The Background

Banner Homes is one of the leading developers and retailers of new homes in Southern England. They have a large number of sites across the region and wished to harness the full benefits of the Internet revolution in managing them.

The Problem

Banner Homes needed a system providing access to the latest information on all site-development projects. They needed to hold all construction information in one central database, instead of in a mix of Access, Excel and paper based files. They also wanted to be able to access this data via the company intranet.

The Solution

ONIT developed a web based application linked to a centralised, up to date database. The system has the following major features:

On demand reports on development status, finances and project timescales
Real time information and rolling forecasts
Event diary of key tasks for each user
Electronic library of key site documents
High security and access of data to authorised individuals only

The Benefits

ION delivered the site management system to Banner Homes within very demanding time and cost constraints. The system has given Banner Homes an easy to use online planning tool, offering a number of important benefits:
Better management and control of the site development and construction processes.
Effective resourcing of construction projects
Access to all the important data for all those concerned, wherever they are
The ability to make strategic decisions based on real time information
