Floorcloud, a technology provider in the construction industry, announced it has selected Verizon Business as connectivity provider for its jobsite climate monitoring intelligence technology. 

Floorcloud enables contractors to remotely monitor their jobsite’s interior climate conditions in near real-time, 24/7 from any mobile device or computer. Verizon’s cellular IoT offering enables Floorcloud to provide reliability across North America, the company said. 

"Habitually, the construction industry has been a late adopter. I would say that in some senses, we're behind the curve," said David Meberg, CEO of Consolidated Flooring. "Tools like this did not exist years ago. When we went out to the jobsites, we had to do our own record keeping or, worse, rely on other entities to do the record keeping and trust that it was valid. This piece of equipment can be utilized on any type of job or used by any type of contractor, regardless of size, to protect their installations and the bottom line of their businesses.”

Floorcloud is used by a variety of specialty and general contractors to greatly improve jobsite quality control. Each hour, Floorcloud sensors record and compare ambient climate conditions to those specified by product manufacturers. If jobsite conditions go out of specification, Floorcloud users immediately receive push notification, text alerts on their mobile devices. This greatly benefits key project stakeholders since it enables unfavorable conditions to be identified in real-time so that problems can be avoided.
