How Mobile Technologies Can Dramatically Improve Construction Operations  

Construction companies know they need to tap into the digital revolution but, to date, have been unable to in a meaningful way. A survey from PlanGrid and FMI found that more than 35 percent of the time of construction professionals time is spent on non-productive activities including looking for project information, and dealing with mistakes and rework. Furthermore, a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Commercial Construction Index survey found that a bare 11 percent of contractors say worksites are very efficient.

Using mobile technology to digitizing processes and data collection, and enable collaboration in the field and the office, will offer many benefits to construction firms, including making existing workers highly efficient and offer other tremendous benefits to construction firms. In addition, investing in mobile technology can help make site workers more productive amid the industry's labor shortage, overcoming a key challenge in the industry and favorably impacting the bottom line.
