“When I have a revision from the designer, I can upload that revision to the drawing and push it out to the entire project team. Now everybody on the project receives a notification that a new revision is available, which results in fewer version control issues and enhances efficiency.”
“We use Autodesk Construction Cloud, including BIM 360 Design. We vet and onboard trade partners early on in the preliminary design process and co-author models together. This method provides shared ownership of design, which is a big key benefit. But then it also allows us to leverage all the other tools within the ecosystem, including BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, and Assemble.”
"On an infrastructure project like this, we needed to effectively layout the drawings and get them into the hands of the field in real-time. Without this, we’d run the risk of working off an outdated model, which could result in schedule delays and costly rework."
"My hope is that my experiences will be combined to aid the next generation growing up in Jacksonville."
"PlanGrid is a lightning rod that gives us the ability and opportunity to connect better with folks in the field."
"The growth of collaboration software has gone from virtually non-existent to pretty much required on every job."
"It’s a big deal just to put notes on a set of plans, push a button and someone can read it immediately, whether they are in Hawaii or Vietnam."
“The ease of use. It’s totally awesome. I think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.”
“It took a long time for us to get to this point where our workers know they should prioritize safety above all else, even efficiency. We don’t expect them to stand on the top of a ladder that’s too short when they’re installing a light fixture to save 10 minutes. Instead, we now observe them walking back to the trailer to grab the right one. What’s required of them is that they do it the right and safe way, so that they go home to their families and come back tomorrow healthy. It’s been a challenging migration of thought because productivity is also a focus. We set our standards at the highest level to make sure that we achieve our intended safety performance, meet schedules, and keep our people safe, happy and healthy.”
"If I could have one wish fulfilled for the future generator of builders, and specifically, the architects and engineers, it would be to get field experience."
"It’s exciting to see that on new projects an engineer can generate a full submittals log basically in a day now, rather than weeks."
"What started as this little company out of my home, grew larger than we ever thought it could."
"With PlanGrid, having everyone communicating on the same single source of truth and sharing that same information across different devices instantaneously is super crucial to moving a project forward."
"The most beneficial technology has to be able to provide collaboration. No one project is built by one person or one company."
“A huge influence as to why we went ahead and decided to adopt PlanGrid enterprise-wide was its adaptability and ease of use in the field. When you have someone who’s been a builder for 20 years or so, and you put a new piece of technology in their hands, you certainly don’t want them to spend significant time learning how to use it. Beyond that, as PlanGrid continues to innovate additional experiences and features, we’re looking forward to leveraging them.”
