Why construction document management systems are crucial - Construction Week Online
        These software systems facilitate cost estimation, communication, decision-making,
        and budget management among other key functions that will greatly streamline these
        projects. Due to the growing popularity of cloud-based construction management tools,
        the industry has experienced a massive shift to the cloud over the last five years.


        As cloud-based work has become more and more prevalent in recent years to increase
        transparency and productivity on construction sites, it has grown increasingly crucial
        for companies to remain current in embracing these technologies.


        Paul Wallett, Regional Director of Trimble Solutions in the Middle East, a construction
        technology expert and software specialist, highlights a common issue among
        companies that have implemented document management systems.


        He notes that misalignment between these systems and their workflows is prevalent.
        “The mismatch is not surprising,” Paul explains, “as several document management
        systems were designed to meet general needs rather than the unique requirements of
        the construction industry. This disparity poses challenges for organisations striving to
        manage documents efficiently.”


        He further emphasises that this misalignment exacerbates existing issues, such as files
        getting lost, tedious uploads and downloads, and the regular maintenance of Word-
        based templates requiring formatting into PDFs.
























        An award-winning common data


        environment




        This situation underscores the necessity for innovative tools like Viewpoint For
        Projects and Viewpoint Field View.

        An award-winning common data environment, Viewpoint For Projects has over half a
        million users. It is a complete project information management solution for managing,
        planning, and delivering ISO19650-compliant project information, with robust
        workflows and security measures to manage projects, and facilitate effective
        collaboration among construction professionals.

        Likewise, Viewpoint Field View, on the other hand, ensures the productivity of
        construction teams with more time on-site and less time in the office for administrative
        tasks, thereby saving time, reducing costs, and mitigating risk.
