7 reasons why working in a construction team pays off
Written by

In large construction projects, it is crucial to involve the right partners from the beginning. Working in a construction team is one way to ensure that every aspect of the project runs smoothly. In this blog post, we'll show you why a construction team is the key to success on roofing and facade projects.

1. Efficient communication

A construction team brings all parties involved, from architects and engineers to contractors and suppliers, together from the beginning. This ensures open and transparent communication, which significantly reduces the risk of misunderstandings and mistakes. Because everyone is on the same page from day one, the entire process runs much more smoothly.

2. Faster decision-making

Making decisions in a construction team is faster, because the knowledge of everyone involved is readily available. Suppose during the construction of a new commercial building, the architect chooses a specific type of cladding. Because of the weather conditions in the region, we note that this material is not ideal. Then we can immediately suggest alternatives in the construction team so that a better material can be chosen quickly without causing delays.

3. Higher quality and sustainability

Combining the specialist knowledge of all parties can significantly improve the quality of the project. On a recent project in Brussels, where we applied a green roof to a renovation project, our waterproofing and green roof teams worked closely together. Because the water retention system was coordinated with the underlying roof insulation and waterproofing, a sustainable, long-term solution was guaranteed. This collaboration provided a green roof that could withstand heavy rainfall and last a long time.

4. Managing risks early

In a construction team, risks can be quickly identified and resolved. During the construction of a green roof, we discovered that the load-bearing capacity of the roof was less than expected. Thanks to close cooperation within the team, we were able to reduce the roof load by choosing lighter substrate for the green roof and a modified waterproofing method. This prevented not only delays, but also higher costs due to later intervention.

5. Transparency during the project

Transparency is one of the core advantages of working in a construction team. All costs and choices are made in consultation, which strengthens the trust between those involved. In a facade project, this can mean making clear agreements about the type of facade cladding, delivery times and installation costs so that everyone knows where they stand. This prevents surprises during execution and ensures smooth progress.

6. Innovation and smart solutions

In a construction team, innovative solutions can be implemented. At an office building in Ghent, we wanted to improve the aesthetics of the facade while adding energy efficiency. We chose a ventilated facade with integrated solar panels. This offered both a sleek modern look and a sustainable energy source. Through close consultation within the construction team, we were able to perfectly match the facade and the energy-saving systems.

7. Optimal planning and logistics

By planning tasks efficiently, a construction team can save a lot of time and resources. On a project for a logistics center, while renovating the flat roof, we were able to install fall protection at the same time. This shortened construction time and saved the cost of erecting scaffolding and other safety equipment.
