Case Study: Clayco achieves zero punchlists and real-time issue resolution with Autodesk BIM 360

How Clayco Is Making “Zero Punchlists” a Reality with Autodesk

Clayco, a 3,500+ person design‑build general contractor, faced a chronic punchlist problem—hundreds of inconsistent checklists and thousands of end‑of‑project issues that created stressful, costly closeouts. To support its trademarked “Punch as You Build” process, Clayco expanded its long‑standing use of Autodesk BIM 360 into Autodesk Construction Cloud, deploying Forms and centralized issue tracking to standardize quality workflows across the company.

Using Autodesk BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud Forms, Clayco consolidated roughly 500 duplicate checklists into 250 standardized templates, enforced assignments and workflows, added QR‑code area tracking, and trained crews and subcontractors to punch as they build. The result: a 50% reduction in punchlists, one data‑center building phase turned over with zero punch items, faster closeouts, and higher owner satisfaction — measurable improvements Clayco attributes to the Autodesk BIM 360/Construction Cloud implementation.
