The Benefits Of The Best Construction Project Management Software

The manager at a building site has a lot of responsibility, as he is expected to oversee the work done by all the subcontractors who are required to complete the building. Originally, this job was only given to someone who had gained much experience by working on a building site, as a general laborer, but universities now offer courses, or degrees, in relation to this type of management. This means that someone can study and acquire work as a manager without ever doing manual labor. It is beneficial if managers know how to use the best construction project management software.

Available for purchase, are several excellent computer programs for companies dealing with constructions. They are mostly used by the managers to help with the overall operation of tasks. The programs specifics vary. Some are more suitable for larger companies, while others are ideal for companies that handle smaller or fewer projects. Even an ordinary homeowner can purchase a program if managing the building or expansion of a home.

CAD in this industry stands for computer-aided drafting, and this refers to a program that helps engineers and architects to design a building. It helps to calculate many things, including the quantity of materials such as concrete that is required and how many hours the job will take to complete. The program does automatic updates as well.

Managers may have access to specific programs for their needs. For example, there are those that help to manage the large team of workers present on a building site. The electricians need to be called in at a certain time, as well as the plumbers and other skilled workers. General laborers need to be managed as well.

The managers are therefore assisted with the coordination of the subcontractors. This ensures that the work is carried out in the most efficient manner. Electrical connections, for example, need to be completed before the drywall is installed. Plumbers also need to be present early on in the building process.

Software is also useful for determining when specific building supplies will be required. The building materials must be ordered in advance so that work can continue without delay. The program is capable of tracking all orders a company makes. Keeping computerized notes of the money that is spent is very important too.

Nowadays, payroll accounting software is essential for any company, but building companies especially need to keep track of the wages for many subcontractors and workers. The hours worked by each person must be noted so that an accurate payment can be offered. Payroll taxes and additional expenditure will also be recorded with accounting programs.

A building company and its managers enjoy a large number of benefits when computer programs have been installed for their use. Since that information can be spread more easily between workers, communication is improved, and because everything is tracked, costs can be saved. A computer program is also essential for the storage of drawings, designs and specifications. Documents can therefore be more easily controlled. A few programs are equipped with functions such as RFID material tagging, time-clocks and GPS features.

Mageia 1 First Impressions possibly the best KDE 4 6 x distribution to date

When I first heard about Mageia I was not too bothered, if anything it was just going to be another Mandriva. Buggy, random crashes, poor 64-bit support and useless.

But that didnt stop me from trying it and what an amazing find it has turned out to be. From the installer to desktop, everything just works. The installer itself is also quite impressive with enough options to keep power users happy but at the same time well balanced to provide a pleasant experience for newbies.

Mageia 1 (64-Bit) with a customized KDE 4.6.x desktop

Going with the KDE 4.6.3 desktop, the experience is very nippy out of the box and in my view noticeably better than Kubuntu 11.04 > openSUSE 11.4 > Fedora 15 KDE.

When it comes to administering the system Mageia features an application called Mageia Control Center, which unlike openSUSEs YaST,  is more accessible, better laid out and not over complicated.

The Mageia Control Center - What YaST should have been!

And just like YaST, if you are not running in an X-server environment the Mageia Control Center has a text mode equivalent.

I have only had Mageia 1 (64-bit) on my system for a few hours but everything about this distribution has a quality feel. The art work, splash screens, the user experience, the easy to use central management application, the installation, the performance...its more than a job well done!

My only issue was the default Mageia customized KDE appearance was not to my liking and the oxygen-gtk engine was not installed by default, this meant GTK apps like Firefox were not blending well in KDE. An issue that was quick to fix but nonetheless could have been easily avoided by providing the oxygen-gtk engine by default which makes a lot of sense if you are going to bundle applications like Firefox and LibreOffice.

I am definitely keeping Mageia installed for a while longer to see if it meets my very simple needs but in any event I seriously believe this new and recent Linux distribution has a lot going for it regardless of its origins.

Mageia is not Mandriva, its better.

I would encourage anyone looking for a KDE distribution to take Mageia for a spin.
