Update: I watched a foreman print paper drawings at 6am for the third time this month and I finally said something
Half the crew on the Cedar Park job in Austin is squinting at a rolled up sheet from 2019 while the subs pull up the wrong revision on their tablets, and when I asked why we do not just push the current set to everyone's phone he said the guys "prefer paper," which is the same excuse that cost us a $4,200 reframe last spring, so tell me how you got your older crew to actually trust the app version.

We had the same fight on a hospital job two years back and what finally turned it around was making the app the easy path, not the smart path. I sat with our two oldest hands, guys with 30 plus years, and showed them the pinch and zoom on their own phones instead of talking at them in a meeting, because they were not against the app, they just did not want to feel dumb in front of the young guys. The other thing that helped was the foreman agreeing to post the current rev to the app first thing every morning and only printing for anyone who asked, so paper stopped being the default. It took about a month and a couple of guys still keep a paper set in the truck, but they check the app before they build now. Your mileage may vary, but the $4,200 reframe is a good story to bring up when you make the case.
