Challenge
Mountjoy struggled to keep project teams aligned using a clunky, time-consuming system. Documents had to be uploaded and shared individually, making it hard to ensure everyone worked from the latest specifications and drawings. This led to miscommunication, delays, and costly rework when outdated information was used.
Approach
By adopting Access Fonn, Mountjoy gave site teams instant access to up-to-date project information via mobile and tablet. Uploading and sharing documents became quick and seamless, while drawings could be reviewed in detail without leaving the platform. The intuitive interface made adoption easy across all teams.
Results
- Centralised project information, reducing delays and miscommunication across teams.
- Cut repetitive admin tasks by streamlining document uploads and sharing.
- Improved efficiency and clarity, enabling faster project delivery and better collaboration.
“We definitely recommend Fonn to others in the construction industry because of the value it provides, especially when compared to other options.”

Before Fonn – Slow systems and version control chaos
Darren Quainton, Operations Manager at Mountjoy, knew that project management could be a lot smoother and more efficient than it was. Managing quantity surveyors, site managers, and project managers meant Mountjoy needed a system where everyone had access to the same up-to-date information. Their old system was clunky and time-consuming; every document had to be uploaded and sent out one by one, making it a hassle to keep everyone in the loop.
Without a way to ensure all teams had access to the latest specifications and drawings, they struggled with miscommunications, delays, and even total reworks when outdated information had been used.
The Solution? Fonn
With Fonn on their phones and tablets, the site team finally had everything they needed at their fingertips. Now project updates are always accessible, and reviewing drawings is straightforward down to the finest detail.
Since partnering with Fonn, managing projects across multiple teams and locations has gone from frustrating and uncoordinated to simple and efficient. Darren’s job and the work of his entire team became instantly easier.
