Buildots has launched a tool to structure and automate the popular Line of Balance project control method.
The Line of Balance tool presents progress and risks of delays across multiple activities in a single view, allowing site teams to easily identify future bottlenecks, manage dependencies, and adjust pacing to avoid progress blockages and escalated delays.
Unlike manual Line of Balance methods and workarounds used until now, Buildots’ new feature is built on site-specific AI-driven progress data, “making it the most accurate and actionable way to understand dependencies and balance work”, the company said.
The tool also enables teams to find and exploit optimisation opportunities, by seeing which work-ready areas are being underused and which trades could accelerate their work. Users can also simulate different pace scenarios to fine-tune workflows and prevent disruptions.
The tool is now available to all Buildots customers.
“Contractors who practice the Line of Balance method today rely on manual calculations, pen and paper, or workaround solutions in their scheduling software,” said Roy Danon, co-founder and CEO of Buildots.
“With our new Line of Balance feature, we’re expanding the performance-driven construction management toolkit Buildots is offering the industry, providing teams with unprecedented visibility into activity on site, and allowing them to spot potential bottlenecks and act before the cascading delays start.”
