Sundt is always looking for new ways to improve how we do business. Whether it’s through better management techniques, safety advances or emerging technologies, it is our goal to deliver the highest quality products to our owners. Recently we’ve adopted another major improvement in the field by using an innovative new computer technology called the Rock* system.

Rock*, an acronym for Remote Office Construction Kit, is a sleek and portable tablet PC designed for rugged environments. These tablets use Adobe Acrobat software to help manage and display project information and are equipped with touch-screen technology rather than a keyboard, so users can easily move between programs and comment on files with just the touch of a stylus.

Sundt personnel believe the Rock* tablets are far better equipped for field use than standard laptops as all documents relating to the project are easily stored and viewed on the screen. Rock* tablets allow field personnel to easily navigate through the record set and integrate current information before stepping into the field. And with built-in cameras, the tablets allow for easy documentation of jobsite issues or questions. With just a few clicks, Sundt personnel can snap a photo and send the file via email to someone else for input.

Having eliminated the back and forth shuffle between job site and trailer and the resulting communication delays, Rock* tablets have brought about greater accuracy of decision-making in the field and efficiency on the job site – and that means we deliver a product of higher quality to our owners, each and every time. View our projects or contact us to learn more about how we can apply this and other leading-edge technologies to help make your project a success.

    What an impressive technology for construction coordination! I felt like I was watching a Star Trek episode while navigating through a present day project. Thanks to Sundt for sharing their cutting edge project delivery and showing us their new high tech office.
