Touchplan, an award-winning collaborative construction planning solution, announced a marketing partnership with OutForm consulting to promote Touchplan’s technology to owners, contractors, and specialty trade companies in Ireland.
“OutForm is working on projects that impact everyday life like infrastructure, manufacturing, and construction,” said Touchplan Chief Revenue Officer Jimmy Suppelsa. “Our software platform will allow OutForm and their clients to have better collaboration and alignment on their projects while reducing schedule and budget slippages and enhancing safety. We are excited to partner with them to help them enhance their project work in Ireland and Europe.”
With profit margins for commercial contractors averaging around 4%, construction projects have little wiggle room for unplanned expenses and delays. A specialist consulting firm in the infrastructure and construction markets, OutForm will integrate the Touchplan software across its manufacturing and construction client base in Ireland.
“At OutForm, we partner with complex organizations that deliver vital infrastructure-based services across the whole asset lifecycle,” said Brian Thompson, Managing Director of OutForm Consulting. “Through collaboration, we create customized strategies that reflect our client’s individual needs, establishing sustained, long-term results. Partnering with a high-end technology platform like Touchplan allows us to further empower our clients to outperform their competition and achieve sustainable success. In some cases, this software will literally take construction planning from the on-site trailer noticeboard to a real-time, accessible to all software, and will create the kind of agility required for a modern, fit-for-purpose construction sector.”
Touchplan reduces time spent in construction planning meetings, reduces time spent aggregating and reporting on updated plans and reduces rework rates and avoids planning-related project delays. By supporting contractors to reduce the overstacking of trades at any one point in a project, it also improves jobsite safety.
