Connectivity for demolition contractors

Permits, surveys and disposal records have to be on hand at every stage. Heavy equipment, remote sites and tight margins leave little room for a crew waiting on information.

Internet, wireless and security for demolition contractors

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

The office handles permit portals, survey reports and waste documentation online.

Wireless

Supervisors send photo records and safety reports from sites with no fixed service.

Security

Hazard surveys and client property records are sensitive documents.

Paperwork from a building with no power

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

Before anything comes down, there are surveys, permits and disposal records to file, and safety reports to send every day. The building has no power and no service, and the nearest office is forty minutes away.

What a consultant changes

A Telecom Agency advisor sets up a self-contained kit: a cellular router, the right data plan and devices that keep working in dust. The plan is on a term that matches the length of the job, because a broker reads the contract as carefully as the coverage map.

How Telecom Agency shops the market for demolition contractors

The advice
Sites have no power and no service, so the advice is a self-contained kit: a cellular router, an antenna and a plan with enough data for daily reports and photo records.
The price
The plan is written to last as long as the project. Equipment is bought or rented depending on how often it will be reused, and both options are costed.
The service
At the end of the job the service is closed or moved to the next site. The advisor keeps the kit's details on file so reordering takes one call.
