Building & Construction

One of the key growth areas within the Building & Construction industry is the private housing sector, where house prices and demand remains buoyant. As building and construction professionals keep apace of industry demands, there is growing focus and investment in technology to support them.

One Device for all Tasks

Field workers can't be bogged down by carrying paperwork, mobile phones and other devices as they perform surveys and other tasks on-site. The use of eSquiggles via a hand-held PC effectively replaces all other tools and paperwork, into one handy device. Phone calls can be made, plans and other supporting documents accessed, forms completed and email accessed, all quickly and cost effectively.

As workers are focusing on a project on one site, they have the ability to track developments on other sites and have real-time access to reports, documentation, plans and correspondence as they are produced and uploaded by colleagues to the information system back in the office.

Mobilising Manual Processes

The areas and on-site processes within the building & construction industry which could benefit from utilising mobile working technology are varied. Some of the key processes include:

  • building modification
  • defect management
  • building maintenance
  • facilities management

The remedial action which is often taken as a result of these processes can take place quicker and with fewer delays than a paper-based manual process would often incur.













Key Benefits

  • Saves money
  • Increases time efficiencies
  • Reduces paperwork
  • Removes duplication of tasks

Cost Effective Devices

Did you know that many network providers offer hand held devices on a low cost basis? Quite often they may even be offered free as part of a business contract. This makes the cost of using eSquiggles more cost effective, with minimal hardware costs.
