Earlier, the construction industry used to encounter many challenges while sending files back and forth through emails. However, with the evolution of technology, cloud computing came as a saviour that sorted construction industry problems. With cloud, it’s now feasible to access back-office info & a reporting functionality from anywhere on job site or off job site.
Collaboration in construction industry:
Cloud-based collaboration in the construction industry is an excellent way to eradicate the nuisance between the field and back office, suppliers and contractors, stakeholders, and everybody engaged in between.
Here is how cloud can enable collaboration in the construction industry:
Streamlined project collaboration & scheduling:
Each project demands different schedules & completion appraisal. There’re different ways to keep an eye on the project’s progress manually. For some projects, tasks include regularly sending out the calendar to the team members while other needs coordinating with them and setting up a meeting every day to accomplish the objective.
Thus, it becomes tough to have real-time access to the project schedule.
Collaboration becomes more effortless with the cloud. The shareholders, both internal & external to the company, can access the schedule if only one master calendar is set up. The team members can update their new events. This lets them set a priority for themselves what deadline to meet first.
Thus, the cloud enables collaboration between the contractors and stakeholders, lines up the project with right schedule, and manages the suitable coordination among the team.
File storage & sharing:
The best thing about cloud-based construction collaboration software is the ease of accessibility of files. There might be numerous shareholders with whom you wish to share the project’s update. Sending data files via emails and then taking the changes forward within the email can be a time-taking endeavour.
Cloud eradicates the accessibility concern. The contractors and stakeholders can view the same file at the same time. With this, multiple users of the project can access the file anytime & anywhere across the globe, and even limit the access to only a few selected staff. This allows them to keep the data handy every time.
Eases communication with the off-site teams:
Communication can be a difficult task with the off site team members. This is a pretty common issue in the construction industry when supervising the work at diverse sites. Having all the info at one place that is easily accessible by the off-site & on-site teams help ineradicating cross-communication risks.
