Construction projects have many moving parts, and managing all those different elements is crucial for project success. One wrong piece of information can create a snowball effect and potentially lead to project teams building off the wrong set of plans resulting in schedule delays, cost overruns, and a loss in morale.
One way to ensure that teams are coordinated and working off the latest data set is connected construction. By connecting and integrating workflows and data, information flows seamlessly from one system to the next, ensuring collaboration across stakeholders. At its core, connected construction connects teams, processes, and information from start to finish across the project’s lifecycle.
To better understand how our customers define connected construction and the value of integrated workflows, we asked, “what does connected construction mean to you?” The following response is from Kaitlin Frank, Superintendent at Dome Construction.

I'm Kaitlin Frank. I'm a superintendent for Dome Construction.
I use my iPad for everything. It's allowed me to be anywhere on the jobsite and be connected to everything that I need to run the jobsite.
Connected Construction is eliminating that island feel as a superintendent when you're on the jobsite. And bringing together your project manager, your operational staff, your design teams, your MEP teams and bringing everyone into one space.
Having the integrated capabilities is going to allow for less miscommunication and having everyone come back to this one connected point where we can all communicate, we can see the workflows, and everything is right there.
Not having the latest information in real-time, it not only has an impact on construction, it has an impact on morale. Having the latest and greatest information right there and then, it changes the way we build.
