Nanotechnology

idea posted by Abhik Datta Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers
According to me the technology which is doing rounds in the International arena is Nanotechnology!!

 Nanotechnology is engineering at the nanoscale to produce materials and devices with unique properties that cannot be achieved using traditional materials, Construction is heavily dependent on materials and Nanotechnology's goal is to ensure that both the industry and the people who use its products benefit fully from this revolutionary new technology, nanotechnology is used for a wide variety of construction applications, ranging from new materials for buildings, roads and bridges, through retrofitting and repair technologies to fire prevention.

Going Paperless

idea posted by Venkatesh M Warehouse Manager, Larsen and Toubro

Let me be clear on this for you first going paperless means is about electronically duplicating the paper and organizing it together with existing electronic documents, files and e-mails.

 E-mail is becoming the standard method of communicating between owners, managers and subcontractors. Electronic drafting systems have virtually replaced manual drafting. Automated accounting software has replaced manual book keeping systems. Estimating systems and electronic spreadsheets have replaced the pencil, pad and adding machines in preparing estimates. All and all, the technology advances have had a positive effect on the efficiency of a construction company, which equates to increased profitability. 

So now everything with a click of a button guys, what do you think!!!!!
