It is no secret that here at Building Team Solutions we strive to connect employees with employers. But, we also love providing valuable information and insight. We work with several construction firms across the US. We’ve found many construction firms are growing because apps are making more business possible. More business equates to  construction managers having to travel extensively in order to secure projects, visit job sites, and meet with project stakeholders.

If you’re in the construction industry, especially the management side, check out these apps that will help you streamline your responsibilities and the project better.

#1. SmartBidNet: For all the preconstruction managers, estimators, and other commercial builders, this app lets system subscribers access bid project and subcontractor data on-the-go. It is awesome way to have everyone involved in a single project regardless of their location.

#2. MagicPlan: Estimate, measure, and calculate on-site using the camera on your phone and this app. Creating and sharing a floor plan without picking up a pen or touching a computer is the best addition within the construction industry. You have to try this app!

#3. TripIt: Send all your confirmation numbers (hotel, car, flight) and trip details to TripIt and watch  it organize your schedule and provides a succinct snapshot of all your individual and group trips. You can also share your trips with family and coworkers so they can keep track of you.

There are several other apps that do compliment the construction industry. However, we have found these three to be the most used on the job and within the industry. Try downloading one or all of them today. Share your thoughts with us on Facebook or Twitter!
