Chuck Schwartz, and Chris Porter, Construction Manager at Prophix, to discuss the challenges of resource management in the age of COVID-19 and expectations for recovery.

1. What are some of the resourcing challenges that you think are carrying over from COVID-19?

Chuck: A significant challenge was those businesses that use local server-based software systems (a.k.a. “in-house”) versus those that use accounting and business management software in the cloud. Those that use cloud software saw no significant delays or downtime, versus those that had to scramble to set up computers to be able to connect to their systems. Then, of course, with the office closures and lockdowns, important processes like system backups weren’t performed regularly, if at all. Chris: As so many of us know, labor shortages have been an ongoing issue in the construction industry for some time now. Much like a lot of things, COVID has only magnified this issue. However, it’s not just labor that will continue to be a challenge. Materials and equipment are also in high demand, and prices have risen considerably in both areas due to production slowdowns, amongst other things. This disruption will no doubt continue onwards for some time until production and supply levels can return to what they were pre-pandemic.

2. Based on the challenges mentioned above, what areas do you think construction companies should invest in to prepare for potential future disruptions? (i.e., software, scholarships, or trade programs to train new talent, safety protocols, education for project managers, etc.)

Chuck: There’s an old saying – do things in good times, so you are not scrambling in the bad times. And while these are certainly not quite the good times (at least not yet anyway), think back to just before the lockdown – we had good times. But then, I heard things like, “we are too busy to think about that now,” and other excuses for not doing some of the important things in the good times. So, if we learned anything from the lockdown is that life is unpredictable, and things can happen at any time. Taking care of the important things and the difficult things before disaster strikes is key. Chris: Chuck makes many good points here. Proactively investing in the right areas of your business will set you up for success down the road, no matter what challenges you’re faced with. It’s always nice to relish the good times, but organizations must think strategically about investing in their people, technology, and processes. On the technology side, construction companies use many different technologies to run their business. ERP, Estimating, Project Management, CRM, and Payroll software are just a few. You need all these systems to run your business and make decisions, but it’s tedious to jump from one system to the next to get the answers you need. Contractors should be investing in a data strategy and technology that pulls all their data together. This makes it possible for innovative contractors to see and respond to issues as they arise. Contractors should be able to easily model the impact of project delays, equipment or labor shortages, and the resulting cash flows across the entire business.

3. Are there any technology solutions that you think contractors would benefit from investing in, or if they already have, look for ways to utilize more?

Chuck: Aside from cloud CPM software, I would say an integrated construction ERP software. What I mean by this is that most construction accounting systems have always done a very good job at accounting, job costing, and financial reporting, but I am also seeing wonderful advancements made in the project management and document control side of things. Most of the contractors I speak with would prefer one system to manage their entire business, from accounting and back office, to project management, and out to the field. What I’ve seen recently from system vendors like Viewpoint is very impressive and eliminates the need for third-party project management systems. I will also share that what I’ve seen from Prophix and how they work with ERP systems to offer advanced opportunities for financial and statistical reporting is very impressive. CPM software is valuable to contractors who deal with things like PPP, ERC, and other reporting and forecasting needs. Chris: I completely agree with Chuck that without an integrated construction ERP software like Viewpoint, you’re not running your business as efficiently as you could be. However, I believe that this is only half the puzzle. You might feel burnt out after a long ERP implementation and think that’s it – but there’s more. Now, you have to consider how you’re going to consume all that great information. At the end of the day, relational data systems like ERPs are primarily meant for logging and storing large sets of data. Getting that data out and into a consumable and easy-to-understand format is where you will start to gain competitive advantages in the marketplace and make better decisions.

4. What areas of focus do you think contractors should be looking into regarding scheduling and staffing because of COVID restrictions?

Chris: One of the lessons I think we have all learned from this pandemic is that our situation can change at the drop of a hat. In many ways, this isn’t anything new to construction professionals who deal with scheduling changes on jobs all the time. What matters is your ability to understand where and when you can make changes to your scheduled labor and equipment ahead of time. Being able to reforecast your staffing levels and equipment usage well in advance will result in better utilization and margins on those key assets. So, the question we should be asking ourselves is, can I do this today? Moreover, can I report on my required, scheduled, and actual resource hours daily? This is where a data strategy comes into play. Connecting these 3 datasets is imperative, and thankfully, Prophix has a purpose-built solution to make this possible.

