The last few years have featured a lot of change for those in housebuilding, from the amended Part L regulations in June 2022 and the Building Safety Act to the new Labour government with its ambitious housing plans.
All these new standards require enhanced oversight, transparency and accountability throughout the construction process and beyond. As such, maintaining a ‘golden thread’ of information is crucial, with critical building safety and construction data recorded, stored and made instantly accessible throughout the building's lifecycle.
Viewpoint Field View software helps housebuilders and contractors comply with Part L. A tablet and mobile-based field tool, Field View enables companies to digitise snagging, paper forms and reporting processes. Any form or approval process that is currently completed with pen and paper, Field View can easily replicate and improve, saving valuable time.
Housebuilders can customise the software to suit their own specific needs, with the ability to create custom forms and share data live on site, all without going back to the office. By creating custom tasks with photographic evidence uploaded in real-time and geo-tagged, housebuilders can be helped to ensure compliance with Part L regulations, providing added peace of mind and improved productivity levels.
Incorporating digital construction tools into everyday processes not only provides enhanced efficiencies and streamlined compliance and quality control, but also helps contractors stay ahead of evolving standards - like Part L and the Future Homes Standard. By embracing these technologies, housebuilders can ensure they are meeting regulations, improving building performance and delivering energy-efficient homes that stand the test of time.
