#### 4.3.2 Interviewees' Feedback  
Response to Question 1: Mobile devices used in construction activities or are you aware of these in your organization:  
* Cloud/Mobile BIM-Informat (C/M BIM-I) (1): For Question 1, the interviewee cited all four popular mobile devices that have been used within their organization. These include iPhones, iPads, Samsung smartphones and tablet PCs (Samsung). * C/M BIM-I (2): For Question 1, the interviewee stated that in their organization, iPads and iPhones were mostly used. * C/M BIM-I (3): For Question 1, the interviewee stated that Samsung smartphones and Samsung tablets mostly and occasionally iPads were used. * C/M BIM-I (4): For Question 1, the interviewee stated that iPads, iPhones, Samsung smartphones and Samsung tablets were used. * C/M BIM-I (5): For Question 1, the interviewee stated that iPads, iPhones, Samsung smartphones and Samsung tablets were often used. Just like all of the interviewees, these are the mobile devices in use in the telecommunications market in the UK. Response to Question 2: Main uses/applications of mobile devices in construction projects:
* C/M BIM-I (1): For Question 2, the interviewee named a number of software applications used by their organization. Some of them were in-house products. [PERSON]/[PERSON] mentioned that Huddle (similar to Dropbox) was widely used as an information management system that provides a collaborative platform. Typically, it was used to share and access project information with external stakeholders with different firewall online. Also, the use of BIM 360 field and BIM 360 glue, was commonplace with their contractors, given its ability to be used as a graphical tool, thus viewing models in 3D. It was frequently used for collaborating in the cloud as software as a service. The cloud provision service was offered by Amazon. In trying to move away from the use of applications to new technology, the focus was more on mobile web-based applications. The strategy adopted was the change of the data management system, which offered complete access to data using a cloud-based web platform, offering secure access for an open system. Adoption of such a system had the ability to reduce maintenance costs, and offered little or no security of the cloud-based system impediments, given that this aspect was managed by a service provider. * C/M BIM-I (2): For Question 2, the interviewee stated that the most commonly used package was Assemble BIM 360 software application within their organization. It was noted however that the C/M BIM-I (2)'s organisation was not heavily involved with mobile/cloud BIM technology. * C/M BIM-I (3): For Question 2, the informant mentioned that Navisworks software applications was used very often within their organization. Typically, it was used for: (a) clash detention, \begin{table}
