Did you know that construction is a very late adopter in technology? In fact, we are the least digitised sector in Europe, even ranking below agriculture.
This should be cause for concern for everyone in our sector as the use of technology, in some shape or form can help everyone in construction be more efficient, by saving time and money.
The immediate benefits that have been proven from a recent survey taken by individuals and companies working in the construction industry and who have been using some sort of technology in their working day, have included:
- 58% of respondents stated that they had reduced their printing costs by over a half
and more importantly –
- 79% of those using technology to run a job found that it reduced the amount of time it takes to complete a project
Information sharing amongst a team is essential and technology allows you to do this more easily and efficiently. No doubt we have all experienced situations where information via a paper trail has been mismanaged or even lost. Technology can ensure that this no longer happens. By having everything in one secure place, disagreements are reduced and collaboration is improved, leading to benefits for everyone involved in a project.
The problem, until now at least, has been the affordability of adopting such digital solutions. However, with the arrival of Copronet, it is now possible for contractors, small or large, to access easy to use technology allowing users to share information more quickly and efficiently with other members of the team through its Project Hub tool.
Project Hub allows you to manage your workflow more easily, saving you time and money.
