 When construction leaders talk about productivity, forecasting, and growth, the conversation often centers on tools and applications. But behind every digital jobsite is a network that determines whether those systems deliver real-time visibility or break down under pressure.In this episode of Go Beyond the Connection, we sit down with Thomas Berrington, Chief Information Officer at French Brothers Homes, to explore how wireless connectivity and owned data have become the operational backbone of modern homebuilding.Thomas brings a rare blend of operational and technology leadership to the construction industry. With a background in restaurant operations and data analysis before stepping into construction IT, he prioritizes initiatives that directly impact efficiency and the bottom line. At French Brothers Homes, he has helped transform the business from paper-driven workflows to cloud-connected execution in the field, enabling builders to manage significantly more homes with fewer administrative bottlenecks.For Thomas, the digital jobsite is not about adding more software. It is about ensuring that data is connected, accessible, and actionable across trade partners, inspectors, office teams, and customers.Key learnings from this episode:Why data ownership is foundational for breaking down silos and improving forecast accuracyHow real-time operational visibility allows builders to scale without proportional increases in staffingWhy downtime creates a “whipsaw effect” across construction schedulesHow wireless-first network design, mixed-carrier strategies, and redundancy protect uptime in undeveloped environments“Having the data at our fingertips and having that ownership allows us to make data-driven decisions. We have gone from managing five to ten homes per builder to fifteen to twenty homes at a time because of connectivity and cloud-connected data, and maintaining that connectivity is essential to operating and growing in today’s business environment.” – Thomas BerringtonThomas also explains why construction should be viewed as a project management business powered by data. When real-time updates stop flowing, communication gaps quickly cascade into delays, cost overruns, and customer frustration. By contrast, resilient wireless connectivity enables continuous visibility across projects, allowing leaders to aggregate data at scale and make faster, more confident decisions.If you lead IT, operations, or digital transformation in construction, this episode offers a clear blueprint for aligning connectivity strategy with measurable business impact. The wireless backbone of the digital jobsite is not optional. It is the foundation for scalable growth.Related Content:The Digital Jobsite: The Wireless Backbone of Modern ConstructionHow Wireless Connectivity for Construction Jobsites Enables Scalable GrowthWhy Data Ownership in Construction Forecasting Drives Smarter GrowthWireless-First Network Design for Construction: Building Resiliency Into the JobsiteThe Digital Jobsite: The Wireless Backbone of Modern Construction | Thomas Berrington | Go BeyondThe Digital Jobsite: Real-Time Data and Wireless Scale | Thomas Berrington Go Beyond the ConnectionWhy Data Ownership Drives Forecast AccuracyDesigning Reliable Connectivity for JobsitesGo Beyond: The Digital Jobsite - YouTube
