Case Study: Stantec achieves $4.4 million in one-year savings with Autodesk BIM 360

How Stantec Saved $4.4 Million in One Year By Utilizing Construction Document Management Software

Stantec, an integrated design‑build contractor working across water, hydropower, mining and transportation, faced sector‑wide inefficiencies from paper‑based site processes, rework, delays and RFIs. To digitize delivery on UK water framework conversion projects and upskill project teams, Stantec adopted Autodesk BIM 360 (Glue, Field and Plan) to improve collaboration, quality control and time‑on‑site certainty.

Autodesk BIM 360 provided a Deployment Specialist, ongoing support and a monthly Community of Practice to implement digital rehearsals, site planning and connected field–design workflows. Stantec users reported a 7.3% weekly time saving on inspections (≈3.3 employee hours/week, ~$111,700 saved per project) yielding ~$1.02M across projects in 2017, plus an 11.1% reduction in rework (~$6,000/month, $144,000 per 24‑month project) yielding ~$3.38M across projects—about $4.4M total saved in one year—along with fewer delays, shorter site programs and reduced RFIs.
