“Having those controls and having standardization, it's really helped us become more efficient, it helps with quality control compliance, scaling our work so we can go to the next job and people are trained and understand what they're doing, so it's not a big change every time they go to another job.”
-Curtis Smith, Project Controls Manager, Sundt Construction
THE CHALLENGE
Since its founding in 1890, Sundt Construction has tackled North America's most challenging projects. With those 130+ years comes an ongoing need for adaptation and reinvention. At Sundt, the growing complexity and diversity of its capital construction efforts and a greater need for incoming craft talent sparked project delays and added costs. Throughout the organization, each division developed unique approaches for project management, document control, and similar processes, leading to a network of crowded and competing solutions.
THE BENEFITS
An organization-wide InEight adoption standardized Sundt's document control processes across projects and divisions. After decades of conflicting experiences, this new approach not only introduced real-time data access and an improved ability to manage complex workflows but also significantly improved communication, collaboration, and performance across the organization. Now, contributors can jump from project to project without learning a new workflow with each engagement. Teams have reliable mobile access and can pull from the latest and greatest details from nearly anywhere on Earth.
THE OUTCOME
Sundt's InEight adoption streamlined its workflows and created a more unified project experience. With better communication and fewer delays, project timelines and accuracy have improved—further cementing the organization's reputation for quality and reliability. As an added bonus, Sundt continues to see greater interest in their organization among college graduates entering the field.
