There's the hub

Article Abstract:

Construction industry executives and managers can access constantly up dated pictures of project sites by using the PhotoHub service developed by Gleeds Technology. The service costs 130 pounds sterling for a three-month rental period, allowing digital photographs of sites to be accessed anywhere in the world and downloaded for further use. Project managers believe the site will help them better manager sites, while the insurance industry sees a need for the site when assessing policy claims.

Crown House Engineering claims to be able to reduce its workforce on site to six from the usual 35, with a 15% reduction of time on site, by using pre-assembled modules. Some 230 modules, which are assembled at Crown's plant in Wolverhampton, have been installed in 6 Brindley Place, an eight-storey office block measuring 10,000 square metres. Each module is built around a fan coil unit which ventilates the office with hot or cold air.
