Case Study: Plant Construction achieves up to 40% faster takeoff time with Assemble Systems

Leading San Francisco Contractor Uses Assemble to Tackle Preconstruction Challenges

Plant Construction, a San Francisco Bay Area contractor, needed a faster, more accurate way to handle preconstruction estimating and compare frequent design revisions across projects. The team was already using BIM tools, but wanted a simpler cloud-based solution that could support 3D takeoff, model comparison, and reusable search sets without heavy software setup. They turned to Assemble Systems and its cloud-based model data platform.

Assemble Systems helped Plant Construction streamline preconstruction by letting estimators quickly pull quantities from models, verify 2D takeoffs, and collaborate in real time across the team. The result was improved estimate accuracy and faster analysis of design changes, with takeoff time reduced by up to 40%. Assemble Systems also enabled Plant Construction to standardize search sets for future projects and better visualize complex building elements, saving significant time and reducing errors.
