. Moreover, digitalization allows for better resource management, resulting in greater productivity and technology in construction.
Developers have been leveraging the advantages of digital transformation to accelerate project processes and ensure timely delivery. With the adoption of a Lean plan, construction sites become more efficient and organized, speeding up construction stages. Thus, technology becomes an ally for companies in the sector, enhancing results and improving competitiveness in the construction market.
Technology in Construction: Reducing Deadlines
The use of technology in the planning phase of construction is reducing project timelines by up to 21%. This is the case of the engineering office Joal Teitelbaum, for example, which managed to reduce its project schedule by 18% — equivalent to a total of six and a half months less within the initially stipulated 36 months for the project.

The most overlooked waste in the electricity bill doesn’t come from the refrigerator or the air conditioner; it escapes through almost invisible cracks in doors and windows, operating all day long and can steal up to 20% of the energy used for climate control, while a low-cost seal takes just a few hours to eliminate this loss.
For the teams at the developer Sollarys, the activity of rescheduling the project timeline required a full day of work (8 hours) to complete — and, with the use of the software, this task is now done in just 30 minutes, 16 times faster than before. ‘Industry professionals who used the tool achieved an 18% gain in operational efficiency.
Lean Planning in Construction
To this end, the specialized planning software Prevision uses the ‘Lean’ methodology (known as ‘lean construction’ in Portuguese), a planning technique that assists contractors and developers in defining necessary resources, deadlines, schedules, and project costs.
‘This allows us to better understand how activities will unfold over the scheduled time,’ explains Paula Lunardelli, executive director and founder of Prevision. The technology also facilitates communication on the construction site and the routine of employees, as it allows real-time visualization of project phases and the resources being used.
Construsummit 2024: Management and Technology in Construction
The use of technology in project planning will be the subject of Construsummit 2024, a management and technology event aimed at the Construction Industry, organized by the Technological Ecosystem of the Construction Industry of Softplan.