5. What should contractors be prepared for in 2021 once the vaccine has become more widely available?

Chris: In speaking with several sureties and accounting partners, there has already been an increased focus on cash management and financial health. Everyone is asking for more regular 13-week cash projections and updates on key performance indicators, such as days of cash and other liquidity ratios. Knowing this will likely continue in the foreseeable future, contractors need to consider the processes they have for putting this data together for stakeholders. Are you spending days and days getting this data out of various systems and crunching it in Excel? A bank or surety will have a lot more confidence if you’re able to show them the solid foundation upon which you have produced these numbers. Corporate Performance Management solutions, such as Prophix, provide contractors with the automation, scale, and best practices that Excel can’t offer. Out-of-the-box dashboards, coupled with a library of KPIs, can give contractors insight into the health of their business almost instantly.

    The Benefits of a Prevailing Wage 401(k) Plan

    Contractors have the option of paying fringe dollars to their employees as cash wages or using the funds to provide qualified benefits to their employees. When paying fringe dollars as cash wages they are processed through payroll, leading to higher payroll taxes and workers’ compensation premiums. However, if the employer has a 401(k) plan with the ability to accept fringe dollars as employer contributions to the plan, fringe dollars can be removed from payroll, reducing payroll taxes and the cost of workers compensation premiums. This leads to a substantial labor cost savings for employees and an average of 10% reduction in overall labor costs on these jobs. The next piece of the puzzle is to ensure your 401(k) plan is properly designed to accept and maximize these contributions to your plan. This is why it is especially important to make sure you are working with a company that specializes in prevailing wage plans vs. traditional 401(k) plans.

    One Plan is Better than Two

    One common misconception is contractors thinking they need to setup and manage two separate retirement plans – one for prevailing wage employees and one for non-prevailing wage employees. While this type of arrangement is possible, it comes with added costs and risks. Managing two retirement plans doubles the fees you are paying, increases administrative work, and increases your fiduciary and compliance risks. 401(k) providers who specialize in prevailing wage plans can offer one plan to fit the needs of your business and all of your employees. Another way for employers to improve their 401(k) plan is by using fringe dollars to offset or meet matching requirements that they may choose to include in their plan. This includes discretionary employer match, safe harbor, or profit-sharing contributions to the plan. Contractors are often hesitant to include matching contributions to their retirement plan due to the costs. Utilizing the prevailing wage dollars to meet a portion of these contributions allows you to offer more retirement benefits to all your employees at a reduced cost to the company. Required annual compliance testing for all 401(k) plans can be extremely complicated and are put into place to ensure that all participants are benefiting equally from the plan. When working with a plan administrator who specializes in designing retirement plans for prevailing wage contractors, you can ensure that you are staying compliant and offering the best solution for all your employees and the owners of the company. Beneco has been in business for over 30 years helping prevailing wage contractors navigate the challenges and complexities of these jobs.

    Viewpoint recently released an ebook on "Going Paperless: The Digital Construction Organization." The digital construction company includes a move to paperless that seamlessly connect the back office, the project team and the field crews. Here is a short excerpt and link to download the book: Paperwork is more than just a headache, it’s also a liability. According to Construction Business Owner, 70 percent of businesses would fail in three weeks if they experienced a catastrophic loss of paperwork. It takes an average of 18 minutes for someone to locate a particular document, which can cut into efficiency, and the cost of paper per employee is $80 — even more reasons companies in all industries are trying to ditch paper. In construction, each new project comes with a mountain of paperwork, including bid documents, payroll and subcontracts, making finding a specific piece of information time-consuming and complicated — not to mention the storage space required to maintain proper records. To solve these problems, many contractors are digitizing processes and documentation as a way to speed access to information across office, team and field personnel. With 50 percent of project management teams still using manual processes, there’s much to be gained by adopting construction-specific technology to go paperless. The ebook contains sections on:
    • the Benefits of Going Paperless,
    • What to Look for In Technology, and
    • How to go Paperless.
