Mobile technology has reshaped the construction industry in the following ways: Mobile apps have improved the efficiency of site inspections by enabling workers to easily collect information using drop-down lists and databases. They have also reduced errors by providing clear value fields and checkboxes. The use of more mobile devices on construction sites provides real-time reporting tools that allow project managers to track team performance, project costs, and make informed decisions to complete projects on estimated budgets. The future of construction will see extensive use of digital technologies like wearable smart sensors, the Internet of Things, tablets with WiFi, tool tracking, and 3D printing, which will further change the industry for the better. Adopting these mobile

1. The Future of Mobility in Construction
Construction industry is among the most booming industries in the world today. Its
importance is not backed by its size only but also by its contribution in economic
growth.
It has played a key role in offering income opportunities in both formal and informal
sector be it unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workforce.
As per the results based on the CIC's (Construction Intelligence Center) Global 50, a
group of 50 largest and most influential markets in the world,
The global construction industry is anticipated to grow from US$7.4 trillion in
2010 to US$8.5 trillion in 2015 and to US$10.3 trillion in 2020.
One of the major reasons behind this impressive growth rate in the construction
industry is mobile technology.

2. With industry facing constant challenges and changes, fixed margins, high competition
and shortage of skilled labor, mobility solutions have always delivered biggest and
quickest return on investment.
Today more than 80% of construction of company consider mobile as their highest
priority to improve communication & collaboration and to streamline process.
Here’s how it has reshaped the entire process of handling construction projects:
Thorough Site Inspections
Paper processes are prone to several vulnerabilities and inefficiencies when it comes to
site inspections. Workers sometimes write the same information repeatedly by using
expensive carbon copies, which are hard to understand and easy to get misplaced.
On the contrary, a mobile app for site inspections greatly improves the efficiency of the
workers associated with the projects. One can use drop-down lists and collect
information like location or equipment types from the database easily. In fact, many
mobile devices have also voice-to-text features, which enable workers to speak into the
device and record notes.
Less Error and Fewer Costs
Not all the workers are blessed with good handwriting. Hence, paper forms can easily
be unclear and misunderstood. Mobile apps serve users with checkboxes and different
types of value fields to get information in real time. This eventually forces employees to
provide clear descriptions and result in reduce costs.
More Devices Ensures Better Control
Since big data and business intelligence are the most important facets of construction
industry, embracing more devices on the field provide real-time reporting tools to keep
an eye on the team performance and project costs.
With the help of mobile, project managers are able to forecast any required corrections
to take informed decisions and complete projects with an estimated budget. Whether it

anywhere.
Future of Mobile technology in Construction
The future of construction industry includes extensive digital involvement. Some of the
tech gadgets and apps that will change the construction world for the better are
wearable smart sensors, The Internet of things, Tablets and Wi-Fi, Tool tracking and 3D
printing.
So, be an early adopter of this technology for your business and experience the
amazing benefits it brings along.
