As construction projects grow in size and complexity, involving multiple agencies and sub-contractors, paper approvals and sign-offs become a costly practice.
Time can be lost moving paper around to secure a “wet signature” in ink. There’s also the cost associated with moving volumes of paper – specifications, drawings, cut-sheets, etc. – along with approval forms, especially if many wet signatures are required from multiple agencies, spread over a diverse geographic area. The cost of shipping documents alone can be significant, but project delays often translate into penalty assessments, which could be staggering.
Collaborative construction management software was created to alleviate this problem. Virtually all project documents originate electronically these days, so why not keep them in that format? There’s no reason to print CAD drawings, specifications or digital photographs to paper any more, when they can easily be transmitted electronically for approval with a digital signature, and electronically archived as well, along with approval documents.
Even when a wet signature is still required for some reason, collaborative project management software can still speed things up – just scan the document with the signature, and upload it to the system for quick notification and distribution to the interested parties. The paper can follow along behind.
Another benefit is that Internet-based software allows project participants to see the approvals from anywhere they have Internet access – even from a tablet computer on the job site.
And with electronic approvals, events and sign-offs are logged, creating an audit trail and a clear view of any required outstanding approvals. At the end of a project, electronic archive of documents and approvals can support regulatory compliance audits.
The pace of software development, and the technology that exists today, is allowing many project managers to move beyond the wet signature, and focus on project completion – on time, and on budget.

Does your construction management software follow you wherever you go? Can you access it from any device, even from a smartphone, iPad or similar tablet computer, even from every corner of the job site?
Truly collaborative project management software should untether the busy manager from the office. On the road, at the job site, or at the lunch counter, information should be available and accessible when you need it. Timely access to information can also prevent costly errors – catching mistakes early can prevent them from compounding. With today’s complex commercial and industrial construction projects the ability to quickly respond to the needs of a project are paramount to reducing risk.
EADOC designed its collaborative construction management application to follow the construction manager wherever he or she goes, on any device. Construction Managers have access to real time information about document reviews and current projects costs. You no longer have to wait for a project engineer to update the report and email it to you. You can log in and see in real time how your project is performing. EADOC works with any browser, on a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet computers, like the iPad or Xoom.
Anywhere there’s internet access you have instant access to all your project information including drawings, specifications, change orders and pay estimates. And with EADOC, each project participant has instant access to information you have shared with them electronically, ensuring that Contractors, Engineers, Architects, and clients all have access to current real time information.
Your construction management software should match how you do business, and follow you right into the field if it has to. With EADOC, your information is right there with you when you need it.
