Construction Industry
SharePoint solutions designed for the unique needs of your industry.
We understand that one of the biggest challenges for the construction industry is staying within budget and on schedule. Having complete visibility during each stage of a project and managing unforeseen changes and delays can help avoid profitability loss. Having the right technology in place can help your construction business to overcome this challenge.
We have worked with several construction companies in addressing problems around:
- Effectively managing subcontractor agreements and operations.
- Optimising tasks, resources, and schedules for efficient project completion.
- Ensuring a single version of diagrams, drawings, and schematics used by field engineers or architects.
- Centralising project-related information and making it accessible anytime, anywhere, on any device.
If you are using Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), you already have the technology available to overcome the above challenges. You can start by modernising how you communicate and collaborate internally with a SharePoint Intranet.
