Twenty-First Century Construction Goes Paperless
Michael Snedeker is an executive vice president for Elite Building Corp, a Waltham, Massachusetts-based company that works on projects in the Greater Boston area. Michael Snedeker is primarily involved in commercial real estate transactions. In the last few months, construction has been one of the industries that have to adopt safety measures to reduce transmission of COVID-19. One of these measures has been to transition from using paper floor plans and other documents to a paperless format. One advantage of going paperless includes being able to communicate more effectively among construction professionals. In the past, common ways to disseminate information has been through email, phone call, post-it notes, and message pads. Going paperless provides construction professionals with a platform from which all information is stored, reducing errors or lapses due to miscommunication. In addition to allowing for more effective communication, a paperless platform supported by user-friendly software provides consistency because the information is stored in one place. Also, a paperless system makes documentation accessible to all stakeholders. As opposed to retrieving information from locked file cabinets and other storage spaces, an electronic copy is available to those with a username and a passcode. In the case of a breach, managers can easily investigate and prevent further problems.
