A Dodge Data & Analytics survey found that the access to project data and enhanced communication available through mobile apps were the most valued benefits to the work field.

 

According to Apple Insider, construction company Rogers-O’Brien saves an estimated $1.8 million per year through the use of iPads on the job site. The iPads enable workers both on the job site and in the office to have access to a shared drive with up-to-date and synchronized documents.  The elimination of physical drafts and paper copies reduces error and the mistakes that are sourced from outdated documents.  Rogers-O’Brien’s success story showcases how integrating technology on the construction site can increase efficiency and save substantial amounts of money.

Using technology on the job site is a growing trend. In 2012, 41% of respondents to JBKnowledge’s Construction Technology Report said mobile capabilities were “not very important.” In 2017, that number dropped to 17% while 40% respondents said mobile capabilities were “very important.”

 

 

The nature of construction and any collaborative effort requires productive communication. The applications accessible through mobile devices are useful to the construction sector by linking agents in real-time and enabling effective and coherent collaboration.

Dodge Data & Analytics conducted a survey with 153 different companies and nearly half said that the employment of technology on construction sites has increased the volume of quality data that can be obtained and utilized on-site. 89% of construction firms surveyed use mobile devices on the job site to cut costs and streamline processes. According to the statistics that Dodge collected, both the access to project data and the enhanced communication available through mobile apps were the most valued benefits to the work field. These two factors save time and money by reducing stall time, redundancy, and rework.
