They have to meet needs that change by the hour, day or month. Specialty Construction develops and deploys exciting technologies to meet these fast-paced needs. They save a lot of time in the drawing of designs, allowing information to be reused from one project to the next. Computerized Estimating systems are also available to make Specialty Construction easier, faster and more accurate. These estimating systems can use a computer mouse or electronic pen to add up the cost of projects.
Users simply click on or touch drawings, blueprints or images of the project plans.
There are also new ideas and machines used to fabricate piping, electrical conduit and HVAC ductwork. Specialty contractors will often employ these techniques to manufacture and pre-assemble products indoors at their own facilities. This eliminates the difficulties of assembling those components outdoors or at project sites. It's making equipment work better and longer and more efficient. Like other computer-based tools, these systems point out the value computer skills have in Specialty Construction.
