Whether you're building a high rise or a highway, power plant or a water treatment facility, the success of your project depends on how connected your team is to critical information from site preparation and design through construction and close-out. Unfortunately, FTP servers, binders full of paper, and legacy applications can't hack the anywhere, anytime information requirements of today's mobile workforce.
Now you can arm your superintendents and project managers with the latest plans wherever they are-plus transform the way you deliver bid packages to subs and suppliers-with Box.
Box is a cost-effective, cloud service that lets you quickly and easily store blueprints and quotes then securely share them with consultants, contractors, and clients. It's priced as a fixed cost per user, per month-with no per page or per job additions, and no overage charges. You can store as many files as you like, and only pay for your employees-third-party collaborators are free.
Save $50,000-$80,000 per Job: Vince Sarubbi, CIO, Webcor Builders, www.webcor.com, San Francisco, Calif., estimates the company is saving $50,000-$80,000 per job with Box by reducing reproduction costs, allowing instant access to project documents, and significantly reducing the amount of documentation that is transported and stored at the end of every project. Its workflow begins with Box, then as needed, project teams log into PlanGrid, www.plangrid.com, San Francisco, Calif., access the secure Box files, and view them on iPads.
Eliminate Paper for Invitations to Bid: While your company may not do Webcor-sized jobs, you can use Box to bring thousands of extra dollars to your bottomline, especially when you automate the invitation-to-bid process. Because Box is incredibly easy to use, your employees are up and running in no time, uploading and sharing projects for bid instantly. Contractors can in turn upload their bids for review just as quickly and easily-with complete privacy and security.
