Not long ago, creating a mobile project team simply meant setting everyone up with a cell phone. As phones became smarter, wireless networks improved, and data plans came down in price, contractors began to make mobility more meaningful. A new marketplace developed that offered construction-specific mobile apps for a variety of tasks, such as remote time entry, punch lists and even basic cost estimating. This quickly evolving technology has significant implications for how construction professionals communicate and perform their jobs. Additionally, the increasingly widespread use of smart devices is changing the playing field for mobile app and software providers alike.
