NATIONAL (Feb. 23, 2015) – Technology has increased communication and collaboration among the general workforce, but the construction industry hasn’t leveraged such innovation until now. Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Power Design Inc. is one of the largest full-service electrical contractors in the United States, with more than 160 active projects across the country. The company has enhanced its ability to deliver quality projects on time to its customers by rolling out new iPad and iPhone devices with state-of-the-art applications to every active jobsite.

More than 680 devices with 7,135 apps were distributed to over 400 trained employees; providing instant, real-time access to project information, as well as Power Design training and management websites. The iPad rollout and new plan management system gives the operations teams an innovative edge in today’s fast-moving construction industry and helps increase communication and collaboration while improving efficiency and budget for their clients.
These devices also provide easy access to all of Power Design Inc.’s interactive employee websites, including the Best Practices and Superintendent sites, which provide tools, training and resources on Power Design’s processes and preferred installation techniques from project start to finish.

“These are exciting times for us in construction with technology utilization in the industry continuing to evolve at a breathtaking pace.
