“Team members are unwilling to leave their office without an iPad and Plangrid under their arm.”
“I could quickly photograph the exact window, socket outlet, floor area or the fixtures and fittings we needed to survey, link the photo to an exact location on the floor plan and add additional commentary where necessary. It helped me get through 60 apartments in one day.”
“We try to fabricate as much as we can to save time in the field. This way, we can control the environment and deliver the highest quality of manufacturing and craftsmanship to our clients. Once the models are approved, we upload the spool sheets into PlanGrid for the field staff to access. They’re able to quickly mark up, create a task, and identify an issue before we begin fabrication. This process allows us to adjust in real-time to ensure accuracy in what’s delivered onsite.”
"We used to wait until the end of the week to identify and reconcile crashes and errors, but with BIM 360 Glue, we can do it instantaneously."
"What used to take us six weeks, now takes us 24 hours."
"With access to BIM 360 Coordinate from the field via an iPad, teams have the most up-to-date model, and have visibility into exactly what the space should look like, minimizing the risk of confusion and rework."
"Before BuildingConnected, we might have two estimators working on the same project — wires would get crossed. We’d lose a week’s worth of work when we could have been doing something else."
"On average, I’d say BuildingConnected saves us at least a full work day per week."
"Using a cloud solution allows you to pull and print off reports and means that as a Project Manager, you can make sure the right people are doing the right tasks. PlanGrid was absolutely the right tool for this job."
"PlanGrid is saving us a lot of money by helping prevent mistakes on the job site. 100 hours of rework costs us about $9,000 in labor alone, and now that we always have the latest plans right there in our hands, I don’t have to worry about this as much."
“I can sort and filter the data from Assemble by installation status and activity IDs in seconds to see quantities installed. With the manual take-off methods, it would take hours, and when we would go back and double-check, the numbers would come out different every time. With Assemble, we have extreme confidence in the number we are reporting."
"We often start construction with 70 percent of the drawings. PlanGrid is vital in that communication of site construction to get the updated drawings to the team as soon as they’re ready."
"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."
"We can now make insights available to our site colleagues in real time. This leads us to work proactively instead of reactively with challenges, project plans, risks, and cost controls. With the help of machine learning, we hope to interpret and analyze bigger amounts of data and share those insights with project leads and subcontractors to ultimately improve our safety, environment, and efficiency."
"The partnership with Autodesk will allow and enable us to create untold value today and in the future. Embracing BIM 360 and Forge allows us to be more precise with the data we gather, store, and analyze—enabling us to reach our goals of reducing time and material waste."
