Data Insights Drive Efficiency and On-Site Productivity

Project Overview

300 Manor Road is comprised of 355 new build apartments across three residential blocks in Canning Town, East London. The contract duration is two years (Aug 2022-July 2024) and involves circa 50,000 individual construction activities.  

Morgan Sindall Construction is part of Morgan Sindall Group plc, nine businesses who specialise in all elements of the built environment – construction, infrastructure, fit out, property services, housing, regeneration and development.

The Challenge

300 Manor Road’s scale and site constraints mean that the project is especially difficult to coordinate efficiently and effectively. Tangible, real-time understandings of the site and associated key performance indicators are difficult to derive, manage and optimise. 

Morgan Sindall Construction wanted to: 

• Obtain site analytics and derive KPIs to optimise processes. 

• Document relevant site data with ease of access for all relevant parties. 

• Gain a comprehensive real-time understanding of site performance. 

• Undertake more agile planning centred around a comprehensive, real-time understanding of the site. 

The Solution

Morgan Sindall Construction needed a solution that would provide them with a better understanding of what was happening onsite. Sablono provided:
         
Data insights 
Sablono provided the project team with the ability to accurately capture any relevant site data in a single system and connect this with Power BI models to drive automated insights. The project team were thus empowered to be able to track their performance and deep dive into their production data to optimise the jobsite. 
 

Visual tracking 
Sablono provided visual tracking of highly complex elements to assist in better understanding the project and improving collaboration. Site drawings were converted into automated visual trackers that updated in real-time to give a clear view of the project’s progress. 
 

Real-time tracking and Lean Planning 
Sablono unlocked real-time tracking of tens of thousands of activities across the project team, subcontractors and supply chain. Morgan Sindall Construction were able to track the project down to the most granular detail and filter by area, status, deliverable and team. This equipped the team to be able to plan ahead with greater agility.
