Sometimes you may feel pressured to successfully control your construction projects, especially when they are underway at the same time. Therefore, you need to manage them simultaneously, to monitor that each progress is made without errors and within the established schedule.
We know that this inspection process involves effort, discipline, and a large investment of your time, since on-site visits and the information collected by the entire team in charge of the projects, must be thoroughly reviewed, so that no detail escapes you.
However, in case you still perform that control manually, it’s time to evolve and join the digital transformation of business! Currently, the construction market offers technological solutions that are within your reach, such as drones, laser scanners and 24/7 cameras. These tools will become your best ally to manage and evaluate each project you undertake, as they are designed to facilitate your work and can be customized according to your specific needs.
In addition, through their highly sophisticated systems, photos, videos, and relevant data are automatically saved in the cloud, thanks to the existence of platforms such as DronSite. So you can consult them whenever you want from wherever you are, as well as your team, so everyone will have the same information and will be working in synergy.
If you know Google Drive, OneDrive or DropBox, you know what we mean. The most common problems such as omission, outdated or lost information, will be in the past. But for you to receive all these benefits, you will have to take into account some essential factors.
4 keys to start storing your construction project files in the cloud
- Choose a storage platform that fits your needs and the needs of the project. There are many that are free and paid, but to choose the right one, you must first consider what the storage capacity is, how intuitive it is, how it’s the interface, and if it is affordable.
- Train the personnel who will have access to the platform so that they know how to use it correctly, as it is a new technological tool for them, so they require prior training before starting to implement it in the project.
- Update and organize the platform periodically, eliminating obsolete documentation and renewing the information as the project changes. In this way, you will be able to work more quickly and clearly, without having problems with the data stored so far.
- Seek support from experts in construction project control technology. They will guide you through the entire process of implementing the storage platform and will provide you with specialized equipment so that you can optimize your management time and concentrate on other important matters.
So now you know! It is in your hands to move forward betting on technological developments and get the benefits, or stay with the cumbersome manual procedures. At Volartech we specialize in project management tools, and we want to help you improve your workflow to complete each project successfully.
