Using visual management for construction is highly effective. Here is why…
Most importantly, see how you can use visual management to make construction processes clear to all your team. Above all, at a glance.
Construction visual management – site plans
Make your own site plan boards. As a result, make key information available. Furthermore, at a glance. So, choose the frameless option which gives as much real estate as possible to the visual board. In other words, we do not have to accommodate the frame. For quick and easy updates, choose dry wipe boards. These work with standard dry wipe pens. Make your construction board custom sized. In short, you choose the exact dimensions that works for the space you have available.
Construction visual management – permit stations
Use your station to show both contractors and authorisers for your permits. In addition, log the date and establish time frame.
In short, make all the steps in your permit to work system visual. For example, mark when a contractor’s site induction is complete. Likewise, when the permit is issued. Similarly, log the time frame for work. In other words, mark the start and finish times on your permit to work station. Finally, make evaluation visual. That is to say, show when checks are complete.
Show when any permit checks are complete and keep information safe with multi-sheet document holders. Furthermore, add dry wipe labels to your document holders to make updates at any time. In addition, quick and easy.
Construction visual management – contractor management
In short, keep track visually of all your site contractors. Custom make your own visual management board to reflect your own procedures. Make easy updates and assign responsibility. Above all, we custom make a board that works for you.
Furthermore, assign each contractor a magnetic counter which provides an instant visual snapshot of current works.
Construction visual management – health & safety
Display vital safety information for your construction site visually with a custom designed Health & Safety board. Furthermore, use graphics to show important guidance and rules. For example, safety guidance for construction equipment. Show who your First Aiders and Fire Marshalls are.
Construction visual management – magnetic overlays
Choose to show your project plans on a magnetic overlay. Furthermore, these can fit an existing whiteboard. Magnetic overlays are custom made to fit your board. In addition, they provide ultimate flexibility. Crucially, update new projects easily. Lastly, they are easy to store when not in use.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
