Construction & Engineering Management

Engineering and construction depend more on clear and accurate communications than the average person realizes. From concept to blueprint to project planning and contracting, everything needs to be carefully scheduled and coordinated, particularly on large, complex projects. Videoconferencing helps in the following areas:

• Reviewing architecture design and site-adaptation maps of geographical area surroundings -- rather than gathering a group at the construction site, an aerial view can provide a better perspective
• Keeping everyone posted concerning changes in regulatory and environmental constraints
• Coordination of multiple projects on a site -- the scalability of some of today's projects can quickly spin out of control without ongoing communication
• Gathering key personnel -- many of today's large developers are using videoconferencing to bring together everyone from the architect and site engineer to the concrete provider and interior design firm to coordinate their efforts and schedules
• Employing document readers and other technologies to project the site layout, architectural design, building specifications, and landscaping
• Remote site management

Videoconferencing is particularly useful in remote site construction, where it can offer opportunities for people who feel out of the loop to participate. Even malfunctions of equipment or repairs can be handled via the conference by bringing in specialists to identify the problems and oversee the repairs. As the cost of new construction continues to rise, the construction industry is likely to expand its use of video communications rapidly in the next several years.
