WSP Finland ( part of the global WSP group offering strategic advice to clients in the construction and infrastructure sector ) is a multidisciplinary expert company . WSP Finland chose Congrid as their tool for construction documentation and inspections to facilitate the management of information and tasks in construction projects . The cloud-based software allows all important data to be stored in the same place and easily shared . According to Samuli Salonen , a MSc Engineer at WSP , one of Congrid ’ s greatest benefits is to bring unity and transparency to reporting . The results of Salonen ’ s master ’ s thesis on the development of the WSP Building Services Terve Talo ( Healthy House ) process will be utilised in development work together with Congrid . “ From the perspective of construction and inspections , we see a huge potential in Congrid ’ s software for comprehensive management of risks and quality in construction projects . We have wanted to develop the software in this direction in cooperation with Congrid ,” says Salonen . Congrid ’ s CEO Timo Makkonen is excited about the collaboration : “ Our partnership with WSP shows we have succeeded in developing our products also for the benefit of developers and inspectors . With continuous development together with our customers , we ensure that our products will continue to be the best tool for overall quality management of construction projects .”
