"After using CONQA for the last 5 Years we have found it to be a very easy and user-friendly way to manage Foley's QA processes. Having new features like Issues gives us another way to capture any re-work or alterations that are needed. Being able to simply assign Issues to the correct person instantly, in an easy to use method, is proving to be very helpful in all aspects of managing our project."

Why proper defect management in construction projects matters
In the construction industry working with numerous stakeholders, tight deadlines and budgets, construction projects can easily become prone to defects and miscommunication. Effective defect management is essential to ensuring that these defects are identified and resolved promptly, thereby safeguarding the quality and timely delivery of the project.
CONQA's new Issues feature offers a streamlined approach to defect management, allowing construction teams to capture, track, and resolve defects efficiently. By centralising quality assurance efforts and fostering clear communication among all parties involved, CONQA can significantly enhance the overall project management experience.

How real-time notifications improve defect resolution
One of the key benefits of Issues is its real-time notification system. It offers timely interventions that are crucial to prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems. Real-time notifications ensure that all team members are instantly alerted to any pending issues, enabling proactive management.
With instant alerts, site managers, consultants, trade contractors, and site engineers can quickly address defects as they are identified. This immediate feedback loop encourages prompt action and helps maintain the project's quality standards. Additionally, real-time notifications minimise the risk of unresolved issues, ensuring that no defect goes unnoticed.

"CONQA's new feature allows you to raise Issues directly from the site, in the app. This means I no longer have to email the recipients and saves a lot of double handling."

Centralised data management for streamlined QA processes
Managing quality assurance activities can be cumbersome when relying on disparate lists and email chains. Issues means that all your QA data is now centralised and provides a single source of truth for all QA efforts. This consolidation simplifies defect tracking and resolution, making the process more straightforward and less prone to errors.
By integrating all QA activities into one comprehensive platform, construction teams can quickly identify and address issues before they escalate. This centralised approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances accountability, as every issue is recorded against the project in real-time. The transparent audit trail created by this system offers valuable insights into the project's progress and areas for improvement.

Easy communication and collaboration for everyone on the project
With multiple teams working on various aspects of a project, ensuring everyone is on the same page can be challenging. Issues creates an environment of open and transparent communication by providing a clear trail of all issues and their status.
Having real-time visibility encourages a more cohesive and efficient team dynamic and ultimately improves project outcomes. Easy communication and collaboration makes defect management simple and helps to avoid unnecessary blame on team members, strengthening their relationships.
API with Microsoft Power BI
Connect Issues with your Microsoft Power BI via the API. This integration allows construction teams to pull live data directly from Issues providing real-time insights into the project's status.
By connecting CONQA Issues with Power BI, teams can create customised dashboards that display key metrics and trends. This data-driven approach enables informed decision-making and helps identify areas for improvement. The ability to access live data ensures that everyone is always up-to-date on the project's progress, further enhancing transparency and accountability.
Maximising project outcomes with proactive Quality Assurance
Proactive quality assurance is essential for delivering construction projects that meet or exceed client expectations. The Issues feature supports this proactive approach by allowing teams to record, track, and resolve defects in real-time. The feature's notification system ensures that all stakeholders are informed and accountable, keeping quality at the forefront throughout the project lifecycle.
Now construction teams can reduce the likelihood of delays and additional costs due to snags and defects. The audit trail provided by Issues offers valuable insights that can be used to implement best practices and continuously improve quality standards. Ultimately, this proactive approach to quality assurance enhances the reputation and competitiveness of trade contractors in the market.
