Industry guide: Construction sites

How construction sites use InfoBox: schedules, safety briefings, lunch menus for workers, project progress.

3 min readLast updated: 2026-05-09

Introduction

Construction sites are dust, dirt, and rotating crews. InfoBox screens in the worker tent, mess hall, or site office help share critical information that would otherwise need a daily standup or paper notice. The audience cycles fast (different crews, different days), so screen-friendly, glanceable content matters more than detail.

What construction sites typically display

Common content:

  • Today's schedule: which crew is doing what and where, from Sitedrive.
  • Project progress dashboard: % complete, milestone tracking.
  • Safety briefings of the week: rotating safety topics, scheduled to fit shift transitions.
  • Lunch menu: from Lounastaja, especially for sites with on-site catering.
  • Site rules and PPE reminders: always-on slides as background.
  • Subcontractor coordination notes: who's on site today, contact for issues.

Integrations to use

Construction-friendly integrations:

  • Sitedrive: the standard tool for Finnish construction project management. Embed schedules and dashboards via iframe. See Sitedrive integration.
  • Lounastaja: for sites with worker meals provided by external caterers. See Lounastaja integration.
  • Power BI: site-level safety statistics and progress dashboards if your company tracks them. See Power BI dashboards.

Screen placement matters

Where the screen lives shapes the content:

  • Worker tent / mess hall: most-watched screen. Schedules and lunch menu work best here.
  • Site office: progress dashboard, subcontractor info, document references.
  • Site entrance: PPE reminders and visitor information.
  • Multiple sites: build a per-site playlist, use the same screen at each site to display its own content.

Summary

Construction sites benefit from Sitedrive integration for schedules, Lounastaja for catering menus, and per-site playlists for distributing the right content to each site. Place screens where workers gather (tent, mess hall) for highest visibility.
