CONSTRUCTION TECH TRENDS:Going Paperless in Construction
Going Paperless in
Construction
Paperless construction is finally an attainable
reality. Increase mobility, productivity and
data collection using the cloud.
……………………………………………………
……………………………………………………
Why Paperless?
Dynamic documents.
Notes and updates recorded on paper cannot be searched,
duplicated or properly digitized
Data opportunities.
Everyone is talking about “big data” sets these days. With paper,
you essentially have no data.
Enhanced sharing & communication.
Digital documents can be shared, updated and accessed in the click
of a button. This makes communication much easier, especially on
large projects.
Ex: Custom File Hierarchy and
Permissions
Storing documents, photos and files in the cloud can
be done using an enterprise system like Egnyte,
SharePoint, Box or simpler solutions such as
Google Drive and Dropbox.
Using the Cloud – Storage
Options
When you’re working towards going
paperless, the hardware you have available
on-site is key.
• Rugged and durable
• Large screen sizes
• Enough hardware to go around
The Proper Hardware is Key
Going Paperless: Where to Start?
Going paperless is best done as a gradual process. You can start small and still see big results!
Use the cloud to share.
Start by analyzing everything that gets printed and identifying if there are any opportunities to share this information over email or as a file stored in the could instead of printing
Invest in proper hardware.
Often times, screen size is the biggest reason that documents need to exist as a hard copy instead of digital. Better hardware such as TV screens or tablets can help here
Research the software options / mobile apps.
Identify opportunities to use software instead of manual processes and begin investigating effective solutions
