When the initial frame of a house is completed, the next few months will feature a whole extravaganza of workers who are nearly impossible to coordinate without apt communication. Improper schedules can result in hefty delays, which is unacceptable when homeowners expect to move in on a tight deadline. However, two-way radios can ensure that workers will know where and when they need to be at any given moment.

For example, tile is laid on top of a base of cement with a layer of mortar. Each square is precisely leveled and arranged to support the weight of the tile next to it – if someone walks on this surface before the cement hardens, the entire project will be ruined. A portable radio like the Motorola CP200 can enable a tile mason to inform electricians, painters and other workers that a certain area is off limits. In turn, electricians wearing heavy gloves can utilize the large transmit button to communicate when power will be switched on and off. Up to 16 channels can be assigned to separate construction teams.

Two-way radios can centralize the indispensable communication needed on a construction site, and should be utilized by foremans everywhere.
