Construction Industry Solutions – The Benefits of Managed IT Services for Construction firms
Technology requirement of construction companies are unique due to the unique aspects of the business – with programs like CAD, construction project planning and procurement of materials that are unique to the industry. The industry needs to be a very collaborative one – even though workflow follows traditional paths such as design, construction, and testing. There is also the need to adhere to industry security and compliance in all aspects of the industry.
Success is dependent on successful collaboration between architects, engineers and foremen and workforce at the on-site level. The technology infrastructure must support this collaboration in real time.
We specialize in the construction industry solutions and provide the following benefits:

COBAIT’s collaborative platform allows architects and construction engineers to work together in real time on a project. With the ability to translate data from multiple programs such as Excel, ACAD, and Rhino into a single platform, various collaborators could work simultaneously rather than one at a time. All computations are done in the cloud, there is no chance of the system slowing down or freezing.
As technology gets better and new software makes the collaboration process more streamlined and easier to communicate between members of your team, the need for dedicated IT grows even bigger.
Time is money for any business, but that applies particularly to the construction industry. With contracts on the line, construction industry leaders cannot afford to have unreliable network, incompatible software and breakdowns in employee communication. Stakeholders, supervisors, estimators and the sales team need 24×7 access to information tools. It is crucial that CAD, estimation and other applications be properly integrated and that your network is maintaining uptime. Excellent communication and coordination between management and workers is required along with the ability to oversee contractors and order materials. To accomplish that, a top construction planning software and a comprehensive technology strategy is required. That’s where COBAIT has been coming in.
Just as you subcontract out certain parts of your construction projects to increase efficiency, your technology needs will be better served by those who have expertise in delivering at lesser costs and more efficacy.
