A project can take a long period to complete, sometimes years. Many times, during this period, data is recorded on paper leading to piles of documents that could be stored incorrectly, might be difficult to access on time, the information might get lost, destroyed, or breached due to harsh work conditions, right? 

More and more construction companies decide to start performing digital inspections to avoid shortfalls and unwanted scenarios, especially when managing daily workflows. Construction companies that have already started their digital transformation have understood that it is essential for reaching their objectives on time to drop out paper-based inspections and start performing digital inspections. 

To help business professionals understand why digital inspections help construction companies deliver better projects, we put together a list of advantages. 

A construction project involves many parties, from the workforce to the equipment, vehicle fleets, partners, suppliers to clients. All these parties involved need proper management to perform well and to align with one another. How easy would it be if you had all these aspects in one place? 

Because of their complexity, construction projects require an up-to-date collaboration with as few as possible back and forth situations or chaotic processes that create gaps in coordination and collaboration. 

You have probably experienced working in unpredictable weather, or receiving last-minute client changes, inconsistent contractors, or equipment failing right when you needed it the most. These make the collaboration and the coordination between the construction site and the administrative staff difficult, slow, and often inaccurate when you run paper-based inspections. 

No doubt, one of your top priorities is to keep everyone safe on the construction site, identify hazardous situations, and prevent any accidents of any kind. Maintenance and compliance issues might occur when completing and processing paper-based inspections are inefficient and slow. 

How satisfying would it be for a site manager to quickly solve repairs, replacements, and ensure compliance with the regulations imposed? Performing digital inspections, you gain the agility to oversee any avoidable repairs, compliance failures, or litigation risks. 

Poor data management and storage might lead to breaches that might cost you the organization's compliance.  You can easily avoid this once you store and structure data correctly. It will also save you time and energy.
