Can Automating Time and Material Management in Construction Lower Your Blood Pressure?

Working on large-scale construction projects—whether in the military or within the U.S.—has given me firsthand experience with just how outdated traditional methods like pencil-and-paper have become when it comes to managing time and materials (T&M). It's clear that the reliance on endless paperwork needs to go the way of the dinosaurs—or at least evolve significantly. As the CEO of Rhumbix, my mission has always been to revolutionize cost management in construction by embracing digital solutions. In today’s fast-paced world, where profit margins are razor-thin, cloud technology is king, and labor shortages demand quicker project turnarounds, digitizing T&M could be a game-changer for everyone involved—from project owners to subcontractors. Imagine streamlining processes that once felt cumbersome and error-prone! ![Construction Management](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/daf096eb99995181ade08227b2358896.png) If you're part of the construction industry, you've likely encountered the frustrations of T&M firsthand. Managing changes—whether anticipated or unforeseen—is one of the most complex parts of the construction process. These shifts often arise from client requests, coordination mishaps during field installations, or even last-minute cleanup tasks. While inevitable, these changes don’t need to create chaos if handled efficiently. At Rhumbix, we believe it’s high time to ditch outdated practices and embrace automation. Breaking free from paper trails isn’t easy, but the payoff—quicker approvals, fewer errors, and smoother workflows—is worth it. Automating T&M is the next frontier for our sector, and it’s about time we embraced it fully. Recently, Rhumbix announced an exciting integration with Autodesk BIM 360 Cost Management, making it simpler than ever to digitize T&M. Our mobile platform, designed specifically for modern construction sites, now connects seamlessly with BIM 360’s cost management tools via a cloud-based, paperless system. This means better oversight over field change orders, thanks to real-time tracking and approval of time and material tags. Take Andrew Cameron, a project manager at Hensel Phelps, who highlights how this integration transforms daily operations: “With Rhumbix and BIM 360, accessing critical data has never been easier. Teams no longer need to rely on manual handoffs—they can collaborate effortlessly in one centralized space.” Transitioning to digital might feel intimidating for those accustomed to analog methods, but trust me—it’s worth every step forward. Embracing digital T&M isn’t just convenient; it’s transformative. Don’t miss out on learning more! Join us for a webinar on June 6th to explore how this integration can simplify and enhance your workflow. Breakups aren’t always bad—especially when they lead to smarter choices!
