Recently mobile based technologies
improve jobsite communication to a great extent. Several renowned
construction companies embrace some remarkable mobile compatible technologies
to complete projects in quickest possible time.
In recent times, Chicago based Pepper
Construction (www.pepperconstruction.com), employed a
combination of advanced technologies to execute a project in less than six
months.
The technology comprises of some
exclusive cloud based document management technologies which range from
DataVault product form KNAACK www.knaack.com and technology from StratusVue (www.stratusvue.com).
The project involves a 27,000 sq.ft., green field enterprise
data center opened in the preliminary stage with adequate equipments to
represent an existing site and allowed for development capability.
Pepper Construction applied beta version of DataVault product to
develop BIM process on the project. DataVault product was applied to join
jobsite professionals to information through a digital plan storage solution
effective for onsite job management.
By applying StratusVue’s cloud-based
document management suite, Pepper Construction got the ability to assign
technology to the field safely and manage the project in a superior way.
The software facilitates
the project team members to avail the significant, current project information
within feet of where the actual work started. This combined solution helps the
project team members to access the project information on the jobsite in real
time without spending too much time. All the information were up-to-date on
plans and it facilitates to concentrate on the project rather than waiting for
responses. Other significant benefits are quicker data access and superior BIM
integration.
In another project, McShane
Construction Company, applied StratusVue’s PlansandSpecs solution to speed up collaboration and
bring effectiveness across the McShane enterprise. The cloud supported software
suite developed project and document management assignments for construction
managers during the preconstruction and construction stages of a project. The software also
formed a central online respiratory for all contract documentation to enhance
the ease of access and clarity among all project stakeholders.
The PlansandSpecs module comes with tools
and workflows to make a better productivity throughout construction phase.
McShane is also planning to use BidVue in near future, to handle the bidding
process with subcontractors.
