In this day of iPhones, Droids and Blackberries, the construction industry has to deal with new forms of communication.

Since we live in world of mobile devices and technology, you have to assume that everyone else is on the same mobile playing field and is working on-the-go.

What does that mean? It means that as a construction executive, management member or project level player, you are being pulled in all directions. On some days, you may be in the office, while other days you may be onsite, and even other days you are traveling across the country.

One area where you can improve your communication skills is to make sure you actually explain what is attached to the email because it may be read on a mobile device.
