Cloud-based technology is the future of
construction management to stay ahead in the
construction industry

• It is important for construction project
  stakeholders not to go mobile without the cloud.
  With construction projects turning complex,
  various mobile devices and platforms have
  revolutionized the construction sector.
  Cloud-based construction management software or
  applications are delivering significant
  productivity improvements for BIM-based projects.
  Construction apps that do not integrate a
  cloud-based framework can cause project
  complications and reduce efficiency. If you want
  to collaborate, work remotely, visit a job site
  through video conferencing, or even collaborate
  with your team, youll need a cloud-based
  platform and mobile device to boost productivity
  on job sites.
• Based on a study by Associated General
  Contractors of America (AGC), 85 of the
  construction contractors plan to use or already
  use cloud-based software.
• A complete understanding of the cloud enhances
  project processes, and stay ahead in the
  construction industry.

The difference between general mobile apps
cloud-based project management apps.

• Although there is an overlay between general apps
  and cloud-based projects, there is a distinct
  difference between the two. As these are two
  different types of technology, they can be easily
  classified with the following explanation.
• Mobile computing includes devices like
  smartphones, tablets, or laptops that users use
  to access the web.
• Cloud computing or virtual storage holds files,
  applications, and project data that stakeholders
  can access from anywhere, anytime.
• When choosing a suite of communication and
  collaboration apps for your cloud project, AEC
  companies and professionals can leverage the best
  of both technologies.

• iFBIM, iFCloud, and iFMeets is one cloud-based
  software super-suite that enables AEC companies
  and users the potential to leverage powerful
  project collaboration, video conferencing, and
  cloud storage all under one roof.
• Benefits of a cloud-based project management
  application.
• There are various benefits construction project
  management professionals and AEC stakeholders can
  leverage.
• 1. Optimized Accessibility Access your cloud
  applications, documents, files, and projects from
  any location that includes job sites, home, or
  any client office. With team-wide accessibility,
  project stakeholders have complete control over
  project visibility progress.

• 2. No need to update manually With cloud-based
  construction management applications, there is no
  need to update the software, as they are updated
  automatically. As information is pushed into the
  cloud, project stakeholders can leverage crucial
  information or updates.
• 3. Enhanced Collaboration Based on enhanced
  collaboration, project stakeholders can access
  files, create edits, etc. Every project member
  can view the changes instantly with cloud-based
  construction management software that includes
  cloud storage, video conferencing, and project
  collaboration software. Project collaboration
  software includes features that enhance project
  visualization with a 3D file viewer, real-time
  statistics, clash management, network sync, etc.
  Video conferencing features like whiteboards,
  screen-sharing, agendabased meetings, etc.
  enhance project collaboration and make every
  process streamlined.

• 4. Single data point source A cloud-based
  construction management app enables project
  stakeholders to leverage a common data
  environment or a single data source, the entire
  team can store, access, and collaborate data in
  the cloud. Project stakeholders can leverage
  features like large data storage, 3D model
  viewer, digital signatures, user activity
  tracking, expand project assemblies, display
  control objects, etc.
• 5. Enhanced Security Cloud-based construction
  management software augments data security as all
  project files are stored on the cloud, rather
  than on a physical drive.

• 6. Optimized time-savings Todays construction
  teams waste significant time looking for data and
  information. Construction professionals spend
  more than 30 of their time on non-productive
  activities that include looking for conflict
  resolution, project information, and deal with
  errors and rework. When cloud-based processes are
  deployed, it allows project stakeholders to save
  significant time by double-checking documents,
  work orders, 3D models, plans, etc. from any
  location, and anytime.
• 7. Unites the entire team Cloud-based project
  management apps make it efficient and easier for
  teams to collaborate. Project stakeholders can
  track project changes, work progress can be
  monitored by project managers, supervisors, or
  various trade stakeholders. With the entire team
  on the same page, each activity can be
  streamlined by analyzing and resolving issues,
  while other team members can work on project
  timelines and costs.

• 8. Cloud-based scalability Since project
  stakeholders have information at their
  fingertips, it offers exceptional scalability to
  perform multiple tasks like placing a bid, build
  important conversations, etc. This helps convert
  challenges into opportunities and completes the
  project on budget and time.
• Conclusion
• The verdict is in you dont just need mobile,
  but the cloud integrated with it. A plain mobile
  app is not a fully-functional tool as it fails to
  add a crucial cloud component, and thus serves as
  being useless. If youre not using a cloud-based
  management tool for your construction projects,
  then its time to switch and upgrade your software
  for better accessibility, efficiency,
  convenience, and security.
