Constructive Intelligence Analytics Update 2.0

Intelligence 2.0 — New Selections Log, Selections Price Reference, New Variation Cost Page

1. NEW Selections Log

Selections Log, a new feature of Intelligence 2.0, displays a log of selected, unselected and price change events, allowing you to monitor exactly what clients are selecting and changing their minds about.

Please note:

  1. The log is based on selections history snapshotted each night, so details of selection changes within a day are not available.
  2. For unselected events, Selections Made By is not available.




2. Selections Price Reference

An addition to the Price Configuration page, this new table allows you to see your selection template choice prices and assess them against both your standard in-spec pricing as well as an average retail price.

Here’s how you can get the most out of the Selections Price Reference table:

  1. Filter by a single Specification to show the Relative Price — which is the choice price relative to the standard in-spec item price.
  2. The Reference Price column shows the average retail price across the supplier retail price data Constructive has acquired.
    Please note: Currently, retail price data is via supplier The Blue Space. We will be adding more suppliers in the coming months.
  3. Use the Price Reference button to show item choices where a retail price reference is available or use the Price Above Reference button to show item choices where the Relative Price is above the average Reference Price. Drill through to see the details of the reference prices.




3. NEW Variation Cost Page

The new Variation Cost page gives you deeper visibility into variations so you can analyse and review the differences from various business units, brands, jobs, selections and items — as well as identify when variations occur after the Selections Appointment, helping you recognise where you can create efficiencies, increase upgrade income and improve processes.

  • Analyse the variation cost across jobs.
  • See the difference in variation cost from Selections Appointment Complete to Selections Finalised.
  • Break down the variation cost difference by Business Unit, Brand, Selection, Item and Job.
  • Drill-through to a log of selection changes (snapshotted nightly).

Please note, variation difference analysis requires the following progress tasks completed on jobs:

  1. Selections Appointment completed. Dates are taken from the progress task matching the name in Constructive Settings: Selections: Prestart Meeting Progress Item Name.
  2. Selections Finalised. Completed dates are taken from manually identified progress tasks, usually named “Final Documents” or “Final Plans.” If you believe the incorrect progress task has been used, please contact your CSM.

4. Navigation Changes

  • Top Choice Groups page is now a button on Top Item Choices page.
  • Top Items by Upgrade Price and Top Selection Groups by Upgrade % pages moved to visuals on the Selection Upgrades page.
  • Price Overrides page is now a button on Price Configuration page.




5. Minor Changes

  • Added new counts to the Photos page showing the count of Construction jobs that have no photos added in 30 days, 90 days and 180 days.
  • Added Last Photo Added On column to Job Details table.
  • Added option to show Photos by Client Liaison.
  • Added Client Email column to Selection Detail table.

Constructive Update 5.24

Constructive 5.24 — 3D Improvements

1. 3D – Speed improvements

We have improved frame rate and initial loading performance, translating into a substantially smoother, faster experience for your clients making selections in 3D, (via an approximate 80% decrease in transferred and download resources, and a 52% decrease in GPU draw calls).



2. NEW Internal 3D – Optional wider lens view for internal cameras

Previously, smaller rooms — such as a laundry, or ensuite — were difficult to view in full when visualising Selections in 3D. You now have the option of increasing the field of view of internal cameras to show more of the room and help your clients gain a better visual understanding of the space.

Once you have set up your cameras, simply click the magnifying glass to activate the wider lens view.

wider angle lens internal 3d



3. NEW 3D – Auto-correction of house model rotation during IFC processing

Often, loaded IFC models may be pre-rotated in 3D programs, such as Archicad or Revit, to mimic block direction.

Constructive 3D will now automatically retrieve the angle and apply rotation to your model to face true North, reducing common Internal and External 3D rotation issues, such as incorrect floor tile direction.

4. Internal 3D – Model Mapping – Add Area to Model Mapping Template

You can now add an Area to your Model Mapping Template within Internal 3D. Please contact your Client Success Manager for set up and training.



5. Bug Fixes

3D – Model Edit – Missing roof visibility correction
If your 3D model has loaded with part of the roof missing, you now have the ability to fix this in the Model Edit screen.

Please ensure the roof is mapped to the correct dimension type of ColorbondColorbond Roof or Roof Tiles as per your Selection Template. Once the dimension type is added, click on the three-dot kebab menu on the missing item and select Fix missing roof parts.

1. NEW Percentage of Client Selections before Appointment

Intelligence 1.9 features a new Online Engagement KPI showing you the percentage of the client visible Selections that were selected by a client up to one day before the Selections Appointment Completion date. This is averaged across jobs which have completed their Selections Appointment.

With this data, you can benchmark your results and strive to increase your percentage to reduce the amount of time spent in the Selections appointment and speed up the pre-Construction process.

Percentage of Client Selections before Appointment is now available on the Online Engagement KPIs page, with history from 3 February, 2023.

1. NEW Selections Timeframes

The new Selections Timeframes page tracks the counts of Selections Appointment completions over time and the number of days until Selections are finalised.

Constructive 5.21 — New Notifications Emails, House Type Dimension Ordering and Admin Improvements

1. Notifications — Low Selections Reminder Weekly Email
Automate a weekly follow-up to keep your clients’ Selections process moving rapidly with the new Low Selections Reminder — a customised, branded email reminding clients to make Selections if they have less than 20 Selections chosen. The email goes out once a week on a Monday and can be toggled on or off.

