How bonded internet solutions can save construction site managers time and money

If you’re in charge of operations for construction sites, you’ll be responsible for the success of projects and you’ll know how essential it is to deliver on time and to budget. If your on-site technology needs an upgrade to help you connect and create more quickly, then read on to find out how bonded internet access can help you run more productive and efficient sites.

Why construction sites need fast online connections

To run an efficient site and maintain excellent customer relationships you need good connectivity. You need a reliable internet connection to communicate with architects, contractors and clients to keep your sites running efficiently. Your site workers, guest contractors, architects, and visitors need immediate access to plans, surveys and orders as well as technical and health and safety information. Good internet access is essential for effective supplier management, surveys, geolocation and workflow.

Good connectivity is essential, but construction managers, who are under pressure to have connectivity to site from day one, are often let down by Carriers and infrastructure providers who don’t have the solutions focus to blend different connectivity types and deliver consistency, scalability and high reliability levels that are needed.

What’s the risk of no connectivity?

If your connection isn’t good enough, or you suffer a delay getting your line installed, then you could be facing significant project delays. As well as the potential financial penalties, this may be harmful to your company’s brand, affecting their likelihood of winning future contracts and potentially putting future work prospects at risk.

Without reliable, high quality internet access, your site’s communications and applications are hindered and sites can’t run as efficiently as they need to. Site productivity can be impacted as a result of poor, intermittent, or absent communications infrastructure.

If your company has suffered from the average three days of internet downtime each year, then you’ll know how much that can cost the business.

This means that unreliable or delayed connections can have impacts on client relationships, contract management and on-site safety as well as the bottom line. The benefits of having reliable connectivity outweigh the costs.

What’s the solution?

Construction managers across the UK working on sites where fixed connections are limited, expensive or impossible are investing in reliable and secure cost-effective bonded internet solutions. Bonded internet access can help you to get high performance connectivity to sites as soon as you need it. This relieves the pressure on you and your IT Director.

Construction industry decision makers are using portable bonded internet on flexible contracts. The mobile nature of the technology means that units can be transported across an estate of different sites. These units are robust in harsh conditions and make use of multiple internet providers and technologies to optimise performance.
