Harleman Constructies

Harleman Constructies in Vaassen is committed to constant quality improvement. What began as a one-person operation has evolved into a fully-fledged steel construction company with a strong national reputation. For years, ConstruSteel has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth, with director Erik Harleman actively utilizing the software. Additionally, Harleman’s production and assembly teams rely on ConstruSteel’s specialized steel construction software.

Quality above all

Director Erik Harleman passionately emphasizes his construction company’s unwavering commitment: “Our sole focus is delivering top-quality work. Consequently, we’ve built a strong regional reputation, and our clients are loyal.” To uphold and enhance this commitment to quality, the company invests in welding training, CE certification, and robust software. As more clients seek out CE-certified companies, Harleman appreciates that ConstruSteel seamlessly integrates the EN-1090 compliance process: “Previously, managing all the aspects related to CE standards was time-consuming and involved extensive paperwork. ConstruSteel streamlines this process, making it faster and more efficient. Additionally, it simplifies data retrieval, especially during audits.”

ConstruSteel fits perfectly with smaller steel construction companies

The modular structure of the package allows starting with a single module. That’s why the software fits Harleman Constructies BV perfectly. In 2014, Harleman began using ConstruSteel’s calculation software. “I initially believed I had everything well-organized and under control. However, creating calculations in Excel was becoming too time-consuming. As our workload increased, errors began to surface, and any changes in the application meant I had to start from scratch. That’s why I started searching for a robust software package,” explains Harleman.

“Through several fellow steel construction companies, I learned that ConstruSteel is the go-to software within the steel construction industry. Creating calculations with ConstruSteel is significantly faster, and you have everything in digital format. With a single button press, you can generate a new calculation. Instead of spending 8 hours, I now average about 2 hours on calculations.”

Harleman Constructions is expanding her use of ConstruSteel to save even more time and reduce errors. For instance, ConstruSteel’s timekeeping system has replaced the manual processing of paper time sheets and handwritten notes by all staff. “All hours are directly allocated to the project, which is simple and quick. Now, I only need to perform the final check,” says Harleman.

The software scales with the company’s growth

He expresses satisfaction with the achieved results: “ConstruSteel has brought about significant efficiency improvements. I didn’t initially know exactly what needed automation and improved efficiency, but that understanding has evolved over time. We are now making strides in this direction, and ConstruSteel is growing with us.” Harleman Constructies BV has also started using ConstruSteel for Job preparation: “We’ve replaced Excel-based saw lists with clear and error-free lists generated by ConstruSteel, which greatly aids our production. I am pleased with ConstruSteel.”
