Programa improved collaboration by centralising project information. Communication with the client became more efficient, and unexpected benefits included real-time updates and enhanced transparency.

What feedback did you get on Programa? (From team members/clients) Did it's use evolve during the project?

Both our team members and clients provided positive feedback on Programa. Its use evolved as we became more comfortable with the platform, resulting in increased efficiency. The one common request was for the ability to print the pages that are provided by each trade such as provided by “joiner” “designer” “builder” “electrician” and so on. This feature would further transform our business.

Programa streamlined our project planning and management. We relied on its features for specifying materials and enhancing communication with our clients and the trades.
