Paper is a Thing of the Past
Truly paperless project sites where drawings, change orders, claims, and
dispute “paperwork” are transmitted from Back Office to Jobsite, and
Jobsite to Back Office, including owner integrated applications, is
happening today.
Technology adoption in the field is inarguably altering the expectations of
services that contractors provide to owners. The sheer efficiency with
which information can be shared and processed demands that
businesses change.
