Bridging the Gap for Construction
If you feel that your productivity is inhibited by poor software that
- forces you to enter the same data again and again,
- or you are working with spreadsheets that are never accurate/ up to date,
- or you have problems communicating with your partners in the supply chain
- or any of the other niggles that get in the way of actually doing your job
then you are in very good company.
Most IT departments are too busy keeping the basics running. The Network, user support, large applications that require that the company changes to meet what they provide rather than software that delivers what the company needs.
TheDevTeam can provide the bridge. We are a small team of 'Full Stack Developers' each with over 15 years' experience working as a team to deliver an 'agile' development service to long term customers. We can implement bespoke IT productivity tools to your business either on a monthly budgeted basis; or as one-off projects, as the needs arise.
- Collaboration tools
- Document Libraries
- Specialist Retrieval Systems
- API implementation between supply chain software systems
- Data visualisation tools
- Email tools
- Asset registers based around COBie data for BIM projects
- Access databases that need to be updated to SQL
Our long-term involvement with the Construction industry means that we have a clear understanding of terminology and working methods, and the challenges faced.
If there are ‘quick fixes’ you would like us to look at, or larger projects, please give me a call on 07973 312422 or Marc@thedevteam.co.uk and we can arrange a virtual meeting.
And if this is outside your area of responsibility but you have a need – please forward this email to the correct person in your organisation.
Thank you

TheDevTeam have been providing IT services to the Construction industry for over 15 years. Not the hardware or Networks, but the software and databases that are at the heart of improving efficiency.
It is only 30 years since Tim Berners-Lee
invented the Internet, but its influence has been
profound, not only in our personal lives, but also
in the way we do business.
There is a simple rule of thumb that says that if you have a large records set and/or more than half a dozen concurrent users on an Access database, then you might benefit from a move to Microsoft SQL Server. At above these levels you are likely to find that Access becomes slow to respond and occasionally locks up whole pages of records that are being used by other users.
Get the most value from your software by integrating their API (Application Programming Interface) into your in house applications.
