The answer is quite simple: they haven\u2019t caught up with the growing internet trend. It\u2019s unfortunate, but many businesses in the engineering industry haven\u2019t realized that it\u2019s even possible for them to function as a solely online business. MFS Engineering is truly ahead of the curve. Many people find comfort in familiarity and sticking to the \u201ctraditional\u201d way of doing things- not MFS Engineering. When nearly 9 out of 10 consumers are researching local businesses online instead of in person, there\u2019s only one way to ensure that our business stays relevant- by creating a strong and transparent online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating as a cloud-based business means that we can be more attentive to customer\u2019s need, readily available for communications and more effective as forensic engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most important advantages of cloud-based engineering businesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><style>\/*! elementor - v3.6.5 - 27-04-2022 *\/<br \/>\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-4ba5935\" data-block-id=\"4ba5935\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved standard of living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-6b88a28\" data-block-id=\"6b88a28\"><style>.stk-6b88a28{height:30px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud-based business advantages extend beyond directly helping our customers and can actually improve the standard of living of our forensic structural engineers- which in turn benefits customers. Our business model allows our engineers to work from home, which means they can get more rest, be in a comfortable work environment and avoid rush hour commutes. It\u2019s important to us that our engineers are able to work for a company that appreciates them and strives to improve their standard of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><style>\/*! elementor - v3.6.5 - 27-04-2022 *\/<br \/>\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-aff97f2\" data-block-id=\"aff97f2\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"653\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-2.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-2.jpg.webp 653w, https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-2.jpg-300x171.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-1342661\" data-block-id=\"1342661\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick turnaround<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-f5ec67d\" data-block-id=\"f5ec67d\"><style>.stk-f5ec67d{height:30px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of cloud-based businesses for our employees from improved standard of living, less commute time and the most comfortable working environment of all have led to increased productivity and, equally as important, quick turnaround. At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/\">MFS Engineering<\/a>, we have been able to exceed client\u2019s expectations by delivering the highest quality of work possible in less time than they could have imagined- all thanks to our cloud-based forensic structural engineering business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-3d32dd3\" data-block-id=\"3d32dd3\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greater efficiency and productivity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-866d376\" data-block-id=\"866d376\"><style>.stk-866d376{height:30px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistically, more and more people are choosing to work from home- and it makes sense. Less time spent commuting means more time working and more time to relax after a long day of hard work. We value our engineers and strive to make their lives easier- but we have also found that well-rested, valued engineers provide better services to our customers. A cloud-based business model truly makes everyone happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-7078a66\" data-block-id=\"7078a66\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible hours<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-0779c59\" data-block-id=\"0779c59\"><style>.stk-0779c59{height:30px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most attractive benefits to new employees is flexible hours. However, the engineering industry is falling quite far behind in this regard- not only are 9-5 jobs in the industry the standard, but most employees end up working a significant amount of overtime. Who wants to work in an office where they\u2019re overworked, underappreciated and spend more time in an office than in their own home? At MFS Engineering, we want to radically transform the notion that engineers should be overworked. Flexible hours give our engineers the ability to run errands without pressure and more time to spend with their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-c2ea48a\" data-block-id=\"c2ea48a\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-3.jpg.webp 649w, https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Advantages-of-Cloud-Based-Engineering-Business-Part-2-pic-3.jpg-300x167.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-5a3a202\" data-block-id=\"5a3a202\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about how MFS Engineering can help homeowners&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/building-damages\/structural-for-homeowner-part-one\/\">Part1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/building-damages\/structural-for-homeowner-part-two\/\">Part2&nbsp;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe one day other&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mfsengineering.com.au\/solutions\/builders-and-developers\/\">engineering consultancies<\/a>&nbsp;will catch up and switch to online platforms.
