iPad makes working together in the field easy.
Rogers-O’Brien has been constructing buildings in Texas since 1969. Today, Apple hardware and software play an important role in improving communications onsite and reducing expensive rework. Where superintendents used to carry heavy reams of paper up and down stairs and use cranes to lift plan tables to each job site, now they carry an iPad. And where different trades like electrical, mechanical and landscape specialists required access to over 10,000 bits of different information, now they just open a few powerful iPadOS apps. iPad also captures job site information like never before, with both the built-in camera and the ability to control camera drones across the construction site.
