Poor communication in a construction project is one of the prime reasons why projects incur damage and fail. Here are several ways poor communication can impact a project.

How paper-based documentation spread the infection

For over half a year we have to live and work in a pandemic of COVID-19. Many safeguards are already in place and continue to be implemented in workflows to keep the businesses open. The infection is primarily spread person to person by small droplets, or by contacting contaminated surfaces. Social distancing, personal hygiene, and personal protective equipment reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. Most businesses are forced to work with documents and this causes the risk in several directions at once.

Posted on November 10, 2020 by Daria Ivantsova

Why construction companies should abandon paper forms

The problems associated with using paper to manage safety at construction sites are well known but often continue to be ignored. A paper-based system of reporting, inspection and management is extremely unreliable.
