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

Finally, some punch list therapy.

Use Closeout to easily manage your

punch lists in real-time from your mobile

phone or computer.

Watch the overview video or request a 1:1
