Overview

The iExtranet Building & Construction solution is a solution for exchanging large files online dedicated to professionals in the construction and building industry.
It enables a project supervisor to manage a construction project efficiently and to easily exchange large files such as images, designs or reports, whatever their size or format, with everyone involved in the project (builders, architects, project managers, design consultants, estate agents, estate managers, etc.).

One requirement: to coordinate the production and exchange of large files (designs, images, etc.)

Working methods and site-specific environments have very particular requirements when it comes to collaborative working and exchanging large files:

  • Coordinating the production of various project designs (external works design plans, flows, structure, architectural, etc.).
  • Centralising these exchanges of large files between everyone working at the site.
  • Simplifying the sending and receipt of plans between partners, most of whom are novice computer users.

A simple, universal solution for exchanging large files

The ease of use of the iExtranet Building & Construction solution for exchanging large files is one of the key factors of the solution’s success.

Its user-friendliness and intuitive features means it is easily adopted by all users, even computer novices.

Due to the range of different people involved in a construction project and the time constraints of the industry, the iExtranet Building & Construction file exchange solution is designed for rapid implementation without the need for prior training.
