Owners pay the highest price for facilities that do not get finished on time with a high level of quality. The owner has to deal with the structure for its lifetime and the stakes are very high. IPD contracts and BIM are becoming common as requirements for use on projects and owners are leading these changes. They do so because they see the benefits of requiring project teams to work together closely to improve efficiency and communication between parties. LATISTA Field provides a platform that further enables the project stakeholders to work more closely together on Quality and Production.

Owner Representatives use LATISTA Field in the field

Many owners use LATISTA Field in conjunction with their Contractors and A&E firms. Owner representatives take Tablet PCs into the field to check on progress, create issues, check compliance and approve work that has been done. By working on the same system, the communication gap is bridged between owner and contractors responsible to do the work. A&E firms and quality or commissioning consultants also use LATISTA Field to assist owners in insuring requirements are met.

Quality (QA/QC)

Quality problems cost owners millions of dollars both during production and after turnover is complete. By putting your QA/QC requirements into LATISTA’s system and working together to insure that compliance is being met as production take place, new efficiencies are realized. Owner, contractor, and sub-contractor all know real-time production status and what needs to be addressed each day.

Transparency

By collaborating on one system the owner can view production and issues that are created as they happen. Dashboards and automated reporting can provide the owner with the information they need on project status without having to rely on phone calls and email.

Documentation

The LASTISTA Field system creates documentation needed for turnover and a permanent record that can be used for the ownership phase. Owners also use LATISTA as a warranty and maintenance system. Expensive items can be tracked by serial number, condition recorded, and inspections time stamped.
