Success Story

Hoffman Construction Company Exhibits Success with Topcon Solutions

Hoffman Construction Company Exhibits Success with Topcon Solutions

Customer challenge

As one of the largest general contractors located in the Pacific Northwest, Hoffman Construction Company (Hoffman) encounters numerous projects occurring at the same time, which requires a lot of coordination and management of data. As they continue to work on projects across states and teams, they recognized a need to improve coordination, management and sharing of data with their stakeholders. Through close discussions with Topcon Solutions, Hoffman pursued solutions for their teams’ needs.

Project goals

Hoffman had three key goals in mind: 1) Identify a platform to better collaborate and manage data for multiple projects 2) Source new software tools to allow Hoffman’s team to support one another remotely across a wide footprint 3) Discover strategies to control the flow of data between designers and trade partners

Solution

After discussions to review their needs, Topcon Solutions took action to onboard and support the Hoffman team with the introduction and use of BIM 360 Docs and BIM 360 Design. Topcon Solutions provided Hoffman robust software solutions which allowed them to collaborate with their design teams, trade partners and project owners through real-time coordination and data management.

Business outcome

After immersing themselves into the functionality of BIM 360 Docs and BIM 360 Design, Hoffman saw great success in executing roughly 15-20 projects with various stakeholders across many states. Hoffman notes the functionality within the software provides them a common data environment (CDE) and templatizing of project folders so they can give everyone they coordinate with a sense of familiarity and transparency.

Conclusion

Topcon Solutions sought to identify opportunities for Hoffman to set their project teams, clients and trade partners up for success by using a CDE to collaborate on projects, provide transparency on documents and overall projects, as well as seamlessly connect teams across great distances. Hoffman now has the tools and a process for how to handle various projects occurring at the same time and increased control of their project data.
