Construction and installation: Operations dashboard for facade cleaning contractors
An operations dashboard for facade cleaning contractors that shows repeat work by facade material, weather losses and equipment use, with the job and test area behind each deviation.
Which figures facade cleaning contractors really need.
Facade cleaning contractors know some facades need a second pass more often than others, but not exactly which. Is it soft handmade brick with heavy algae, concrete walkways with rust stains or natural stone with black crusts? Weather losses are a feeling too: it seems like many days are lost, but how many jobs actually moved and what that cost in equipment hire is unknown. Whether a hired cherry picker stood idle more than it worked only shows on the hire company's invoice. Without an overview, decisions about methods, own equipment and scheduling rest on the planner's memories.

Definitions with the planners
We agree what repeat work means: a second pass on the same day, a return within the order or a complaint after handover. Also what counts as weather loss and how equipment use is measured. Those agreements decide whether the dashboard says anything meaningful.
Combine sources without double work
The dashboard pulls data from quotes with facade sections, job cards with records per section, the schedule with its changes and inventory with equipment use. Nothing extra is entered for the dashboard. What the crew and scheduler already record is enough.
From pattern to facade
If the dashboard shows repeat work rising on a particular facade material, you click through to the jobs, test areas and photos per section. You can then see whether it is the method, the judgement at the test area or conditions such as a north-facing elevation.
Figures from your own work.
The data already sits in quotes, job cards, the schedule and equipment lists, or in the spreadsheets doing that job now. The dashboard shows it without copying it into another package. Planners keep ownership of test areas and methods, the scheduler of changes, the warehouse of equipment. Every figure on the dashboard can be traced to the jobs it comes from.
By facade material or by method
Showing repeat work by method seems logical, but a method is chosen based on material and soiling. Showing it by facade material and soiling type reveals better where the judgement goes wrong. Looking by method is then a second step to see whether an alternative works better.
Measure weather losses or accept them
Weather losses come with the trade and cannot be prevented. Measuring still helps show which months lose most and how much equipment hire is wasted. That can be a reason to plan differently in certain periods or build in more buffer days. The aim is insight, not blame.
Equipment per job or per period
Equipment use per job shows which jobs need a lot of hire. Per period shows whether own equipment is used well. Both have value, but for a decision on buying a cherry picker the picture per period matters more than per job. The dashboard therefore offers both views.
How it already runs at similar businesses.
Which figures we put on the dashboard.
Repeat work by facade material and soiling type, weather losses per month and the use of hired and own equipment are visible from the start. We check the figures together against a season of ordinary jobs, and against a period in which repeat work on concrete walkways stands out. Lead time from enquiry to execution, a comparison between crews and an overview of test areas that never led to an order are added if the need turns up.

Explore pricing and optionsDo we have enough jobs for meaningful figures?
With few jobs a month, monthly figures are jumpy, but over a season patterns emerge. The dashboard therefore also shows longer periods. More important than volume is that repeat work and material are recorded per facade section.
Can we see which method works best on which stone?
The dashboard shows which combinations of material, soiling and method lead to repeat work. That is a pointer, not proof. A planner judges whether it is the method or other factors, such as the condition of the pointing.
Who in the company can see the dashboard?
You decide. Often the owner, scheduler and planners. Figures per crew can be sensitive; they are only visible to those who need them for coaching, not to everyone in the yard. It stays a tool for getting better together.
Does the dashboard show what weather losses cost?
It shows how many jobs moved and how many extra equipment days came with that. What that means in money depends on the hire agreements. If those are recorded in inventory or the schedule, the dashboard can include them.

- Enquiry form for facade cleaning contractorsAn enquiry form for facade cleaning contractors that asks about facade material, contamination, working height and access, so the planner knows which test area and which equipment are needed.
