“Moving into assembling the construction systems we manufacture off-site was a logical next step in advancing the business, but even though the market demand was there, we couldn’t do it alone.”
“One of the real challenges – which make this project quite unique – is the way in which we serve up the data to our client. This is accomplished by means of a Web user interface, desktop software, SMS and e-mail messages."
“It’s really the next level and an opportunity for us to significantly improve our efficiency, field safety and precision, It’s also a key component of our efforts to attract new operators to our industry.”
“We see the industry trending towards relationships, more than pure dollars and cents. Customers want to know that we can provide complete MEP services including balancing how our scope of work on a project impacts all other trades and the project’s overall cost. Trimble’s 3D scanner and software helps us do this and it fits into our BIM workflow. It’s just one more reason why we’re positioned much better to help customers in MEP and mechanical services space because we’re thinking big picture.”
"Locating hangers and installing systems takes much longer with a conventional process of using tape measures and is much less accurate. With the robotic process, we can transfer our design directly from our digital files to the robot, which ensures that all of our work is installed precisely.”
“The two tools, AutoBid Mechanical and AutoBid SheetMetal have already paid for themselves. As we grow, I believe we’ll rely on these tools even more as a way to continue to provide quality solutions to our customers with greater efficiency.”
"By giving project managers the responsibility, accountability, and the right workflow, we now have complete transparency and greater predictability in the financial management of projects."
"With our old processes, the data and actual costs associated with a project weren’t available in the project management system. Users had to download a projection spreadsheet and manually key that data into the accounting system to create their projections, it was a tedious chore."
"This type of customization and automation saves us hours of manual data entry work, freeing up time for higher value work."
“With Catalyst we have better accuracy and more confidence in positioning. It gives us the ability to be more competitive and deliver superior service to our clients.”
“Without the GCS900 system we would have had to put people in the water to take measurements and monitor where we were digging, Instead we were able to keep everyone safely away from the excavation because operators could watch the screen and excavate efficiently and directly in accordance with the design.”
“Having our own in-house mobile mapping system enables us to capture imagery once and use it often, which saves the taxpayer a lot of money. The MX7 is stable, flexible and dependable and can be used on water and land. The imagery is accessible to both citizens and stakeholders.”
"We especially liked that the solution (Trimble Field Link) provided more options, flexibility and long-term applications including the integrated camera and the measurement range that the total station is able to shoot."
“We produced better information in less time. Without the scanning functionality, fieldwork would have stretched for many days, and produced less detail.”
“The point cloud gave us the confidence to design and build our pre-fabricated panels with assurance that we could successfully complete this project.”
