Technology use in the field of construction has advanced light-years from the days of only managing payroll. Because construction projects have become more sophisticated and costly in recent decades, more than a dozen areas of construction management have gone digital to enhance process efficiency, minimize downtime, expedite communications, and sustain fiscal prudence. There are many IT services for your construction business, these include:
- Technology procurement,
- IT support (24/7, multi-location),
- Cloud storage,
- Network security and Wi-Fi,
- File backup and recovery,
- Print services, and
- Mobile device management.
Along with the advent of digital documentation and data sharing to eliminate redundancy, collaboration between digital records has become a high priority in construction. Efficiently managing contracts, performance records, designs, and other electronic documents can mean the difference between staying on schedule and the undesirable alternative.
Back office systems that manage scheduling, materials, equipment, and enterprise resources also must reflect up-to-the-minute statuses to accurately estimate costs and completion times. Supervisors, estimators, salespeople, architects, and crew members rely on this data to make decisions about carrying out their work, so it must be precise and available 24/7.
Members of the onsite execution team, too, now require speedy, reliable, and compatible networks, software, and communication tools to ensure safety, manage productivity and carry out quality control functions.
Considering all of these responsibilities, many construction companies do not have the human – and sometimes the financial – resources to provide the level of technical support that the 21st century requires.
