To send a message to a contact, follow the steps below:

Click in to the search field and start typing to search for address book contacts.
Note: if the contact you are looking for is not in the list, you can add them by clicking the “ADD NEW CONTACT” BUTTON.
Type your message and add any related attachments.
You can add a file from your document register, markup and attach a plan, attach a form notice from one of your management registers or add any file from your device.
After clicking the “SEND” button, contacts will receive an email notification like the one below.
Recipients of your message can respond by replying directly from their email, or click the VIEW ONLINE button and send a reply via the messages interface.
Note: Sending a normal message to multiple contacts will start individual message threads between the creator and recipients. If you would like to start a discuss between a number of contacts, use the Group Message option.

Everyone working in construction has dealt at some point with a defect issue that has set the project back in time and/or financially. Many of these occasions are likely result in the reflection that “If we caught this earlier we wouldn’t have to redo this or that”.
You may need to manage hundreds of events each day on a construction site, but safety is still the number one priority. All workers, including the sub-contractors, should have a good understanding of the safety procedures before work starts. It is difficult to manage and you may incur penalties without a proper WHS management plan.

This post focuses on evaluating the pros and cons of construction contractors using Cloud-hosted, construction Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solution as compared with on-premises (“On-premise”) custom-built solution.
