The Construction industry is one of the largest and most fragmented in the world, being riddled with inefficiency onsite and operational disputes and conflicts all too frequently create extra cost burdens.

The introduction of new web technologies has until now lacked integration along common and simple standards. This is costing hundreds of millions of pounds annually through wasted, ineffective and duplicated activities. And the pressure from all sides to reduce costs has meant that companies have to improve their operational efficiency through IT.

McBains Cooper, in partnership with software experts, has developed a web-based collaboration tool that meets user objectives in a new and interpretative way of working, collaborating and managing projects. The software solution creates a new virtual workplace, driving efficiency and accuracy into the industry at easily affordable prices, while creating a full audit trail.

By introducing a simple and easy to use internet-based system, employees, customers, partners and suppliers are provided with the platform needed to work efficiently together in real time.

From anywhere and at any time, users can:

• Store centrally and manage all documents, CAD drawings, reports, photographs, correspondence and multimedia presentations, irrespective of format.
• Share consistent and accurate real time information
• Collaborate effectively on integrated activities
• Communicate in a secure and controlled environment
• Upload, access, share, review and authorise project material.

In addition, managers and occupants can use the specialist task management, workflow and scheduling tools for day to day control. Users can report problems or request services directly from within the system.
