How Autodesk Construction Cloud Has Helped Start-Up Whelan Construction Win Bids Over Competitors

How Autodesk Construction Cloud Has Helped Start-Up Whelan Construction Win Bids Over Competitors

Customer challenge

As a start-up company, Whelan Construction faced challenges in identifying the right solutions and systems that would ensure a smooth and consistent workflow process to deliver end-to-end construction services for all stages of a project. Outside of these solution requirements, one of the biggest challenges that Whelan Construction’s founder, Brian Whelan, had experienced was selecting a suitable project and field management software package for a small to medium sized construction company, a package that seamlessly connects the field and office.

Project goals

Whelan Construction's goal was to invest in a leading solution that would make it easy for the team to work with other project stakeholders, have connected workflows, increased transparency, and track construction progress throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects.

Solution

Given Autodesk’s extensive product portfolio, SolidCAD helped Whelan Construction to determine the right software solutions that goes together with their needs and the construction industry’s best practices requirements. With Autodesk Construction Cloud, specifically, Autodesk Docs,  Build, and AutoCAD, Whelan Construction now has a common environment for all project-related data.

Business outcome

After implementing Autodesk Docs, Build, Whelan Construction took one-on-one training with SolidCAD on the Cost Management component of the software to better understand and connect project management and field execution data to cost activities to understand root causes and scope cost impacts. Whelan Construction is now able to ensure projects stay on track, improve collaboration and reduce miscommunication, potential errors, and rework.

Conclusion

With the ability to track all issues in one place and reduce costly rework, Whelan Construction can now keep projects on schedule all while being able to manage project data and project bids. As a new and upcoming construction firm, Whelan Construction has taken one step further in developing very detailed proposals with an ability to give the preview on designs and project development stages as required, providing them a competitive edge when winning bids.

Streamlining Workflows and Improving Data Management with Fusion 360 Manage!

After an investigation of 3D-P’s issues, the team identified two specific areas they wanted to improve; (1) the inefficient design management that relied heavily on manual data entry, and outdated practices for managing their Bill of Materials (BOMs) and (2) challenges of change management and communication. As the company grew, they realized that a lot of their processes were slowing them down and needed to be optimized.
