Technology:
Pacing the Industry
A. L. Johnson is at the cutting edge of technological
advancement. Success in the construction industry is highly dependent
on the use of computer applications to perform the required functions
to manage a project. Countless resources have been invested to manage
our client's projects using the latest and most technically advanced
computer systems and software applications that are available. To enhance
the value chain, laptop computers and PDA interfaces have been used
on project jobsites. This increases management efficiency from the composition
of the initial estimate to the final close-out of the project.

Project Management
A. L. Johnson employees utilize Primavera and Open Plan
for scheduling its project, Paragon by ViaNovus for the program management
systems and Prolog. These tools offer innovative ways to link cost,
schedule and documentation information. These applications are industry
standard software and they are suitable for a project of any size and
magnitude.
Estimating is performed using Timberline and Success. These products
are excellent for cost estimating and budgeting functions, as well as
for developing historical cost databases. These databases allow A.
L Johnson to use benchmarking and other statistical and analytical
techniques to predict costs of future projects based on historical trends
by project type, trade, materials, etc. Earned value analysis calculations
are performed using Cobra. This proves to be a valuable budgeting and
reporting tool, and it allows the field personnel to solve any financial
pitfalls before they occur.
Another important feature of the A. L. Johnson technological
culture is the use of project specific web sites. Some of our larger
projects require immense coordination between people in remote locations.
The web allows us to form a 'virtual team' to communicate across geographical
boundaries in order to provide the best possible project for our clients.
It also proves to be an effective management tool, as RFI's, schedules,
reports, photos, and submittals may be posted on the web to ensure efficient
communication between all members of the project environment.
