Last week, we gathered construction leaders in Stockholm for the Brickanta Summit and showed the all-new Brickanta for the first time. Thank you to everyone who joined us. What a night.
After eight weeks of development, we're now bringing the first build of one of its most ambitious foundations into Brickanta: work packages (arbetsmoment).
Work packages: following the work from requirements to completion
Groundworks, structural frame, facade, building services. Each is work that needs to be planned, procured, carried out, paid for and checked. The challenge is keeping those steps connected.
Together with some of Sweden's largest builders, we've been refining how Brickanta represents that work. Each work package brings a scope together with its requirements, responsibilities, costs, files and decisions, so there is one continuous thread from the original requirements, through procurement and production, to final inspection.
The benefit is continuity. The story of a piece of work usually lives across a cost estimate, an inbox, a schedule and someone's memory. When a colleague takes over, a supplier is replaced, or the project moves from tender to production, much of that context goes missing. With work packages, the reasoning travels with the work, so whoever picks it up next can see what was agreed, why, and what still needs to happen.
The same structure is what lets Brickanta help proactively. To know what comes next, what it depends on and what has already happened, our agents need to understand how construction work moves forward, and work packages give them that. Brickanta is designed to start from a recommended approach and adapt to how your team groups work in its estimates, schedules and procurement plans.
This first build lays the foundation. Over the coming weeks, we'll deepen the construction knowledge behind it and bring more of the work itself into each package, starting with procurement.
Have a good weekend,
The Brickanta team
