Case Study: Joeris General Contractors achieves data-driven preconstruction adoption and faster collaboration with Autodesk BIM 360

How Joeris Drives Adoption of Construction Data in Preconstruction and Beyond

Joeris General Contractors, a Texas-based regional contractor active in competitive K–12 and religious markets, faced slow adoption of model-based workflows in preconstruction—leading to longer timelines, poorer collaboration, and greater downstream risk. To overcome this, Joeris partnered with Autodesk BIM 360 and used the Assemble tool to drive the use of construction data and 3D models during preconstruction.

Using Autodesk BIM 360’s Assemble, Joeris piloted a focused rollout where estimators led the change, training shifted to one‑on‑one coaching, and teams monitored models weekly. The approach delivered measurable impact: 23 projects adopted Assemble, takeoff time for variance reports fell by 35%, and a prototype elementary school estimate stayed within 0.5% from schematic to bid—while improving collaboration, shortening preconstruction timelines, and enabling proactive design steering.
