Mobile technology can dramatically speed up the communication process for construction firms . Using mobile data capture services , documentation , such as health and safety forms for site inspections , can be filled out and submitted on site using access to the cloud and email . Digital signatures for signing off tasks and documents are also instantly available , preventing delays .

Speed and efficiency come hand in hand , once processes and communication become faster , efficiency levels increase . For example , using mobile data capture , vehicle and machinery checks can be carried out remotely and maintenance forms can be issued to the back office with any problems , meaning vehicles and equipment aren ’ t out of work for longer than necessary . Likewise , staff and contractors can digitally capture onsite updates and repair work via photographs and videos and upload them to a platform hosted on the cloud . This information can then be instantly accessed by head office and the relevant actions issued to workers on site .
