From contracts and standards through to feasibility reports and tender documents, text documents continue to be an essential part of delivering construction projects. It’s an area that still causes too much administrative pain where even minor version control issues can result in disputes.

We automate all the merging and allow content to be reused and adapted across documents, like back-to-back contracts.
11:30 – Tejas Thomas – Novade
Drive improvements on the field in terms of Quality, Safety and Productivity all while collecting valuable datasets for analytics. Join us on this talk to explore how the challenges of data fragmentation on the field can be overcome to generate operational efficiencies.
