6 Most Common Text Messages Sent on Construction Sites
It might surprise most people (that don’t manage construction projects) that there hasn’t been a good solution for communicating or sending text-messages to all workers on a construction project. But to those brave souls that do manage construction workers, it’s no surprise.
Eyrus’s worker communication feature sends text messages to all workers on a construction site. Eyrus’s registration process captures a worker’s cell phone and emergency contact information – two very important pieces of information for efficient and safe construction sites. Eyrus’s construction text-messaging software allows you to text all workers and specific groups/teams of workers.
If you could text all your workers, what would you say?
Superintendents, Foremen, Safety Managers have used our mass text solution to:
send over 5,000,000 text messages in the last two years
communicating with 150,000 workers
across 300+ jobsites.
The average message is sent to over 250 workers at once.
We categorized all these messages, and here are the top 6 categories and real examples of text messages:
1. Jobsite Updates
Site Updates is a large and miscellaneous category. It’s important to let all workers know general updates about changes to the site layout, entrances, walkways, bathrooms, and especially the availability of power.
Here are a couple real examples:
2. Parking and Vehicle Updates
This category consists of “park here” and “MOVE YOUR CAR!”.
Here are a couple of examples:
3. Weather Events
On many job sites, reacting to oncoming weather is one of the most important ways to keep workers safe.
Here are a couple of examples:
4. Safety Procedures
Safety meetings and documented safety procedures keep people safe. Of course, you must remind everyone when meetings are held and where procedures are documented.
Also, hoodies and fire extinguishers need reminding too:
5. Food/Vendors
These are the texts everyone wants! Free food from a vendor, food trucks at the lunch tent, tool and boot vendors on site today. NICE!
6. Lost and Found
And of course, whose keys are these? Who lost a phone?
