As we all continue to navigate the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, construction companies are trying to determine how to continue working safely. One Calgary-based construction firm has taken steps to protect on-site workers and has doubled down on doing tasks remotely with construction management software wherever possible.  

Gary Bizek, the owner of Azimuth Builders Ltd., says hand-washing stations, rubber gloves and masks have been set up on sites. Azimuth has also limited the number of workers on-site, physically separated different trades, and staggered when people work to allow for social distancing. 

Meanwhile, communication between Bizek, workers, architects and clients continues via the Procore platform. Procore enables construction companies to manage every aspect of a project from any device, with information such as drawings and photos shared with all stakeholders in the cloud. This helps ensure everyone is working from the same data, which minimizes errors and can make job sites more efficient. 

“Everybody’s trying to figure out how to work remotely,” says Bizek. “I’m doing it the same way today as I was yesterday.” 

While Bizek and his team are not doing much differently, as they were using Procore extensively prior to the pandemic, there are some processes that have had to change.
