Easy data access, visualization, and efficient stakeholder collaboration are critical to successfully moving a construction project from the initial bidding to onsite execution. In the current construction space, accurate information and data are crucial for communication, information transfer, and multi-branch coordination across architects, engineers, detailers, fabricators, and project managers.

Enter Nupav, a SaaS-based B2B platform that enables various stakeholders across a construction project to connect their workflows and establishes a single source of truth as a reliable foundation for impactful decision-making.

“Our goal is to create a centralized database of disparate construction datasets, so all stakeholders are equipped with accurate information and insights when working in parallel to reduce inefficiencies and delays,” says Cristian Carmona, CEO of Nupav.

Enhancing Project Visibility through Integration

Nupav’s B2B platform is powered by impeccable API integration across a client’s existing technological tools, enabling the rapid and reliable extraction and consolidation of relevant datasets. It automatically prepares follow-up reports that highlight opportunities and non-conformities across a project. This collective of data creates a living and breathing repository where all stakeholders can monitor a project’s health at any time.

“Through Nupav, everyone has access to trusted information that can be used as the basis for their discussions, planning, and execution strategies,” says Felipe Carmona A, chief technology officer at Nupav.

Nupav presents the extracted data in a graphical form to help clients understand the big picture, including project schedules, deadlines, budgets, and equipment needs. It enables them to monitor pre-established milestones and proactively control critical processes of the construction project.

Through these competencies, clients can gain holistic visibility of their projects without manually gathering and reviewing thousands of documents, making numerous calls, or tracking down team members in the field. Nupav monitors complementary procedures that can improve operational efficiencies while optimizing actionable insights over time to enable real-time notifications that alert users of their project progress.

Simplified Collaboration across Disparate Elements

Connecting all project data, Nupav enables clients to easily collaborate with their stakeholders, creating a common ground for communication where users have complete visibility into their project’s status at their fingertips. This transparency streamlines construction processes, eliminates inefficiencies, and forms a clear forward path for them.

Above all, Nupav ensures all stakeholders are aligned, connected, and collaborating, leading to better project performance and cost savings. For example, its on-time collaborative review helps clients identify conflicting construction issues before the actual process begins, which reduces instances of rework and maintains the project timeline.

A LATAM Focus

A critical challenge hindering Latin American construction businesses is the timely and accurate monitoring of a project’s operational elements, which is driven by the limited interconnectivity among stakeholders.

A case in point is a success story where a client with a fragmented approach wanted to optimize their ability to track project progress. Initially, as every stakeholder used a specific control system, they were working in a culture of digital differences that hampered information flow across stakeholders. This made it difficult for them to gain proper visibility across different processes and drove ineffective collaboration.

After implementing Nupav’s platform, this client could seamlessly unify their data across various stakeholders and gain a panorama of all project statuses in a single portal. The platform’s superior user-friendliness further enabled them to efficiently transform their former approach to one powered by digital technologies.

Successes like this enhance Nupav’s ability to spread awareness about seeking newer information-sharing techniques during construction projects. Moving forward, it envisions transforming how the LATAM construction industry handles projects by ensuring every stakeholder has real-time access to information that can keep projects on track and enhance the turnover phase.
