In today’s construction marketplace, both architect/engineer project teams and in-house owner teams are slowly embracing cloud service technologies and solutions to provide access — via phones, tablets and the cloud — to project documents, models, and plans, to leverage 3D data while aiding in the execution of safety, quality, and workflow controls.
It is less costly to buy a subscription to a cloud service than host a network server and purchase the needed storage space. The construction industry is on the very edge of new technological breakthroughs and adopting cloud service technology and solutions allows project teams to steer the direction, improve the protocols, and reap the benefits, long-term, of closer, more informed collaboration.