2. Notifications — New 3D Model Notification Daily Email

3. House Type Admin — Dimension Ordering Within Areas and Dimension Order
You can now drag and drop Dimensions within Areas (reflected in Job Details Quants) to easily re-order to suit your workflow. This is especially useful when you have Selections in multiple Areas and you’d like to guide clients through these in a particular order. For example, selecting a benchtop first in the kitchen, then the laundry, then the bathroom.



4. House Type Admin — Area Duplication
Quickly duplicate areas by clicking the 3-dot ‘kebab’ icon on the right and choosing Duplicate.

Constructive Intelligence Analytics Update 1.7

Intelligence 1.7 — Selection History and Appointment Complete Filter

Intelligence 1.7 is focused on the new Selection History feature, a daily snapshot of the history of items chosen for a Selection, now accessible directly from Intelligence.

Has a Selection accidentally been chosen? Use Selection History to go back and find what the previous Selection was without having to contact your client — or your Constructive CSM.

Easily double-check any errors that come up on site by viewing the history of previous Selections.



1. NEW Selection History

Drill through from Selection Detail to the new Selection History to view a daily snapshot of items chosen.

Please note the following Selection History limitations:

  • Selections which didn’t have an item selected in the most recent snapshot will not be available in the table; therefore, their history will not be available in the report.
  • History snapshots are taken each evening, so details of Selections made within a day are not available.
  • It’s not possible to determine who unselected an item.



2. NEW Selection Appointment Complete Filter

This new filter can be found on the Selection Detail page, allowing you to quickly view selections for jobs that have not completed their Selection appointment.

Note the default filter setting is “True” — unselect “True” to display Selections for all jobs.

If you don’t use the Progress module, or your progress template does not include a Selection Appointment task, this filter will instead filter jobs whose Selections are locked.

This release focuses on the two new report pages: Top Choice Groups and Top Selection Groups by Upgrade %, helping you see a clear picture of what clients are selecting. Intelligence makes it easier to monitor trends so you can transform your data into business improvements and negotiate pricing with suppliers. Also in this release are two key column additions to existing pages: Total Variation Cost added to Job Details and Selection Made by added to Selection Detail.

2. Existing pages additions and improvements

Job Details
Total Variation Cost has been added to the Job Details table. This is the sum of Total Cost for selections made on the job.

Selection Detail
We have re-ordered some of the columns and added a new column: Selection Made By.

The column Prestart Meeting Completed On has been renamed to Selection Appointment Completed On throughout the report.

Top Item Choices
We’ve added an additional filter: Item Name – Id, as well as a new Table View button. Here you can see the Top Item Choices with detail of the Template, Selection Group, Selection and Choice Group.

Items with no Choices
We’ve added the following columns: TemplateSelection GroupSelectionChoice Group and Dimension Type

Previously, the table displayed a distinct list of items with no choices within the filters applied. The table now shows items with no choices within each template and selection they appear on.

This means items that appear in multiple selections will appear in the table once per selection (where it has no choices within the applied filters). For instance, if item A has a selection made in template selection 1 and no selections for template selection 2, item A will display in the table for selection 2.

Constructive Intelligence Analytics Update 1.4

Intelligence 1.4 – Job Details Filtering

This release focuses on the new capability to filter by Progress Milestones when generating Selections reports. A selection of new Progress filters have been added to help you monitor trends and optimise operations to manage any delays.



1. Job Details Page

Job Details is now accessible directly from the Pages menu (as well as remaining as a drill-through from the Engagement and Jobs pages).



2. Job Details: New Filters

Empower yourself with deeper information on job progress within certain periods of time. Use these new filters in combination to display jobs within a Progress Item range.

progress items filters
  • A new Progress Item Complete filter allows you to limit results to jobs which have a completed date for the selected Progress Item(s).
  • Limit the completed date range for item(s) selected in the Progress Item Complete filter by further filtering with Progress Item Complete Date.
  • The Progress Item Incomplete filter allows you to limit to jobs which do not have a completed date for the selected Progress Item(s).

For instance, setting Progress Item Complete to Selections and Progress Item Incomplete to Lockup will show you all jobs that have completed Selections, but not Lockup. You might then add a date restriction to show Selections completed in a specific date range with the Progress Item Complete Date filter.



3. Job Details: Selection Detail

You can now right-click on a row in the table to drill-through to the Selection Detail for the job. To drill-through to the Selection Detail for all the jobs in the table, simply right-click in the Totals row.

1. Selections — Question mark character available for upgrades/POA
You can now change any product to POA/Upgrade using the special “?” character, instead of needing to type in a dollar figure. This allows you to make things non-standard specific to this job. For example, if a client has a wall stack oven included, then change the 900mm upgrade option to be POA.

The Selection name is now shown in the Selection Dimension Type screen in Job Quants.



3. Job Details — Copy Quants tick box

6. Selections – Icon and overlay for discontinued items
An icon and overlay for discontinued items are now shown in the clients’ Selections view for company users, (not visible to clients), improving customer experience by ensuring your Selection Consultants are aware of discontinued items in their selections meeting. This avoids the disappointment of having to make item re-selections later in the process.
