New app modernizes construction
Summary
Doug Scott remembers the advent of a once-revolutionary piece of technology, and how he thought it was the greatest thing to happen to construction since the hard hat. The challenge we’ve always had is, how do you keep track of what’s going on at the sites?” An engineer by training, Scott has spent his career in construction. I think this whole improvement in the technology side of things is appealing to younger people, as well as being cost-effective and helping our productivity.” Matthew Walmsley, a 26-year-old project coordinator at Wales McLelland, comes from a family background in construction. Yet, he said, “What really piqued my interest as I grew up, and especially when I finished my schooling, was Wales McLelland’s advancement in technology, and in putting something like SiteMAX together. The ability to have something like this really makes it a lot more efficient.” Scott would like to see SiteMAX widely adopted, as much as a sign that the construction industry has moved beyond the fax machine as for its efficiency and transparency.
