Project Teams Use Digital Cameras To Shoot It, Then Share It
A digital camera is a powerful construction tool. Being able to capture a meaningful image and e-mail it to colleagues is an ideal combination for project managers. It allows architects, engineers, contractors and owners to track operations together and respond to problems with expedience. It also makes them better communicators.
In a business where time is so much a factor of profit, it is easy to understand why construction professionals, including military engineers, started to adopt digital photography shortly before the consumer market took off. The ability to fire off a snapshot and then disseminate it within minutes is helping project managers find ways to get creative with the medium, and add value to their work.
